Preparation of solid and liquid media for isolation of microorganisms

Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi require specific nutrients and environmental conditions to grow, which are provided through culture media. Culture media can be liquid (broth) or solid (agar-based). Solid media help in isolating and observing colony morphology, while liquid media are used for growing large volumes of microbial cells or for specific biochemical tests.

Isolation, Purification, and Culture Methods of Microbes

Isolation, Purification, and Culture Methods of Microbes is important foundational technique in microbiology. These techniques allow us to study microbes in pure form, essential for diagnostics, research, and industrial applications. Isolation separates a specific microbe from a mixed population; purification ensures the culture is free from contaminants; and culture methods enable the growth and study

Antibody based diagnosis methods, application and limitation

Antibody-based diagnosis refers to diagnostic methods that utilize antibodies to detect the presence of specific pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi) or abnormal biomarkers (such as proteins or other molecules) in a patient’s biological samples (e.g., blood, urine, saliva, or tissue). These diagnostic techniques utilize the specific binding capabilities of antibodies to their target

Cryopreservation Principles, process steps for Animal Cells

Introduction to Cryopreservation Cryopreservation is a vital technique in cell biology, aimed at preserving animal cells by freezing them at cryogenic temperatures to maintain their viability over extended periods. This method is essential for applications in research, medicine, and biotechnology, such as storing cell lines for experiments, supporting regenerative medicine, and facilitating organ transplantation.
