What is a Compound Microscope? 3D Model of Compound Microscope Working Principle of Compound Microscope Magnification Power of Compound Microscope The magnification power of compound microscope refers to ratio of size of final image to size of object seen by naked eye. It is obtained by multiplying magnification of objective lens and magnification of eyepiece … Read more
What is Pulsed-field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE)? Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is a method used for separation of very large DNA fragments by applying an electric field that periodically changes direction / switches among different electrodes, so that DNA pieces of differing sizes are reoriented and separated. (The technique allows resolution of DNA up to … Read more
Fluorescence Spectroscopy is an analytical method that studies the fluorescence emitted by a sample when it is excited by light (often UV or visible). Principle of Fluorescence Spectroscopy Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy in inorganic chemistry Special fluorimetric applications
What is a Water Bath? A Laboratory Water Bath can define as equipment used for maintaining constant temperature condition for samples during experiment or incubation process. It is basically consist of container filled with water, which heated to desired temperature and samples are placed inside for uniform heating purpose. The principle of operation based on … Read more
What is Laboratory Incubator? A Laboratory Incubator is described as a device that is used to grow and maintain microbial / cell cultures under controlled temperature, humidity, and gas conditions. The environment inside is usually kept stable, and temperature is controlled (often by thermostats/sensors), though fluctuations are caused by door openings. For mammalian cells, a … Read more
What is an autoclave? An autoclave is a device that is used for sterilization / disinfection by means of steam under pressure, and it is found in hospitals, labs, industry. Items are placed in a chamber where they are exposed to high-pressure saturated steam (commonly 121 °C for 15–20 minutes) so that microbes and spores … Read more
What is genetic variation? Genetic variation is the differences that are found in the DNA sequences among individuals of the same species. It’s what makes every organism a bit different from others even they belong to same population. Inside populations, variation is mostly caused by mutations, recombination / crossing over (during meiosis), and sometimes by … Read more
What is Artificial Selection? Artificial selection is a process by which humans are intentionally choosing certain organisms / traits for reproduction, it has been used for centuries actually even before the mechanism of genes was understood properly. In artificial selection, individuals that show desirable features (like color, yield, behavior etc.) are allowed to breed, while … Read more
DNA replication is the process by which genetic material is copied before cell division happens, it’s considered essential for inheritance. Among different models, the main ones observed are Theta model, Rolling Circle model, and Linear DNA replication. Each model are used by different organisms or DNA types (like plasmids, viruses, or eukaryotic chromosomes). The three … Read more

An codon chart is presented as a compact key, that maps three-nucleotide codons to amino acids, and it is usually shown as a table or circular map. In the chart, each codon is represented by three bases (A, U, G, C) and is read in the 5’→3’ direction, misreading the direction will alter meaning. Sixty-four … Read more
