Tri-Butoxyethyl Phosphate as a Contaminant in B-D Vacutainers

A tri state mechanism for oxygen release in fish hemoglobin: Using Barbus sharpeyi as a model

Hemoglobin is a porphyrin containing protein with an a2b2 tetrameric structure and like other porphyrin compounds shows spectral behavior of species specific characteristics. Researchers tend to relate bands in the hemoglobin spectra to certain structural and/or functional features. Given the fact that hemoglobin is the main oxygen carrier in animals functioning through the Oxy«Deoxy equilibriu...

Multigenerational Effects of the Flame Retardant Tris (2-butoxyethyl) Phosphate (tboep) in Daphnia Magna

Introduction Tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBOEP) is a non-halogenated alternative organophosphorus flame retardant (OPFR) used as a substitute for phased-out brominated flamed retardants (BFRs). Because of its high production volume and its use in a broad range of applications, this chemical is one of the predominant OPFRs found in the environment and it has been detected in air, water and b...

On the relations between ELECTRE TRI-B and ELECTRE TRI-C and on a new variant of ELECTRE TRI-B

ELECTRE TRI is a set of methods designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced method uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two methods. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one method can also be obtained with the other method, after a suitabl...

[A case of tri-ortho-cresyl-phosphate poisoning].

A robust method to quantify low molecular weight contaminants in heparin: detection of tris(2-n-butoxyethyl) phosphate.

Recently, oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS) was identified in contaminated heparin preparations, which were linked to several adverse clinical events and deaths. Orthogonal analytical techniques, namely nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), have since been applied by several authors for the evaluation of heparin purity and safety. NMR identification and quan...
