This video surveys examples of life science-related training provided by NC Community Colleges for local employers, and how that training supports North Carolina's position as a leading life science industry hub.…
A chef’s dreams are ruined when a sudden outbreak occurs onboard a cruise ship. What, or who is the source of the illness? Students hone their critical-thinking skills and analyze samples through hands-on activities to…
Are you interested in STEM but don’t like the idea of working in a lab all day? Then, perhaps a career in water quality is for you! Water quality is a term that is used to describe the condition of water for a…
This lab will give you a chance to practice working with an analytical balance. You will weigh four items and then analyze the findings to calculate the linear error for the balance.
A balance calibrated at zero grams and 100 grams should give accurate readings at those extremes and also at 35 g, 50 g, or any other point in between. Linearity error can cause a balance to be less accurate in one part…
The "Experiments in Biotechnology" video series is a production of NCCCS BioNetwork in partnership with Haywood and Western Piedmont Community Colleges and features demonstrations of 8 laboratory experiments.
A pH meter must be calibrated before each use to ensure accurate measurements. In this video, our lab technician demonstrates the procedure for performing a 3 point calibration using standard buffer solutions of 4.00, 7…
