Mid 1 Flashcards
5 common glassware
High thermal resistant
High silica
High alkali resistant
Low actinic
standard flint
high thermal glass type
borosilicate
high thermal used for
beakers, flasks, pipettes
Resists heat changes
silica used for 3
optics, mirrors, cuvettes, thermometers
alkali glass, and used for
aluminosilicate
screen protectors- scratch resistants, alkaline resistant / corrosion
standard flint glass, and used for
soda lime
cheap: glass ware single use and dishes
5 plastic wares
polyolefins, polycarbonate, tygon (polyvinyl chloride), teflon, polystyrene
polyolefins 2 subs
polyethylene
polypropylene
polyolefins characteristics and used for
-unaffected by strong chemicals
-disposable: urine tubes, sample tubes, pipettes, bottles
-some autoclaves
polycarbonate characteristics and used for 2
-strong by susceptible to chemicals
-autoclavable
-centrifuge tubes and graduated cylinders
-not disposable
tygon 3 charac/uses
-non toxic
-flexible
-used in tubing
-clear
-handles most chemicals
teflon charac/purpose
-tough resin
-non-wettable/ is repelelnt
-stirring bars, stopcock, caps, tubing
-chemic innert
polystyrene charac/purpose
-chemic inert
-transparent
-not autoclavable
-microliter plates, petri dishes
most accurate flasks are
volumetric
graduated cylinders
less accurate but verstitile
beakers
not calibrated,
used as holding containers
Erlenmeyer flask
not calibrated
used for mixing to eliminate vapour
funnels
support filter
cuvettes
used in light measurement
fritted glass funnels
made from fine glass and different porosity used with filter paper, easy clean
-filters strong acids and bases
separating funnels
-separate immiscible liquids
-drop by drop filtering
test tubes can be made from
glass or plastic
centrifuge tubes
used to separate solids and liquids
plastic or though glass
3 types of cuvettes/ material
-disposable polystyrene
-quartz
-silica
storage bottles characteristics
cylindrical
narrow necks
ground glass stoppers or screw tops
burets used for
titration or standardization procedure
drop by drop
desiccators used for
drying out reagents and solids
2 types of desiccants and color
drierite
barium oxide
blue is dry pink is wet
non volumetric vs volumetric
not used for accuracy (just to aproximate) vs is
what class should all volumetric ware be in
class A analytic quality
To contain vs
to deliver
to contain holds some liquid at the end that must be blown out, to deliver if drained properly does not need to be blown out
temp calibration for ware
20 C
fourth part on the glass ware is
units, ml ususally
volumetric glassware 3 ex
volumetric flasks,
graduated cylinders
pipette
3 steps to clean glass
-group
-hot water
-brush
new glasses are what and must be what
-alkaline
-soaked in acid water
-and rinsed
contaminated glass clean with
-10-20% bleach
last rinse should always be with
-distilled water
cloudy, dirty, coagulated organic matter cleaned with
chromatic acid
protein cleaned with
ammonium hydroxide
grease cleaned with
sodium carbonate
heavy metals cleaned with
dilute nitric acid
capacity of pipetted
1 uL to 100 mL
semi-automated capacity
100 uL-1.0 mL
macro capacity
> 0.1 mL
micro capcacity
<0.1 mL (100 uL)
concave meniscus for … vs convex
clear
opaque
mohr vs sero vs volumt TC or TD
mohr TD
sero TC
volum TD
tolerance
what liquid is actually being delivers
%/100 x pipette mL = x minus pipette mL
tissue that wipes
Kimwipe
wipe semi auto only when and after always
working with blood
rinse out
6 thermal equipment
