Assignment 2
1.Mention 15 new and popular things in the Science Laboratory

1. Microfluidic Chips: Miniaturized devices that handle incredibly small amounts


of liquids, enabling faster, cheaper, and more precise analysis in biology,
chemistry, and medicine.

2.3D Bioprinters: Printing living cells and tissues layer by layer to create artificial
organs, drug testing platforms, and personalized medicine solutions.

3. CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: A revolutionary technology that allows scientists to


precisely edit genes in living organisms, with applications in medicine, agriculture,
and bioengineering.

4. Lab-on-a-Chip Devices: Integrating multiple laboratory functions (mixing,


separation, detection) onto a single chip for portable, rapid, and user-friendly
analysis.

5. Synthetic Biology: Engineering biological systems with new functionalities, like


creating microbes that produce biofuels or diagnose diseases.
6. High-Throughput Screening: Simultaneously testing thousands of compounds
against a target molecule, accelerating drug discovery and materials science.

7. Organoids:Tiny, self-organizing 3D cultures of cells that mimic the structure and


function of real organs, offering a more realistic platform for drug testing and
disease modeling.

8. Artificial Intelligence in Lab Automation: Using AI algorithms to optimize


experiments, analyze data, and even design new materials and drugs.

9. Biocompatible Sensors: Implantable or wearable sensors that monitor various


physiological parameters in real-time, revolutionizing personalized healthcare and
medical research.

10. Bioprinting with Stem Cells: Printing stem cells into specific structures to
create replacement tissues or organs for transplantation.

11. Nanobots: Microscopic robots designed to deliver drugs directly to diseased


cells or perform targeted surgery, offering minimally invasive and highly precise
medical interventions.

12. Closed-Loop Bioreactors: Automated systems that continuously monitor and


adjust cell culture conditions, optimizing bio production and reducing waste.
13. Gene Drives: Engineered genetic systems that bias inheritance of specific
genes, potentially eliminating harmful diseases in populations or controlling
invasive species.

14. Biocompatible Materials: New materials that seamlessly integrate with living
tissue, used in implants, drug delivery systems, and artificial organs.

15. Low-Cost, Open-Source Lab Equipment: Affordable and accessible tools like
3D printers and bio hacking kits democratizing science and empowering citizen
scientists and students.

2. National Communications Authority (NCA): Regulates the communications and


broadcasting industry.

3. Food and Drugs Authority (FDA): Ensures the safety and quality of food, drugs,
and other consumables.
4. Energy Commission: Regulates the energy sector, including electricity and
renewable energy.

5. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): Oversees the securities and capital
markets.

6. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Manages environmental issues and


regulations.

7. National Petroleum Authority (NPA): Regulates the petroleum downstream


industry.

8. Ghana Standards Authority (GSA): Sets and enforces national standards for
quality and safety.

9. Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA): Manages taxation and revenue collection.

10. National Insurance Commission (NIC): Regulates the insurance industry.

11. Pharmacy Council Ghana: Regulates the practice of pharmacy in the country.

12. Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA): Manages licensing and
regulations for drivers and vehicles.
13. National Identification Authority (NIA): Responsible for national identification
and registration.

14. Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC): Regulates utility services such
as water and electricity.

15. Agricultural Extension Services: Oversees agricultural practices and extension


services.

16. National Labour Commission (NLC): Resolves labor disputes and ensures fair
labor practices.

17. Minerals Commission: Regulates the mining and minerals sector.

18. Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA): Oversees civil aviation activities and
safety.

19. National Road Safety Authority (NRSA): Promotes road safety and regulates
transportation.

20. Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA): Regulates maritime activities and ensures
safety at sea.
3.Explain 1 practice that a laboratory can use to conserve the environment or
natural resources

One practice that a laboratory can adopt to conserve the environment and
natural resources is the implementation of "Green Chemistry" principles. Green
Chemistry focuses on designing and conducting chemical processes and
experiments that minimize the use of hazardous substances and reduce
environmental impact.

For example, a laboratory can:

1. Substitution of Hazardous Materials:**

- Replace toxic or hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives during


experiments.

- Choose solvents and reagents that are less harmful to the environment and
human health.

By adopting such green practices, laboratories contribute to the reduction of


chemical waste, energy consumption, and overall environmental impact while
maintaining the scientific integrity of their work.
