[USS Charon] SD241102.16, Science Report - Pre lab Report, Ensign Maria Blande - Chief Biologist (NPC)

ON:
 
study request form:
Name and rank:  Ensign Maria Blande
Position: Chief Biologist
Department: Biology, Science

I.                    Pre Lab report
Purpose: To issolate toxin and find anti-toxin for the deadly Basil-like Groutanni herb, which is a delicacy for local Groutanni civilization and poisonous to Humans.  The plant remains a cultural requirement of bonding which several ambassadors must consume at next diplomatic gathering.  Currently no Humans Ambassadors have been able to attend the confrence making Earth seem like an unwilling part of the federation-Groutanni trade treaties.

Materials: Measuring  Beaker, Heating device, sensory device, Groutanni herb samples, splicing knives, grinding stone, cruible, bunsen burner, extraction hose, extracter, pure water, acidity meter, and scanning table, heating hood, and protective gloves, goggles, and protective breathing masks 
 
Method/Procedure: herb will be spliced for chlorafil measurement, grinded for oil attainment, boiled for minneral extraction, and then scanned for chemical make up.  In addition the acidity of the differing plant study will be taken from oil and mineral extraction.  Included in the research will be a computer study for neutralization.  All data collected will be sent to medical and food preperation of which a second edible meal item can be found to be eaten at the pot luck dinner on Groutanni IV.  Another sample will be combusted for calorie content of one leaf.

II.                  Safety/Hazard Report

Hazard 1:  Poisionous herb

               Preventative action: wear protective gear, do not allow contact with herb, do not consume herb, do not inhale fumes of combusted herb.

Hazard 2: open flame and heating plate

               Preventative action:  use care when heating and combusting

Hazard 3: Breakable Glass ware

              Preventative action: use care while handling.
