The early and accurate diagnosis of the mucopolysaccharidoses remains a problem for the clinical laboratory. Reported here is the systematic compari­ son of the ability of three common glycosaminoglycanuria screening proce­ dure (the Berry spot test, the AMES MPS® spot test, and the gross acid albumin turbidity test) to detect the mucopolysaccharidoses. These tests were run on random urine samp...

Additively manufactured (AM) supercapacitor platforms are fabricated from bespoke filaments, which comprised of electro-conductive graphene (20 wt%) incorporated polylactic acid (80 wt%), via fused deposition modeling and denoted as G/AMEs. The G/AMEs shown to be capable acting a template for the electrodeposition metals/metal oxides, in particular MoO2 nanowires (MoO2-G/AMEs), subsequently exp...

Waterpipe smoking has become a global youth trend especially in the Middle East countries and Iran . The aim of this study was to determine the mutagenic effects of three most popular flavored tobaccos by four different salmonella typhimurium strains and compare the possible mutagenic effects of the test samples. Ames mutagenicity assessment was conducted according to the OECD guideline using T...

A statistical characterization of negative control data in the Ames Salmonella/microsome reverse mutation test was performed using data obtained at Takeda Analytical Research Laboratories during January 1989 to April 1990. The lot-to-lot variability of bacterial stock cultures and day-to-day variability of experiments were small for Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherich...

Stilbenes are secondary metabolites of great interest produced by many plant species due to their important bioactive properties. These phytochemicals have become increasing in the wine industry as a natural alternative sulphur dioxide, which has been associated with human health risks. However, there is still little toxicological information on stilbenes and results thus far contradictory. Con...
