The thin film PVA - bromocresol green dosimeter

Measurement of serum albumin by capillary zone electrophoresis, bromocresol green, bromocresol purple, and immunoassay methods.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The introduction of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to this laboratory has highlighted discrepancies in albumin measured on an Abbott Aeroset by bromocresol green (BCG) and that calculated by CZE on the basis of total protein measured by Biuret. METHODS This study examined differences in albumin estimation by CZE, Abbott Aeroset BCG, and Aeroset bromocresol purple (BCP), ...

Potential of phenothiazine as a thin film dosimeter for UVA exposures.

The research reported in this paper on the changes in absorbance and the calibration of a proposed UVA (320-400 nm) dosimeter have established the phenothiazine-mylar combination as a potential UVA dosimeter for population studies of UVA exposures. The change in optical absorbance at 370 nm was employed to quantify the UVA exposures. This change starts to saturate at a change in absorbance of a...

Small field size dose-profile measurements using MAGIC- f polymer gel dosimeter and EBT3 film dosimeter

Introduction: In radiotherapy, treatment planning methods are evaluating and transforming every day, so precision in calculation and determination of dose delivery process is performing more important role in radiotherapy than past. In modern radiotherapy treatments, deramatically increase of small fields utilization, causes the polymeric gels has known as the most reliable dos...

Fluorescent detection of an anthrax biomarker based on PVA film.

Due to the dangerous nature of anthrax, the development of a cost-effective, sensitive and field-portable sensor for the anthrax biomarker--calcium dipicolinate (CaDPA)--is of exceptional significance for both military and civilian use. Herein, a flexible polymer-film-based ratiometric sensor for detecting CaDPA was demonstrated. A reference dye and a probe ligand were covalently immobilized on...
