In LBC Liquid-Based Cytology procedure, cells are collected from the cervix using a brush or spatula, similar to the traditional Pap smear. However, instead of smearing the cells directly onto a microscope slide
Throughout the trial samples remained in the laboratory at ambient temperature with the lids slightly ajar, and were stirred daily for 15–30 seconds using a sterile spatula. Sub-samples were tested on Days 0, 7 and 14. On Days 0 and 14 aerobic bacteria (by aerobic plate count (APC)),...
Since the dry weight of all samples was heavily dependent on the amount of soil beneath the biocrust, the response curves were related to mm rainfall equivalent (i.e. amount of water per surface area); however, these can easily be converted into water content based on the dry weight or ch...
(1) Agitate the lead acetate solution under cloth with a spatula. (2) Take a sample of appoximately 50 ml (marked V) in a graduated cylinder. (3) weigh a Millipore dry filter of porosity of 0.22 μm and diameter of 4.25 cm (moisture content known). ...
of the banded horned tree frog (Hemiphractus fasciatus) is triangular with hard bony hornlike processes above its eyes and near the rear of its skull. Likewise, the shovel-headed tree frog (Triprion spatulatus) has a wide skull that shields the rest of its body from attack, whereas ...
