Loss of lipid to plastic tubing.
نویسنده
چکیده
14C-labeled oleic acid and (3)H-labeled monoether in a bile salt solution were perfused through three types of plastic tubing. Large proportions of lipid were lost to the walls of silicone rubber and polyvinyl chloride tubes. The major portion of the lipid lost was recoverable only when chloroform-methanol was perfused through the tubings. On the other hand, very little lipid was lost to the wall of polyethylene tubing. Polyethylene tubing should therefore be used in perfusion studies involving lipid-soluble compounds.

The use of plastic tubing in roller pumps.
If plastic tubing is to be used in roller pumps for propelling blood in extracorporeal circulations under occlusive conditions spring loading the rollers and accurately setting the spring force is essential. Various types and sizes of plastic tubing are compared and their performance estimated; rubber tubing used for the same purpose has been tested. The optimum spring force has been determined...
متن کاملThe lipid cubic phase or in meso method for crystallizing proteins. Bushings for better manual dispensing.
The lipid cubic phase or in meso method can be used to set up crystallization trials of soluble and membrane proteins. The cubic phase is noted for being a sticky and viscous mesophase. Dispensing the protein-laden mesophase by hand into wells on crystallization plates has been facilitated by the use of an inexpensive repeat dispenser. However, the assembled dispensing device is prone to damage...
متن کاملAnalysis of plastic residues in maple sap and syrup collected from tubing systems sanitized with isopropyl alcohol
A plastic tubing system operated under vacuum is usually used to collect sap from maple trees during spring time to produce maple syrup. This system is commonly sanitized with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove microbial contamination colonizing the system during the sugar season. Questions have been raised whether IPA would contribute to the leaching of plastic residues in maple sap and syrup c...
متن کاملPhthalate interference in gas-chromatographic determination of long-chain fatty acids in plasma.
Phthalates leached from plastic tubing or other plastic devices may interfere with gas-chromatographic determination of long-chain fatty acids in plasma. In the case of hospitalized patients who have received infusions or had blood drawn through plastic tubing, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry may be required for accurate determination of such fatty acids.
متن کاملA method for quick and simple construction of push-pull cannulae and their use in recovery of hippocampal amino acids.
Push-pull cannulae have been extensively employed for the in vivo perfusion of discrete brain regions and investigation of perfusate contents (Gaddum, 1961; Szerb, 1967; Yaksh and Yamamura, 1974; Errington et al., 1983). We wish to report a highly simplified and quick technique for the construction of push-pull cannulae. The outer barrel of the cannula consists of 24-gauge stainless-steel tubin...
