Poliovirus-seeded tap water, conditioned with MgCl2 and passed through virus-adsorbing filters, gave better poliovirus recovery than water identically treated but conditioned with AlCl3. Elution of several filter types with beef extract yielded higher recoveries than did elution with glycine. Seeded samples filtered through various filters and stored showed considerable virus loss in 2 days whe...

A total of 97 anaerobic bacteria were tested for susceptibility to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid by broth microdilution and disk elution methods, the results of which were compared with those of the reference agar dilution method. With the broth microdilution method, approximately 95% of MICs were within 1 dilution of those of the reference agar method, with ...

A rapid and high resolution separation of lanthanides by HPLC technique has been developed using Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) coated reverse phase column and α-hydroxy isobutyric acid as the complexing reagent for elution. A gradient elution technique has been developed for achieving the separation of the entire lanthanide series. Isocratic elution procedure has also been developed...

This paper reports a gradient elution system for pressure-driven liquid chromatography (LC) on a chip. We have already reported the microfabrication of efficient pillar array columns with low dispersion turns. For faster and more efficient analysis, we fabricated a gradient elution system with a cross-Tesla mixer for the effective mixing of two solutions on a chip with a separation channel of p...

This study demonstrates that elution of enteroviruses from a mixture of primary- and activated-sludge solids with beef extract at pH 9.2 +/- 0.2 may be less efficient than elution with beef extract at pH 7.2 +/- 0.2 and that elution of enteroviruses from extended-aeration-sludge solids with beef extract is at best no more efficient at pH 9.2 +/- 0.2 than at pH 7.2 +/- 0.2. Thus, the common prac...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

Streptococcus pneumoniae contains many proteins that have not been evaluated as potential protective vaccine antigens. In this study we isolated proteins from a serotype 3 strain of S. pneumoniae for use in mouse immunisation studies. Separation of the protein mix was achieved by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis followed by electro-elution to isolate individual proteins. This procedure successfully sep...

this study aimed to determine the relationship between suturing and electro-cautery methods of post-tonsillectomy homeostasis in imam khomeini hospital- kermanshah. an analytical study was performed on admitted patient's profiles from 2002-2004. data collection sheet was applied to extract all variables. descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. during that period 915 ...

A rapid separation of the ten nuclearly-encoded subunits of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, and ten out of the eleven subunits of cytochrome bc1, was achieved using a short, 50 mm C18-reversed-phase column. The short column decreased the elution time 4-7 fold while maintaining the same resolution quality. Elution was similar to a previously published protocol, i.e., a water/acetonitrile elu...
