SAFEETY MEASURES IN BIOCHEMISTRY LAB
General Safety measure1. Lab can be dangerous places in to work all uses to be aware of the potential
hazards and to know what to do process of emergency when starting work in anew lab is important to become familiar with the layout of the room andlocation of the safety equipments.
2. The portion of the emergency exists, fire alarm and extension should beknown, so that the appropriate action can be taken in the current of fire.
3. The main labs for gas, water and switch for electricity should also be locatedso that the serious can be turned off for on emergency.
Safety measures:1. Lab workers must know the meaning of safety signs. Some of these are in
plain English while others are in the form of pictograms. The signs have beenstandardized in any terms, lettering, diagram and colours so that they can berapidly identified.
Personal protection:
1. Gloves: Heavy gloves must be used when handling corrosive substances suchas strong acids and Alkalies. The hazardous nature of there substances isobvious but the danger inherent in skin contact with other chemicals are notalways clear. Light weight disposable gloves must be used during weighingand handling of chemicals to avoid the risk of absorption through the skin.
2. Protective clothing: Lab coats are not status symbols but are meant toprotect from chemical and infection material. Cotton Is a better material fora lab coat and nylon has a greater absorbing capacity and is generally mostresistant to chemicals. The standard open neck coat may be appropriate formost chemical works. But high necked coats are more suitable for work withanimals and potentially dangerous microbes.
3. Face masks: These are not always necessary but need to be work. There is arisk of dust from chemicals or from aerosols of microbes.
Dangers to avoid:
Poisoning often arises from the accidental transfer of a compound through themouth and their misle can be greatly reduced by always keeping three simple rulesin the lab.
1. No smoking
2. No eating or drinking
3. No mouth pipetting
First aid
First aid, the name implies the help given immediately to on injured person.It is not a substitute for a medical or hospital attention. The following short notes

are not a substitute for a proper course in first aid but should be of same help if youfind yourself dealing the subject of the lab accident.
Immediate assistance:
Artificial respiration:
a. The brain is unable to function for more than a few minutes, without oxygenand brain damage or death quickly follows.
b. If the casualty has stopped breathing artificial respiration must be started atonce.
c. It should be really applied by someone trained for this technique.
Unconscious:
a. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration immediately.
b. If the victim is breathing their lay him face down with his head on one side
and his arms and legs on that side in a bent position.c. This position makes it easier for the patient and proudest better circulation of
blood to all part of the body.
Burns:
1. If the causality is on fire, immediately to down the flame, wrap hern in a fireblanket.
2. Then cool the affected area by running water.
3. When acid burns occur in the lab, the suitable alkali must be applied gentlywith a solution of sodium bi carbonate.
4. When electric burns occur in the lab, switch off the current or if it is notpossible free the person using anything non conductive.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES
AIM:
To identify different carbohydrates in the given sample.
PRINCIPLE:
Qualitative test for carbohydrate classified into three category
(i)Those which are base reducing property aldehyde and keto group.
(ii)Those which are base are dehydration of hydroxyl group by strong acids andtreating the resultant furfural with various compounds to form colour compound.
(iii)Preparation of derivatives.
(i)Based on reducing properties:
Carbohydrate possessing a free or potentially free aldehyde or ketone groupsof the properties of readily reducing ion of certain metals such as copper ion
Bismuth, silver, mercury etc., Bismuth many test for sugar based on this properties.In the presence of reducing sugar the blue cupric hydroxide is reducing to insolubleyellow (or) red (or) green cuprous oxide. Large particles formed by slow reductionreaction and formed brick redwhereasvery small particles formed by fast reductionmay be formed greenish color. The amount of precipitate is not there color ofprimary consideration. Fehlings test, Benedicts test and Barfoeds test based onthis property. Benedicts is more stable than Fehlings. Barfoeds test is carried inthe slightly acidic state.
(ii)Test based on dehydration:
Stable in dilute acid but treat in strong acids resulting in the loss of water andthe formation of furfural (or) furfural derivatives.

ESTIMATION OF REDUCING SUGAR BY BENEDICTS
QUANTITATIVE REAGENT
AIM:
To estimate the amount of reducing sugar present in the given unknown sample by
Benedicts method.
PRINCIPLE:
Benedicts quantitative reagent is the modified form of qualitative reagent. It
consists of cupric sulphate, sodium carbonate and sodium citrate, potassium thiocyanate,
and potassium ferrocyanide. The alkali present in the Benedicts reagent enolises the sugar,
thereby causing them to be a strong reducing agent. Ferrocyanide serves to dissolve the
copper hydroxide while thiocyanate helps to convert the red cuprous oxide to whit crystals
of cuprous thiocyanate, which gives the clear end point.
REAGENTS REQUIRED
(i)Benedicts quantitative reagent (BQR)
(a)Cupric sulphate, (b) Sodium carbonate, (c) Sodium citrate, (d) Potassium
thiocyanate, (e) Potassium ferrocyanate.
(ii)Anhydrous sodium carbonate
(iii)Working standard glucose solution (100mg of glucose in 100 ml of distilled water)
(iv) Porcelain beads.
PROCEDURE:
Titration I: Standardisation of Benedicts Qualitative Reagent
Accurately pipette out 10 ml of Benedicts quantitative reagent into a clean conical flask.
One spatula full of 1 g of sodium carbonate was added into the conical flask. Few pieces of
porcelain beads were also added in order to avoid bumping. The contents were brought to
temperature approximately 60-700C. The contents were titrated against the standard
glucose solution with regular shaking until the blue colour disappeared. The end point is the
appearance of chalky white precipitate. The titrations were repeated for concordant values.
Titration II: Estimation of Glucose
The given unknown sample solution was made up to 100ml with distilled water in a standard
flask. It was shaken well for uniform concentration. The burette was filled with this
unknown solution and the titrations were performed as mentioned above till the appearance
of chalky white precipitate. The titrations were repeated for concordant values.

Calculation
Standardization of glucose:
---- ml of standard glucose is needed for reducing 10 ml of Benedicts quantitative reagent.
But 100mg of glucose is present in 100 ml of solution. Hence 1 ml contains 1mg of glucose.
But X ml of standard glucose is used up for the reduction of 10 ml of Benedicts reagent, so X
ml of standard glucose solution corresponds to X mg of glucose.
But,
During estimation of glucose present in unknown solution, Y ml of unknown glucose is used
up for the reduction of 10 ml of Benedicts quantitative reagent.
Hence X mg of glucose is present in Y ml of unknown sugar sample.
Hence,
100 of the unknown glucose solution contains = X mg x 100 ml

-
7/31/2019 TETRAS EDUCARE PLUS Biochemistry Lab Manual Edited
25/27
In any enzyme assay the rate of the reaction can be known by measuring the amount
of substrate that is utilized or amount of product that is formed in unit time. Amylase is a
hydrolytic enzyme which breaks down starch (polysaccharides) into smaller units called as
maltose. However, they can be converted to a colored product by specific chemical
reactions. Here maltose reacts with alkaline dinitrosalicylic acid to give a reddish orange or
orange color. The amount of maltose thus produced in unit time can be measured by using
a colorimeter at 520nm, which gives an idea about the enzyme activity.
Reagents required:
1. 0.1N phosphate buffer (pH 6.7)
2. Dinitro salicylic acid reagent (DNS reagent) : it was prepared by dissolving 1 gram of
3.5 dinitro salicylic acid, 30 grams of sodium potassium tartarate and 1.6 grams ofsodium hydroxide in distilled water and made up to 100 ml with the same.
3. Starch solution : it acts as a substrate. 0.5% starch solution was prepared by
weighing 1 gram of soluble starch in 200 ml of phosphate buffer.
4. 1% sodium chloride solution : 1 gram of sodium chloride in 100 ml of distilled water.
5. Enzyme solution : Dilute 1 ml of saliva with distilled water and make up the volume
to 20 ml. This gives 1:20 dilution of enzyme.
6. Standard maltose solution (1mg/ml): 100 mg or 0.1 gram of maltose was weighed
and dissolved in distilled water and final volume was made up to 100 ml by using
standard volumetric flask.
7. 2N Sodium hydroxide solution : act as a denaturing agent for enzyme. It was
prepared by dissolving 8 grams of sodium hydroxide pellets in 100 ml of distilled
water.
Procedure:
A. Prepartion of standard graph for maltose: Pipette out different aliquots (0.2 to
1.0ml) of standard maltose solution and make up the volume to 2 ml by using
distilled water. To this solution 2 ml of DNS reagent was added. The cocktail or
mixtures in the test tubes were kept in boiling water bath for about 10 minutes. The
tubes were cooled and the mixture was diluted by addition of 10 ml of distilled
water. The resultant reddish orange or orange color was read at 520 nm by using a
digital colorimeter. The blank was prepared in just the same way but by addition of
distilled water instead of maltose solution. Prepare the standard graph by plotting
the concentration of maltose on x axis and the optical density values on y axis.

B. Enzyme Assay:
For the enzyme assay 0.5 ml of 1: 20 diluted enzyme sample was taken. The
enzyme assay can be done by estimating the maltose produced by the enzyme. The
amylase enzymatic assay was performed as shown in tabular column 2.
