Glucose Coursework

Introduction:

In this experiment we will be testing fluids for glucose because a body fluid sample is detected at a scene of a crime and a sample taken using a cotton bud. The prime suspect is a diabetic so that is the reason why we are testing for glucose.

Planning:

The person who is the suspect is a diabetic. So a test using Benedict’s solution will be used for reducing glucose. There will be two tests. One of the tests will be using glucose mixed with glucose and the other test will be with a sample of body solution mixed with glucose. The sample of body solution will replace the Benedict’s solution.

Safety Points:

There are not really any safety points in this experiment because none of the materials used in this experiment were dangerous. You just had to make sure that you didn’t burn yourself when the Bunsen burner was on and let the test tubes and the tripod cool down before touching them and taking them out of the beaker.

Materials and Methods:  

The materials that we used in this experiment were:

  • Bunsen Burner
  • Test Tube
  • Test Tube Rack
  • Tripod
  • Gauze mat
  • Benedict’s solution
  • Glucose
  • Beaker
  • Pipette
  • Bench mat
  • Measuring Scale

This experiment took quite along time. Here is the method:

  1. First of all we got all of the equipment set out.

  1. Then we measured out 1 gram of glucose on a measuring scale.

  1. Then we put 99ml of water into a beaker.

  1. We then put 3cm3 of Benedict’s solution ...
