Avidadham'15

Hi readers,

I got an idea! (Bulb glows bright!) Yes, an idea to meet all my blog readers if you want to! How cool! What? Are you asking me to stop!? Oh? yes? Are you asking me, "What is the relation between this IDEA and the title of the post AVIDADHAM'15?". Wait, dears. There is a correlation. This idea to meet you all is a function of Avidadham'15! To put it in a mathematical expression : 

Idea = f(Avidadham'15) 

:P :D This is the result of doing so much Math for semester exams. Okay, coming to the point, What is avidadham'15? Avidadham'15 is an International Conference organised by the Department of Biotechnology, Anna University, Chennai. I think, now you might have got the point. Yes, I'm a post graduate student in the department and I welcome you all to Avidadham'15. It is for 3 days! It will be fun for all research and science lovers, so, all my bacteria lovers, come and join us! 


You can meet international and national scientists, present your research work in poster/oral presentation events, attend the workshops  and last but not the least, you can also meet me! (I got your mind voice saying, "Come on, Kanmani is not a celebrity to meet, just a blogger!". Oh yeah, but, if you wanna meet me,just, in case :P) (One more point: The food provided in Avidadham will also be delicious :P)

I can assure you one thing about Avidadham as I have also attended it as an undergraduate student, as a participant. I learnt so many things, I got all excited and the speakers were brilliant! So, I can assure you that you would learn so many things and get a good exposure to recent research trend. Don't worry about accommodation and other stuffs, we will take care of all those. Hurry and register!

Now, as a part of Avidadham'15 team, I welcome all my blog readers and friends to the conference. Let's listen, share and enjoy the fun of Biotechnology.

Tired of the routine schedule? Searching for a platform to showcase your research work? Looking for an International conference related to biotech in Chennai? Undergraduate? Post Graduate? JRF? SRF? Professor? Scientist?  This is a perfect place for you to land! All are cordially invited!

So, Coming? To meet me? Leave a comment or an e-mail! Cheers, Let's meet! :D

Lowry Assay Principle and procedure

Though there are several protein assays available, the most preferred one in many laboratories is "Lowry assay". It is effective in the concentration range of 0.01 mg/ml to 1 mg/ml. And, as an additional info, the paper published describing the procedure and principle of Lowry Assay is the most cited paper in the scientific history. (Feeling like, "Wow! I want to publish one to compete with Oliver.H. Lowry"???  :P) Why Lowry?   Though there are several other protein assays, mostly Lowry assay is used in many laboratories. The reasons for preferring Lowry are: sensitivity of the assay, highly reproducible, cost effective, easy to perform. Biuret assay is generally used for higher protein concentrations like tissue samples but, Lowry for less concentrated samples and hence used in most of the molecular biology laboratories where there will be need for assaying comparatively less concentrated protein samples (in most cases where we attempt to produce enzymes).

Fire in the lab!!! BE CAREFUL!!!! A Lesson learnt!

   That day, we were working in our lab under laminar air flow chamber. we were streaking our plates with E.coli. For sterilizing the loop, we were using 70% ethanol. We also sterilized the L rod which we used for spreading , using the same Ethanol.  One by one, we started streaking and spreading. I completed my turn, and sterilized the L rod by dipping in ethanol once and shown in flame, and placed it in a tray.Mam instructed, " Ethanol will catch fire , if you place the hot rod over it" . One of my friend, did spreading after my turn, she too dipped the rod in ethanol, flamed the rod and instead of placing in the tray she misplaced the hot rod in the ethanol plate!!!! " oooo... fire fire..." immediately ethanol caught fire..!!! My friend who misplaced., she started crying... Mam shouted, " hey girls, guys run out of the lab...," as the tube which carries LPG for the flame was very close to fire. Suddenly, our lab technician acte...

Galaataa at Chemical engg lab!!! :D :D Bang!!!

Venturi meter  Oooo.. Pipes, Flows, Fluid flow rate... A different class of chemical engineering, which i never expected in Biotechnology. Thought that mechanical guys alone read on & deal on this thermodynamics!!! But, I too dealt with this thermodynamics. The chemical engineering lab which includes exercises like, 1) Venturi meter 2) Orifice Meter 3) Rota meter 4) Packed bed 5) Fluidised bed... The list goes on and ends with number 14! But, I do remember only these topics. Completed with the exercise, " FLUID FLOW THROUGH A STRAIGHT CIRCULAR PIPE " in the last lab on thursday!. Here we go with that lab experience.  Noted the reading from manometer and stop clock successfully with my two batch mates! Some data we searched for calculation : 1) Density of Mercury : 13,600 Kg/m^3  2) Viscosity of Water  : 0.001 Kg/(m-s) 3) We were in need of the area of the collecting tank .... A terrible attempt by me, for measuring the width & breadth. ...
