Summary of Universal Precautions and Laboratory Safety Procedures

Universal Precautions   Since medical history and examination cannot reliably identify all patients infected with HIV or other blood borne pathogens, blood and body-fluid precautions should be consistently used for all patients.   1. All health-care workers should routinely use appropriate barrier precautions to prevent skin and mucous-membrane exposure when contact with blood or other body fluids of any patient is anticipated. Gloves should be worn for touching blood and body fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin of all patients, for handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or body fluids, and for performing venipuncture and other vascular access procedures. Gloves should be changed after contact with each patient. Masks and protective eyewear or face shields should be worn during procedures that are likely to generate  droplets of blood or other body fluids to prevent exposure of mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes. Gowns or aprons should be w...

Orientation to the laboratory : Rules of Conduct and general safety

Many of the microorganisms used in this course may be pathogenic for humans and animals. As a result, certain rules are necessary to avoid the possibility of infecting yourself or other people.Anyone who chooses to disregard these rules or exhibits carelessness that endangers others may be subject to immediate dismissal from the laboratory. If doubt arises as to the procedure involved in handling infectious material, consult your instructor. In 1997, the American Society for Microbiology, through its Office of Education and Training, adopted the following on laboratory safety. Each point is considered essential for every introductory microbiology laboratory, regardless of its emphasis. A student successfully completing basic microbiology will demonstrate the ability to explain and practice safe 1  Microbiological procedures, including reporting all spills and broken glassware to the instructor and receiving instructions for cleanup methods for aseptic transfer ...

Difference : Catalyst vs Enzyme

Enzymes and catalysts both affect the rate of a reaction. In fact, all known enzymes are catalysts, but not all catalysts are enzymes. The difference between catalysts and enzymes is that enzymes are largely organic in nature and are bio-catalysts, while non-enzymatic catalysts can be inorganic compounds. Neither catalysts nor enzymes are consumed in the reactions they catalyze. For simplicity, catalyst in this article refers to non-enzymatic catalysts to easily differentiate from enzymes. Comparison chart Catalyst Enzyme Function Catalysts are substances that increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction but remain unchanged. Enzymes are proteins that increase rate of chemical reactions converting substrate into product. Molecular weight Low molecular weight compounds. High molecular weight globular proteins. Types There are two types of catalysts – positive and negative cata...
