A tour of the Microbiology Lab - Section Two

[@1977TheHammer]

Gram Staining: Heat fixing slides can lyse RBCs in a bloody sample, which leads to artifacts that can fool a tech into seeing gram positive cocci. Its not too common, but it happens. We don't recommend heat fixing slides in our lab.
Air dry at room temp, then fix with 1 min under methanol. We also recently dropped commericial decolorizer that uses acetone-alcohol mixures, and instead decolorize with Methanol. It takes a few more squirts, but you don't risk over-decolorizing. The commercial decolorizors can rip out crystal violet too easily. Personal preference, but my gram stains always look great with Methanol. ;)

You are an excellent lecturer, I love your explanation, so clear and with all the information. I specialised in Histology but I had wanted microbiology. With your lecture I am able to run a microbiology lab now. Thank you very much

[@lyrebirdhalifax]

you can tell its an old video because he suggests using penicillin against a gpc

[@frostgaming1630]

I’m trying to be a microbiologist and this is getting me really excited about being one

[@cassiusrylan3361]

I realize I am pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@merrickmarcel4508]

@Cassius Rylan i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@milesben7635]

@Merrick Marcel yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself =)

[@lorenzomagnus2183]

@Merrick Marcel Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!

[@merrickmarcel4508]

@Cassius Rylan You are welcome xD

[@designingthewheel]

I'm just about to commence my degree in laboratory medicine, and these videos are great for making practical links to the material. n.n

[@REAL0619]

You helped me much with my lessons in Microbiology. I'm a MedTech. Student and I'm glad I watched your video. I already understood the differences of the Agars :)

[@kimjay8376]

This video is so nice! It really summarizes what's happening at the lab. Thank you so much!

[@misa_marcus1953]

I love this vid no matter how much i watch it, it doesn't get boring! It actually made me want to be a virologist! (A branch of microbiology ) when I'm lost, I'd like to see this to remember why i want to do what i want.

[@whiteymcflightey]

Sweet hair dude.

[@akhandpratapchauhan1306]

Thanks sir for such a great ideal video 👍

[@mahirrahman7]

Crystal clear explaining

[@kiransundar2136]

even its a demo session wearing gloves is mandatory sir..rules are rules..

[@neilvanasch8252]

kiran sundar I work in a clinical lab. Less than 10% of techs working the bench wear gloves while reading cultures. It significantly decreases manual dexterity and increases your chances of transferring bugs from one patient's plates to another.

[@firstchirriru]

Wow great explanation thank you so much. I'm just wondering where is your gloves Sir

[@raghadabdu2507]

i think before 9 years there is no gloves in the lab ..
first specialty whose use the gloves is Dentistry!

[@CariBaez]

the man has his voice so patient. :)

[@hayalserefhanov6229]

great video thanks

[@AntoinetteAcosta]

so interesting -- this stuff is amazing.

[@jometmathew4351]

Great video sir... Really helpful...

@Yianni8484 At school we are currently studying microbiology and you do need to do a lot of calculations so match is quite useful. We have a more broad study that has more than just microbiology but chemistry is one of the main subjects, we have four hours of class every week and we have a lot of homework. Therefore I assume that chemistry is very important (we only have one hour of math each week) and will be required. I have no clue how much you get paid, probably depends on the country too.

[@Yianni8484]

I'm a baccalaureate student and i am really interested in microbiology. Do i need to do chemistry and maths for this subject because i am also studying those subjects but it seems from the video that they are not that important. i also need to know about payment, if you get paid enough? because i was thinking of marine biology and ive heard that get's more money? plz someone answer my questions :)

[@brandondeshmukh8230]

Thank you for the information.

[@ikram2326]

Thank you so much

[@navrajkaurpurewal613]

Dear you have not discuses about biochemical reactions. How can you identify bacteria without these? On the basis lactose fermentation or colony morphology it is very difficult to report of bacterial species

[@yueweige1976]

good video....i just want to send you some gloves

[@farhadsydney1]

Thanks for the help:)

[@joshuaestrada6042]

My dream job

[@Armankhan-rg6qb]
