Fluorometric imaging plate reader membrane potential dye (FMP-Red-Dye) is a proprietary tool for basic discovery and high-throughput drug screening for G-protein-coupled receptors and ion channels. We optimized and validated this potentiometric probe to assay functional modulators of heterologous expressed GABAA receptor (GABAAR) isoforms (synaptic α1β3γ2, extrasynaptic α4β3δ, and β3 homopentom...

Dye removal from industrial wastewater is an important environmental concern. So far, various physical and chemical treatment methods have been reviewed for the removal of dyes such as biological degradation, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, reverse osmosis, coagulation, flocculation, etc. However, these treatment processes have their limitations such as high cost, generation of toxic slud...

In this paper, the results of studies of the sorption activity of Salvadora Persica fine particles that were provided from internal natural resources at Iran, with respect to Crystal Violet, Basic Violet-16 and Basic Blue-41 dyes were presented. Thus, Salvadora Persica particles were modified and prepared via particle size decreasing and characterized by CHNS, XRD, SEM and FT-IR analysis. In th...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of main factors and interactions on the color removal performance from dye solutions using the electrocoagulation process enhanced by adsorption on Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). In this study, a mathematical approach was conducted using a two-level fractional factorial design (FFD) for a given dye solution. Three textile dyes: Acid Blue 74, ...

In this paper, a new method of measuring scalar behavior in bulk aqueous fluid flows is presented. Using a simple ratiometric scheme, laser induced fluorescence from organic dyes can be normalized so that direct measurements of a scalar in the flow are possible. The technique dual emission laser induced fluorescence (DELIF) relies on normalizing the fluorescence emission intensity of one dye wi...

The development and application of an immobilized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on calcium alginate gel beads are reported for the successful and effective decolorization textile industrial effluent. The optimal condition for the immobilization of HRP on calcium alginate gel beads which leads to a specific activity of 15 U/g calcium alginate was identified. Upon immobilization, considering enzym...

Abstract Aspergillus parasiticus (A. parasiticus) CBS 100926T was used as a biosorbent for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB), Congo Red (CR), Sudan Black (SB), Malachite Green Oxalate (MGO), Basic Fuchsin (BF) and Phenol (PR) from aqueous solutions. The batch biosorption studies were carried out function dye concentration contact time. process followed pseudo-first-order pseudo-second-order ki...

Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for the adsorption of cationic dye from aqueous solution onto composite activated carbon. The composite activated carbon was prepared from brewer’s spent grain and sea bean shell at a ratio of 1:1. The equilibrium studies were done at different concentrations and temperatures. The equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushk...
