Abstract

The practicum was conducted at the Regional Standards and Testing Laboratory, DOST IV – A, Barangay Timugan, Los Baños, Laguna from January to April 2013 for a period of 150 hours. The trainee spent her first 75 hours in Chemistry Laboratory and the other 75 hours in the Microbiology Laboratory. In Chemistry Laboratory, the trainee assisted in performing different chemical analysis of water and wastewater such as the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), chromium (VI) analysis, sulfate analysis and pH determination. In Microbiology Laboratory, the trainee assisted in the media preparation and performing different microbiological analysis of water and food such as the bacteriological test, detection and enumeration of microorganisms present. The trainee was able to familiarize on how procedures and techniques are done, and how the equipment that are new to the trainee’s eyes are used in both laboratories. The trainee had also experienced the feeling of working and socializing with actual professionals. Through the practicum, the trainee was able to realize how hard would be her future line of work but was able to appreciate and enjoy the whole process. All the things the trainee had learned from this experience will be of great help for her future work.
