Medical Biology Lab 22: Survival of the Fittest - Consumable Durable White Blood Cell test strips

White Blood Cell test strips

In this lab students will create gas in two different ways

Students will use animal blood purchased from a butcher source to observe the effects of tonicity on red blood cells

The Consumable Kit is to implement the Health and Science Pipeline Initiative (HASPI) curriculum for 40 students

Students will also learn that a buffer system is actually a complex change in equilibrium

Survival of the Fittest: HIV Immunity Students will be given a numbered vial and exchange fluids with 5 other students in the class. One vial will contain sodium hydroxide that is not visible and acts as simulated HIV. This will be followed by a simulated HIV test in which the students will use a drop of phenolphthalein, and any vials that have had sodium hydroxide transferred to them will turn pink indicating contamination with HIV.
