Exercise # 1
Aseptic Technique
Plugging and wrapping
Glasswares for sterilization

1.What microbial principle does plugging and wrapping exemplify?


Microbial principle does plugging and wrapping exemplify that if it is not done properly
it can cause laboratory injuries and work-related infections, also to reduce contamination of
laboratory equipments, preserves the contents of the flask from contamination and also safety
during experiments.
2.What help can paper plugging and wrapping offer for sterilization?
Paper plugging and wrapping offer for sterilization could help in eliminating or reducing
the interaction of the inside environment of the glasswares with that of the outside
environment, eliminate contamination caused by the microorganisms and foreign materials
that are suspended in the air and help in preventing any damage on the glasswares
3.Make a list of equipments that can be useful in a ordinary microbiology laboratory and list
their uses.
Aseptic hood - lessens contamination while working with certain experiments especially those
microorganisms found or suspended in air
Autoclave - for sterilization
Centrifuge - separation and settling down
Incubator - setting an optimum temperature for microbial growth
Mechanical shaker - introduction of air

pH meter - monitoring pH for growth


Refrigerator - preserving laboratory media
Spectrophotometer - used in monitoring concentration for the presence of microbial growth
4. Do you think its possible to improvise equipment or simple lab gadgets in a microbiology
laboratory?
Yes, it is possible to improvise equipments or simple lab. gadgets in microbiology
laboratory just like what we had performed her in our first laboratory. However, proper care is
still needed since you are working in an easily contaminated area, i.e. air, soil etc.
