Starch is a substance common to most plant cells and so a weak iodine solution will stain starch present in the cells. Iodine is one component in the staining technique known as Gram staining, used in microbiology. Used as a mordant in Gram's staining, iodine enhances the entrance of the dye through the pores present in the cell wall/membrane.
Blood is composed of liquid plasma and serum with solid components consisting of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (), and platelets (thrombocytes). [4]To detect blood at a crime scene or in the laboratory, an array of tests can be used.
The cut surface of an apple stained with iodine, indicating a starch level of 4–5. The iodine–starch test is a chemical reaction that is used to test for the presence of starch or for iodine. The combination of starch and iodine is intensely blue-black. [1] [2] The interaction between starch and the triiodide anion (I − 3) is the basis ...
The Minor test (also known as Minor's test, the starch–iodine test, and the iodine–starch test), described by Victor Minor in 1928, [1] is a qualitative medical test that is used to evaluate sudomotor function (perspiration or sweating).
An inexpensive, non-toxic example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g., cornstarch/cornflour) in water, sometimes called "oobleck", "ooze", or "magic mud" (1 part of water to 1.5–2 parts of corn starch). [22] [23] [24] The name "oobleck" is derived from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. [22]
Upstate poison center urges caution: Exposure to liquid in home COVID-19 test kits could be hazardous, depending on the kit Upstate poison center: More than a dozen calls about exposure to liquid ...
Syneresis (also spelled 'synæresis' or 'synaeresis'), in chemistry, is the extraction or expulsion of a liquid from a gel, such as when serum drains from a contracting clot of blood. Another example of syneresis is the collection of whey on the surface of yogurt .
Liquid-based cytology is a method of preparing samples for examination in cytopathology. The sample is collected, normally by a small brush, in the same way as for a conventional smear test , but rather than the smear being transferred directly to a microscope slide , the sample is deposited into a small bottle of preservative liquid.
