  2. Sucrose lysis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose_lysis_test

    The sucrose lysis test uses an isotonic sucrose solution to lower the ionic strength of serum, which triggers the activation of the classic complement pathway, leading to the lysis of cells that are sensitive to complement. [6] In the sucrose lysis test, patient RBCs are washed and resuspended in a buffered sucrose solution. [7]

  3. Seliwanoff's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seliwanoff's_test

    An example of a positive Seliwanoff’s test. Seliwanoff’s test is a chemical test which distinguishes between aldose and ketose sugars. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose. If a sugar contains an aldehyde group, it is an aldose. This test relies on the principle that, when heated, ketoses are more rapidly dehydrated than ...

  4. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Sucrose is thus a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent. However, sucrose indirectly produces a positive result with Benedict's reagent if heated with dilute hydrochloric acid prior to the test, although it is modified during this treatment as the acidic conditions and heat break the glycosidic bond in sucrose through ...

  5. Sucrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrase

    Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar, so will not test positive with Benedict's solution. To test for sucrose, the sample is treated with sucrase. The sucrose is hydrolysed into glucose and fructose, with glucose being a reducing sugar, which in turn tests positive with Benedict's solution. [citation needed].

  6. Reducing sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_sugar

    It reacts with a reducing sugar to form 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid, which can be measured by spectrophotometry to determine the amount of reducing sugar that was present. [8] Some sugars, such as sucrose, do not react with any of the reducing-sugar test solutions. However, a non-reducing sugar can be hydrolyzed using dilute hydrochloric acid ...

    It can identify a criminal from a single molecule of his DNA left at a crime site. It has spawned a new field, molecular archaeology. Now, by using PCR to replicate the DNA of long-extinct ...

  8. Genetic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_testing

    Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, is used to identify changes in DNA sequence or chromosome structure. Genetic testing can also include measuring the results of genetic changes, such as RNA analysis as an output of gene expression , or through biochemical analysis to measure specific protein output.
