UV Light Irradiation of Plastic Reaction Tubes Inhibits PCR

Fabrication Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 Nanocomposites and Degradation of Rhodamine B Dyes under UV Light Irradiation

Recycling and reusing of catalyst is an important factor to produce capable and low cast catalysts. Silica coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4/SiO2) were synthesized via a simple sol-gel method with the aid of sonication. Fe3O4 nanoparticles. After that a layer of TiO2 was constricted by hydrolyze and condensation of Teteranormalbuthyltitanate to produce Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 nanocompsite. As-synthe...

Fe2V4O13 assisted hetero-Fenton mineralization of methyl orange under UV-A light irradiation

Fe2V4O13 is prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The hetero-Fenton catalyst can be used to mineralize Methyl Orange (MO) under UV-A light. The mineralization rate is influenced by hydr...

A method for nested PCR with single closed reaction tubes.

Toward the goal of reducing diagnostic false positives while retaining high sensitivity, a closed-tube nested PCR procedure has been developed for detecting low-copy-number human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gag target DNA sequences. Master mix for amplification 2, in a hanging gel matrix at the reaction tube top, remains sequestered from the reaction space of the tube during amplification 1. A...

Photochemical Reactions of Microcystin-LR Following Irradiation with UV Light

Photochemical reactions of microcystin-LR, a toxic compound produced by some blue green algae, were investigated. Ultraviolet absorption of microcystin-LR was assessed. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations indicated that absorption peak at 238 nm was mainly due to excitation of electrons from the linear chain structure Adda of microcystin-LR. Irradiation of microcystin-...
