Process the physical properties of a solution/reagent.
Process should include monitoring, adjusting, and maintaining the physical properties of a solution and/or reagent and includes the
- parameters of pH
- temperature
- specific gravity
- light exposure
- expiration
- other labeling requirements.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Will the physical parameters of a solution or reagent remain constant with storage? Why, or why not?
- How could changes in the physical properties of a solution affect research results?
- Where would the biomedical technician obtain information on proper storage conditions for a reagent or solution?
- Why should a reagent not be used after the expiration date?
- How would the biomedical technician monitor and adjust parameters for a specific solution or reagent?
