...Laboratory Enhancement Project Created for: San Pedro College By: National Laboratory Incorporated Introduction The Laboratory Enhancement Project brings you a complete facility of equipment and machinery in a laboratory. The project proposes an updated materials in handling corrosive chemicals and heating or boiling plates. The company will be of help of renewing materials for the advantage of the incoming students. Also, this project will conduct a 5-day seminar for the employees in the stock holder room and teachers for a discussion of proper ways of how to handle with care of the new substances. The company will administer the materials to be delivered upon their transportation in order for your school to have a less difficulty of transferring the products. They are affordable for they are made of recycled residue. Background The school lacks apparatus for the laboratory purposes. Students can not commit fulfilment for the experiments and specimens. A lack of equipment leads to a lack of knowledge because without the certain material the experiment could not be achieved. The process will fail because the procedure cannot be completed without the object. In order to develop a generation of curious students who are socially aware, academically trained and technological-savvy, the school wants to build a new, well-equipped science lab and classroom. At the moment, the San Pedro College is delivered in a regular classroom through frontal, theoretic teaching. The current...

...in science laboratories, swishes our nose. On the right, in the spacious lab, there is a small, wooden cabinet filled with chemical liquids. Sanguine, emerald, metallic grey, xanthous and yet the colours go on. As we take a detailed look at the liquids, we automatically lean closer to the cabinet, and its frowzy, stuffy smell hits our nose. In a hitech science laboratory, we would not have imagined such smell. In the entire room, there are only ten tables for the individual learning. A teacher is more useful, when they teach individually, especially when it comes to a scientific subject. Each table has an electronic balance, a huge, intact microscope and an aseptic lavatory. After a quick survey of the interior, our eyes come to a woman, sitting near to the window. Brown, short, straight hair, slender, attractive face with black, thick frame glasses. She reads with great concentration, her eyes rarely look up from the book. Every now and then she takes a long, deep breath and her shoulders slowly rise and fall. Her metal bracelet clings on the grey, hardware table with every move, when she turns a page. Suddenly, an agonised, thin voice splits in the air. As we look at a young experimenter, who sits near to the reading woman, we see a beaker full to the brim with scarlet liquid in front of him. He quietly swears as he tries to undo his last, obviously failed step. The woman looks at him perplexedly. He seems younger, than anyone else in the laboratory, therefore...

...Lab Report Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab, we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment, or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However, in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment, we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do, and the eventual purpose of the lab. Doing a lab report are also essential to making corrections for further experiments similar to previously done ones. Pass experiences can help improve and better the new lab in many ways such as the procedure. We can make the procedure clearer and more precise. By doing so, we can do our best to limit the possibility of ingredients that may alternate final results popping up during a lab. Without a precise data and purpose, a lab would not be a lab because it has no means of proving anything that we don’t know of. Too many alternating factors always cause a lab to be useless because we cannot focus on the specific thing we are looking at. Thus, a lab report is essential not just for the lab that the report is for, but essential for bettering future similar experiences. A lab report contains many different parts. One part of the lab report is the analysis of the experiment, which really stands most importantly to a lab. The analysis part...

...HOW MUCH WATER IS IN THE HYDRATE? LABORATORY REPORT PREPARED BY: CHEMISTRY 113 LAB February 2016 PROFESSOR TEACHER ASSISTANT: Introduction: A hydrate is a substance that water. It is important to know how much water is in the hydrate because when performing scientific experiments, it is required to know the mass of each substance. If the substance is heated, then the hydrate can lose the water and the water evaporates, which is called an anhydrous substance. Since water is polar and has interactions with ions, hydrates are made in the substance. How much water the substance can have, depends on the structure of the substance. An example of a hydrate is magnesium sulfate, which the chemical formula is MgSO4. To find the percentage of water in the hydrate, this formula should be used: mass % water of hydration = (g water/ g hydrated salt) x 100%. Procedure: First, set hot plate on maximum heat. Next, you will weigh the mass of the crucible with crucible lid and record data. Weigh out 2.00g-2.50 grams of hydrate; put hydrate into crucible. Using crucible tongs, place crucible with lid and hydrate inside, on top of hot plate for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove lid partially while keeping crucible on hot plate; time for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes is up allow to cool for 5 minutes. After cooling period, record mass of crucible with lid and hydrate and subtract findings from initial mass of empty crucible. For trial 2 place crucible back onto plate and...

...P4 A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is programming that permits you to adequately oversee tests and related information to enhance lab effectiveness. LIMS is programming that permits you to viably oversee tests and related information to enhance lab proficiency. By utilizing a LIMS, your lab can mechanize work processes, coordinate instruments, and oversee tests and related data. Labs utilizing LIMS help their level of polished skill and their capacity to take care of client demand in two ways: * LIMS helps labs produce exact, reproducible results quicker and all the more dependably * LIMS makes information from sequencing runs simpler to store, track, and survey after some time and crosswise over investigations with the goal that labs can assess and enhance operational effectiveness The fundamental component of a LIMS is the administration of tests which comprises of registering and tracking them. After the sample container arrival and registration, the LIMS tracks it and records its area. This may include printing barcodes to recognize the sample compartments. In any case, it is likewise used to build the measure of integration with instruments and applications what is done by making documents which will lead the operations on the example; and to record and trade electronic data what should be possible through Oracle, SQL and Microsoft Access database. Information can be entered into the LIMS by uploading laboratory instrument generated files...

...Jet Propulsion Laboratory by vpnacek | studymode.com Jet Propulsion Laboratory Harvard Business School Case 9-110-031 1.1 Should Gentry Lee recommend launch or delay for the Mars Biological Explorer (MBE) mission? Gentry Lee should recommend the launch for the MBE mission. As stated in the case study, Gentry Lee is introduced to the project with a significant amount of experience working with NASA and interplanetary exploration missions (Kaplan and Mikes, 2010). Multiple review boards took place to discuss in detail the consequences and likelihood of risks occurring. Tiger teams were established to find resolutions to existing problems weeks before the launch date. The case study eludes to a high probability of the budget increasing if the launch is delayed, and the probability the mission would not be successful was low. Because of this, Gentry Lee should recommend the launch of the MBE mission. 1.2 What are the most important factors to consider in this mission? JPL invested substantial time “Identifying, measuring, and applying risk factors against the value opportunity and the cost of failure” (VMware 2013). This methodology was a key process to deciding to launch or delay the launch of MBE. One factor that had an impact is regarding the current team members. Because CalTech operated Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), it is likely that the majority of engineers part of the mission team, were new graduates from CalTech. At that moment in the project life cycle...

...Laboratory Supplies Required in Processing Stat Baby Specimens Laboratory services are critical to providing patient care at the medical center. The Clinical Laboratory orders thousands of items that include very specific laboratory products such as analyzer reagents, and gloves common throughout the medical center. There is a full time employee dedicated to ordering and distributing supplies for the Automated Laboratory. Laboratory specific supplies come in two broad classes; those that are specific an analyzer and general lab supplies. The examples we will use for this summary are creating reagent for the Roche Chemistry Analyzer, and transfer pipets that are used to aliquot specimens in every hospital and research lab in the medical center. Creatinine level is a very common analysis performed on virtually every patient sample. It must be purchased from the manufacturer of the analyzer, which makes it difficult to negotiate pricing separately from the equipment. In addition, the reagent has an expiration date, and must be refrigerated making the holding costs very expensive. There is only a nominal additional cost to order product. As a result, this item is counted and ordered weekly to bring supplies up to a par value. However, this frequency can be problematic for many reasons, which includes more stock rotation and a need to repeatedly work up lot changes on the analyzer. In contrast, the transfer pipettes are purchased from our preferred vendor, but can be bought from...

...Affects of IT on the Healthcare Industry Laboratory Information System (LIS) There has been numerous technological advances in the past decade that have affected the healthcare industry. With the networking and communication systems development, the amount of information exchanged between healthcare professionals has also risen dramatically. IT has had a significant impact on the healthcare delivery system in all areas and it is believed that it will continue to do so into the next century. In this research, I will only discuss the Laboratory Information System (LIS) and also briefly explain the Hospital Information System (HIS), that are being used in the healthcare industry. Laboratory Information System A laboratory information system (LIS), is a type of software that handles receiving, processing and storing information generated by Medical laboratory processes. These systems must interface with instruments/analyzers and other information systems such as hospital information systems (HIS). An LIS is a highly configurable application which is customized to facilitate a wide variety of laboratory workflow models. Deciding on an LIS vendor and installing of an LIS software could take a lab from a few months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the organization. LIS’s are complex software applications. There are as many variations of LIS’s as there types of lab work. Disciplines of laboratory science include many aspects such as hematology...

...scientific information in a laboratory management system. LIMS (laboratory information management system) is used in a laboratory for the management of samples, standards, instruments etc. The instruments are used in the laboratory network in order to be able to receive worklists from the LIMS so they are able to update any information that is relevant to other systems. An example of where LIMS is used is in industry as it maintains the information in the systems. Overall, LIMS have some special functions for example the registration of a sample, the storage of data and the equipment that is used in the analysis of the sample. The main feature of a LIMS is the sample management which involves tracking them. For instance if a sample container arrives the registration must be completed and the LIMS would track it and record its location. This could consist of printing off barcodes in order to identify the sample containers. LIMS could exchange and record electronic information. Along with all these functions of LIMS, it also manages the communication with your clients and the related documents. Also, all information is centralised. Some of the main types of information that would need to be stored on your lab’s LIMS would be COSHH records (control of substance hazardous to health) to ensure the awareness of health and safety, waste disposal to show how much waste is disposed and how much is actually produced, security because different types of laboratories have different levels of...

...and failure for a coalmine. The heating value is a quality of particular interest. It is the basis of payment in most coal supply contracts. In the United States, the heating value of coal is measured in British thermal units per pound (BTU/lb), by using a national standard test procedure (ASTM D-2015). ASTM standards also indicate that repeated measurements should give values within 100 BTU/lb. Normally, the only way to determine heating value is to send a carefully prepared sample off to a laboratory and wait for the results. This can lead to disputes, if the customer and the supplier don’t agree on which lab to use or if the results from different laboratories give drastically different results. In an effort to determine the extent of any intra- or inter-laboratory variation in heating value measurements, one coal company prepared 50 samples of coal from a common area (so that results were expected to be very close). They shipped the samples in two batches to five reputable laboratories. Each batch consisted of five samples sent to each lab; the two batches were sent at different times. The samples were drawn randomly, packed in water (to minimize oxidation effects) and sent in sealed plastic containers. The labs were not aware that an experiment was being run, and the coal company hoped that the results would thus reflect the labs’ normal operating procedures. DATA SET The labs made several measurements, but only those for heating value are given below. What do you think...
