There is a penicillin G stock powder containing 1,000,000 units of penicillin and a streptomycin sulfate stock powder containing 25G of streptomycin. From this a 250mL stock solution needs to be made containing 5,000 units/mL of penicillin and 5,000 ug/mL of streptomycin. Can you explain how to calculate this? Please show detail, thank you.

A vial of Doxorubicin reads 0•5g per vial. Instructions say to reconstitute each 12mg with 2•5ml of NS. How many ml of NS will be needed to reconstitute the vial of the recommended concentration? please show working
You will be given 1 mL of a 2.0 mg/mL solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 1 mL of a 2.0 mg/mL solution of bovine gamma globulin (BGG). From these solutions, you will need to make 100 μL of each of the following standards using 1x MBP purification buffer as the diluent for preparation of a standard curve: 1000 μg/mL, 750 μg/mL, 500 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, 125 μg/mL, and 0 μg/mL.
You perform a Bradford assay to determine the concentration of isolated α-lactalbumin. You use 50 μL of a two-fold diluted solution of α-lactalbumin in the assay. You generate a standard curve with the following equation for the line: y = 0.163x + 0.082. The absorbance of your sample was 0.674 AU. What is the concentration of α-lactalbumin, in mg/mL, in your sample? Give your answer to three significant figures.
1) You have been asked to make up four 1.5% agarose gels at 30 ml each. Ethidium Bromide is to be added at 0.5 ug/ml and you have a bottle at 10ug/ml. Write down step-by-step protocol of how to proceed. 2. How would you make up one liter of 1X TAE buffer using a 25X stock?
You have an order for 1 gram of Cefazolin in D5W 100 ml. You have added 5 ml of sterile water to the 1 gram vial to reconstitute powder. However the recommended manufacturer’s diluent amount is 10 ml of sterile water for a final concentration of 100 mg/ml. How would reconstituting the vial with 5 mls affect the concentration and the final calculated dose. Please answer with explanation ASAP. I will really upvote. Thanks
Streptomycin sulfate 400 mg IM daily is ordered for a child weighing 77lbs. The recommended dosage is 20-40 mg/kg/day once daily. A 1 gram vial of streptomycin sulfate is available in powdered form with the following instructions: Dilution with 1.8 mL of sterile water will yield 400mg per mL. If safe, how many mLs will you give?
The A280 of a protein sample loaded onto a gel was determined to be 0.767 (1.00 cm path length, after subtracting the blank). The total volume of this sample was 428 µL. 19.0 µL of this protein sample was mixed with 19.0 µL of 2X laemalli sample buffer and then 12.0 µL of the entire sample was loaded into the gel and electrophoresed. Calculate the amount of protein that was loaded into the gel (in µg).
Paclitaxel is used to treat ovarian cancer by infusion at a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL over 24 hours. A dose of 135 mg/m² has been prescribed for Sero. Sero is 1.06 m tall and weighs 92 kg. Paclitaxel comes in vials of 150 mg/25 mL. Calculate the volume of 5%w/v glucose solution that would be required to dilute the concentrated solution to prepare an paclitaxel solution of the required strength.

I was trying to set this problem where the units cancel out. You are given ampicillin, with a recommended dose of 35 mg/kg , to a child with a mass of 21 kg. If stock on hand is 250 mg/ capsule, how many capsules should be given. How should I set this conversion problem up and it's also asking to express the number of capsules as an integer
In a mixture of five proteins listed, draw an elution profile (Absorbance vs. mL eluted, arbitrary) for the purification of the listed proteins on a gel filtration chromatography resin: cytochrome c (pI = 5.4; Mr = 13,000), immunoglobulin G (pI = 7.3; Mr = 145,000), ribonuclease A (pI = 9.6; Mr = 13,700), RNA polymerase (pI = 6.3; Mr = 450,000), human serum albumin (pI = 5.4; Mr = 68,500). Label your elution peaks. Draw a sketch of an SDS-PAGE, reflecting the mobility of the above mixture as they elute from the column. Label you protein bands.
