Get started by going to the Biol 130L Research Guide which will give you information on writing a lab report and also includes a contact form you can use to get in touch with the Biology librarian. You can also contact Ask Us.

Search strategies

  1. Try variations on test names: For example for Biuret’s Test try: biuret reaction; biuret’s test; biuret’s reagent; biuret’s method.   Phrase –search “biuret’s method” “biuret reaction” singular/possessive : biuret or biuret’s

  2. Searching PubMed MeSH will give a focused result list. Note the links on right side of a record.

  3. Locate the original method paper in Scopus or Web of Science and check the cited references for newer work. 1900/ 1940’s

  4. Tests used are colorimetric (based on changes in colour). Students could look up the pros/cons of colorimetric tests for identification.
