Glassware in Organic Chemistry There are standard pieces of glassware that are used in the organic chemistry lab. Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are typically used for simple mixing or to hold solvents but they should not be used to measure volume, unless only an approximate volume is needed. Glassware can be divided into the following categories: Volumetric Glassware – This includes glassware such as graduated cylinders, volumetric glass pipettes, and volumetric flasks. The purpose of these...

Circulating miRNA Extraction: A Method to Isolate miRNA from Plasma Samples Via Organic Extraction and Small RNA Enrichment
0 Views •
2023
This video describes the extraction of circulating microRNA from plasma samples of colorectal cancer patients using organic extraction followed by glass-fiber column enrichment. miRNAs are stable in biological fluids such as serum and plasma, which renders them ideal circulating biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision-making and monitoring. This method will help identify new circulating biomarkers capable of predicting clinical outcomes in patients.
FAQs
The sequence protects both the target specimen and nearby anatomy. Exposure first makes the relevant structures visible; separating supporting tissues clarifies the organ’s attachments; controlling vessels and ducts then limits unwanted tissue disruption during removal. This coordinated handling is important because the technique aims to obtain the organ or segment while limiting damage to neighboring structures and preserving its usefulness.
Preservation is selected according to what happens after removal. Tissue intended for transplantation requires conditions that support its planned clinical use, whereas material collected for pathology, diagnosis, or research may be handled to maintain features needed for examination or standardized study. Thus, preservation is not a fixed final step; it is linked to the purpose and expected evaluation of the specimen.
The operative priorities depend on whether the tissue will support treatment, transplantation, diagnostic evaluation, or research. Transplantation emphasizes obtaining a suitable organ for donation and subsequent clinical use. Pathological examination focuses on diseased tissue, while research may require standardized specimens. Recognizing the destination helps guide planning, tissue handling, and preservation without changing the need for precise removal.
A typical workflow begins with planning and exposure of the target anatomy. The operator then identifies the organ, separates its supporting tissues, and controls associated blood vessels and ducts before removing the organ or segment. After extraction, preservation is selected for the intended use. This sequence organizes the procedure around anatomical identification, controlled separation, careful removal, and specimen handling.
The choice depends on the clinical, diagnostic, or research objective. An intact organ can provide a complete specimen for transplantation, pathological examination, or broader anatomical study, whereas an organ segment may be appropriate when only a defined portion is needed. The overview supports both forms, with the selected extent determined by the intended treatment, evaluation, or investigation.
Careful handling improves the likelihood that the removed tissue remains suitable for its intended purpose. In transplantation, planning and controlled removal support clinical outcomes; in pathology and diagnosis, they help maintain a useful specimen for examination; in research, standardized handling improves specimen quality and comparability. These benefits depend on limiting unnecessary damage and matching preservation to the intended use.
