LABORATORY EXAMINATION
1. Identify the following apparatus and give its corresponding function. Information required beside
some of the pictures are additional answer that should be given. 2pts each.
a. Mortar and Pestle – is both used to crush and grind solid substances. Mortar is
the bowl where the substances are being crushed, while, the pestle is the bat-
shaped object used fpr crushing, grinding, and mixing. This apparatus can be made
from wood, ceramic, or stone.
b. Test Tube Clamp – is used to hold the test tube when the tube contains
hazardous or hot chemicals.
Test tube – where substances, mostly liquid is contained and tested in many
ways like being burned over the Bunsen burner or centrifuged.
d. Serologic pipet – contain graduation marks to the tip and is a blowout pipet to deliver the full
vollume of the pipette. It is used to transfer milliliter volumes of liquid.
MATCHING TYPE:
Tubes and additives.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
Classification of fires
1. the fire triangle has been modified into a three-dimensional pyramid known as fire tetrahedron.
3. Compresses gases is one of the most widely used liquified gases in the lab.
5. what chemical waste is used as preservative that forms explosive salts with metals in pipes? Sodium
azide.
6. chemical wastes are subject to strict cradle to grave tracking under the RCRA.
9. respirators with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters must be worn when working directly
with patients with TB.
10. what is the concentration of bleach used to disinfect spillage of infectious material? 10%.
DISCUSSION:
a. serum and plasma – the main difference between the two is that the serum does not contain
fibrinogen while the plasma have fibrinogen that activates the blood clotting factors forming blood clot.
Therefore, plasma is the liquid portion of unclotted blood, while, serum is the liquid portion of the
clotted blood.
b. WBC and RBC thoma pipet – WBC thoma pipet is smaller than RBC pipet to dilute blood with fluid by
1:20 and 1:200 respectively.
c. serologic pipet and volumetric pipet – serologic pipet contains graduation marks to the tip and is a
blowout type of pipet, while, the volumetric pipet dispense and transfer aqueous solution in a self-
draining manner and has the greatest degree of accuracy and precision in terms of diluting standards,
calibrators, and quality-control material.
The site for the toddler’s venipuncture would be the antecubital vein of the arm. With
assistance from the parent, sufficient blood specimen should be drawn for the CBC test.
The correct order of draw would be Light Blue, Red, Green, and Lavender.
