The Difference Between Antibiotics and Antibacterial: Let us check it out difference between antibiotics and antibacterial, to know more about Antibiotics and Antibacterial. Difference Between: Antibiotics Antibiotics is the broad term, broader range of antimicrobial compounds which acts on bacteria, fungi and other compounds. Certain Antibiotics may also kills bacteria, Fungi and other parasites. Antibiotics is a chemical substance which kills and prevents the growth of the microorganisms by affecting the cell wall and cell structure of bacteria or fungi. Difference Between: Antibacterial Antibacterial is a types of antibiotics.  Chemical substances or anything that kills bacteria or prevents the growth of bacteria can be considered as antibacterial. All antibacterials are antibiotics but not all antibiotics are antibacterials.

Overview of the Difference Between Antibiotics and Antibodies. Let us find out difference between antibiotics and antibodies to know more about Antibody and Antibiotic. Difference Between: Antibiotic The chemical structure of antibiotic is different from antibody or antibodies. Antibiotics are either synthetic or  produced from plants or other microorganisms,  and they are purified to prevent infection caused by bacteria. Antibiotic attacks the cell wall and prevents the cellular functions of the bacteria. Antibiotic are like medicines that kills other bad cells in the body. Example ampicillin, penicillin. Difference Between: Antibodies The chemical structure of antibodies of antibody is made up op two large protein chains called heavy chains and two small protein chains called light chains which are bound to each other. Antibodies are produced naturally by an immune system in the body. Antibodies binds with the antigen found on the pathogens and prevent inf...

Overview of Difference Between Antibiotics and Antiseptics. Let us check it out difference between antibiotics and antiseptics to know more about Antibiotics and Antiseptics. Difference between: Antibiotics Antibiotics are the chemical substances which prevent growth and development of microorganisms by killing them. Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria. Antibiotics may be applied internally as well as externally. During surgical procedure to prevent infections, antibiotics are usually applied. Examples of antibiotics: penicillin, neomycin, streptomycin etc. Difference Between: Antiseptics Antiseptics also prevents the growth and development of microorganisms but not necessarily kills them. Antiseptics are effective against wide range of microorganisms. Antiseptics are applied externally. Antiseptics are generally applied on skin and wound surface for cleaning purpose and prevents further growth of microorganisms.  Examples of antiseptics: Hydrogen Pe...

Conductometry : Let us discuss advantages and disadvantages of Conductometry. This method is also called as conductometric titration method. Types, mobility, concentration of ions and temperature affects the electrochemical conductivity Some of the advantages of conductometry are as follows: In this method as coductance  is measured by conductivity meter , indicator is not required. Conductometric titration works for coloured solution. Accurate results can be obtained by conductometry. It is suitable for both weak base as well as weak acid. This method is also suitable for turbid solution. Some of the disadvantages of conductometry are as follows: Sometimes the salt level increases in the solution which masks the conductivity and do not gives accurate result. Sometimes high concentration of ions masks the conductivity and hence do not give accurate results.

Some applications of conductometry are discussed here, conductometry in analytical chemistry is used to measure the progress of chemical reactions. Conductometric titration is carried out in order to measure the  electrical conductivity of the reaction mixture. This type of titration gives a sharp end point for the colored solution. This type of titration is used to check water pollution in lakes as well as rivers. It is also used to check the alkalinity of the fresh water Salinity of the sea water can also be checked by this method. It is also used to trace antibiotics. Used for tracing microorganism in food microbiology To check the solubility of sparingly soluble salts. Purity of distilled water and de ionised water can determined.

Basic principle of FTIR Spectroscopy are as follows:- FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify the functional group which is present in certain molecules. FTIR is one of the widely used method which is also know as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. In this method of infrared spectroscopy , radiation (Infra red) is passed through the sample. Some of the radiation is absorbed by the sample while some of the radiation is transmitted. Now spectrum which is produced , represents molecular transmission and molecular absorption creating molecular fingerprint of a sample. The fingerprint region is unique for also samples, no two samples have same fingerprint region. The fingerprint region shows different absorption peaks with different vibration frequency between bonds of an atoms in the sample. Hence with this property unique molecule can be identified.

Advantages of FTIR are:- FTIR stands for Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy is highly sensitive and quick method to achieve high quality spectrum. This spectroscopy gives better signal to noise ratio compared to the dispersive instrument. With FTIR, spectrum can be obtained very quickly and saves time. Gases, solids as well as liquid can be analysed with FTIR. By using FTIR no external calibration is required and gives accurate results. FTIR is non-destructive technique. Organic compounds and Inorganic compounds can be identified easily using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical breakdown is less compared to other instruments because the mirror which is attached in the interferometer is the only moving part in FTIR. Simultaneous analysis can be done for multiple gaseous compounds. FTIR can identify even small concentrations of contaminants. FTIR has a laser beam which keeps the FTIR instrument accurately calibrated. It generally completes a scans with...
