Aim Transfer of microbial cells from a parent culture medium to a fresh broth culture. Principle The broth is a liquid medium, which is used to grown microorganisms within the laboratory on a small scale. It also used in an industrial fermentor on a large scale. The media called broths, milks, or nutrient solutions are … Read more
Streak Plate Method Overview There are two types of microbial culture such as mixed culture and pure culture. The mixed culture contains two or more species while the pure culture contains only a single species. During the identification of a microorganism, the first and important step is to isolate the individual species from a mixed … Read more

The White Blood Cells (WBCs) also known as Leucocytes are round nucleated cells in blood, that provide protection against foreign invaders. There are many types of White Blood cells found in blood, and identified as Granulocytes (Neutrophils, Eosinophils & Basophils) and Agranulocytes (Monocytes and Lymphocytes). The size of White Blood Cells can vary between 10 … Read more

What is Reticulocytes? Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells (erythrocytes) that have not yet completed the final stages of maturation. They are usually produced in the bone marrow and have a characteristic reticulated (network-like) appearance when stained with special dyes. Reticulocytes are important in the evaluation of anemia, as they provide information about the bone … Read more
Haemocytometry is a quantitative method that quantifies the RBC count in blood samples. The manual method of counting RBCs is the Haemocytometer (or Neubauer’s chamber slides). Modern devices, such as photometric and electrometric counters, can be more precise or automated. They can count the cells in the blood sample. It is impossible to count the … Read more
Hemoglobin, often abbreviated as Hb, is a vital protein found in red blood cells (RBCs). Its primary role in the human body includes the transport of oxygen from the lungs to various tissues and the transfer of carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. Additionally, hemoglobin plays a significant role in maintaining the pH … Read more
