Biophysics - Laboratory Practice
What is needed to get the credits?
  • Attendance at all exercises.
  • Processed and accepted lab reports.
  • You are allowed to miss a maximum of two exercises in our subject. But in that case, a relevant excuse must be uploaded to the information system, and exercise compensation is expected (the form of exercise compensation arranged with the teacher).
1st exercise groups

In the first exercise, you will work in outlined groups and be prepared for the selected task.

GROUP 1:

Baccus, Nuzhah Bibi Aishah

Chakkor, Imrane

GROUP 2:

Mehdiyev, Murad

Melachris, Efthymios

Will do Task No. 1.

A) Determination of glucose concentration by polarimetry

B) Refractometry

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

GROUP 3:

Nadali, Mohammad Mahdi

Parpanchi, Negar

GROUP 4:

Ramezani, Ali 

Sadatshokouhi, Seyedehtaraneh

Samaei, Omidreza

Will do Task No. 2.

A) Potentiometric determination of dissociation constants

B) Buffer capacity

Preparation for the lab exercise
According to syllabus, you are supposed to read relevant manual at home to be prepared for exercise and do calculations for the preparation of solutions and so on to speed up work in the lab.
Lab reports
You will submit the lab reports (one per group) to the Homework Vault (to the appropriate folder according to the date of the exercise – you can also find the link in the interactive syllabus below). Please, always submit the first version of the lab report within 2 weeks from the exercise date!!!

Use the MS Word format for the document. Any other formats (pdf and others) wont be accepted.

I will then check it out and upload the commented lab report back to the homework vault, into a new folder, named according to your original file. If the lab report correction is required, always send the corrected version within one week after receiving the commented protocol. Please add a suffix stating the number of correction.


SYLLABUS

Task No. 1.

A) Determination of glucose concentration by polarimetry

B) Refractometry


Task No. 2. 

A) Potentiometric determination of dissociation constants

B) Buffer capacity


Task No. 3.         

A) Determination of the viscosity


Task No. 4.        

A) Determination of the critical micelle concentration

B) Water quality determination by conductivity measurement


Task No. 5.

B) Measurement of body temperature

C) Determination of the dissolution rate


Task No. 6.         

Adsorption on activated charcoal


You will already know the task number for your group (according to the table below), so you will be supposed to read the relevant manual at home to be ready for the exercise (or you can even do calculations for the preparation of solutions and so on to speed up work in the lab).


Electronic devices in labs

Dear students

there is an ongoing increase in students using miscellaneous electronic devices (tablets, pads, NTBs, and so on) to write down the data measured at practice instead of pen and paper. 

Since I am not able and/or willing to vouch for their safety in the labs (and half of you can´t use them, so they are actually helpful and speed up the work anyway), USE OF SUCH DEVICES IS FORBIDDEN IN PRACTICAL CLASS!!!

Anybody can write down a few values. Even practice manuals are handed out in printed form, so you don't need to look those up electronically in labs (not to mention, you should acquaint yourselves with respective manuals up-front)
