Hi, We are about to do a prac exam for yr8 using food tests :boring: , the teachers want an 'unknown solution' for the kids to test and they want that to be protein and starch solution. What would you be using as the protein solution, I was thinking about peptone, but I am not sure it would work as ...

Thanks you guy :clap3: Thought I'd have to chuck the whole thing out... Bindi, I have had some very stubborn iodine stains on my benches, one day I dropped a bottle of vitamin C powder on the stain (being the clutz that I am) and miraculously the stain vanished when i started wiping the vitC off :w0...

Am choosing between two suppliers, southern biological and scientrific... As they have no photos of there slides I don't know what the quality of the slides are... D...

Hi, Yes you are right! I look into it and that is what subculturing means! It is perfectly safe to take swabs from different locations around the school, as long as they are incubated in less than 30degreeC and as long as the plates remain sealed! Unlucky for me, cause I really hate this prac, altho...

I use dilute!
