Conclusion Based on Statistical Analysis Optional Slide
Future Improvements / Changes
• Test more discs for each of the hand
sanitizers being tested. (≥ 30 discs)
• Perform more trials (3 – 10 trials)
• Use a different protocol for determining the
ability of hand sanitizers to inhibit bacterial
proliferation.
• Purchase a greater number of hand sanitizers
Future Experiments / Extensions
•
Design an experiment in order to determine the effect of
hand sanitizers on a variety of different types of bacteria.
•
Perform an experiment in order to determine the ability of
natural herbs and spices to inhibit bacterial proliferation.
•
Design and perform an experiment in order to determine
whether bacteria will develop a resistance to various
antibacterial chemicals.
•
Perform an experiment in order to test the ability of
different types of anti bacterial hand soaps to inhibit
bacterial proliferation.
•
Design and perform a similar experiment with hand soap
Real Life Applications
• The results obtained from my experiment could be
used by cafeterias, restaurants, and hospitals to
purchase the least expensive but most effective
hand sanitizer.
• The results obtained from my experiment could
assist my family to purchase the least expensive
and most effective hand sanitizer for home use.
• This information could assist retailers in
determining the most effective hand sanitizer to
purchase for the least cost.

Gram Staining Procedure
Procedure:
A. Slant Cultures
1. Prepare and heat-fix smears.
2. Prepare the smears of S. epidermidis and N. sicca on a
second slide. Heat-fix.
3. Stain the slides as follows:
a. Flood the crystal violet for one minute.
b. Pour off excess dye and wash gently in tap water and drain
the slide against a paper towel.
c. Expose the smears to Gram's iodine for one minute by
washing with iodine, then adding more iodine and leaving it
on the smear until the minute is over.
d. Wash with tap water and drain carefully. (Do not blot.)
e. Wash with 95% alcohol for 30 seconds.
f. Wash with tap water at the end of the 30 seconds to stop
the decolorization. Drain.
g. Counterstain with 0.25% safranin for 30 seconds.
h. Wash, drain, blot, and examine under oil.
i. Draw the cells showing morphology, grouping, and relative
sizes. Color a few of the cells of each bacterial species to
show the Gram reaction.
j. Save these slides and the ones from parts B & C of this
exercise to use at the next lab period.
