3-Methylindole (skatole) is a component of animal waste and is, consequently, a primary component in odor problems arising in livestock management, notably swine production. The ability to probe and to exploit the interactions of 3-methylindole with micelles has important implications for monitoring and controlling odor problems. The effect of a surfactant (Brij-35) on the fluorescence properti...

this study aims to investigate the capability of forming itraconazole containing niosomes with span 60 and brij 58 as non-ionic surfactants. lower cost and higher stability makes niosomes a more suitable choice in comparison with liposomes.the capability to form vesicles as an itraconazole delivery system and the influence of different factors such as type of surfactant and molar ratio of chole...

Title of dissertation: INTERFACIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR DROPLET PCR LAB-ON-CHIP DEVICES Kunal Ryan Pandit, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ian White Fischell Department of Bioengineering Professor Srinivasa Raghavan Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Lab-on-chip devices have the potential to decentralize the current model of diagnostics to point-of-ca...

Application of Sustainable analytical chemistry concepts has become crucial in order to remove the environmentally harmful impacts originating from routine use techniques. Here, a new LC method is developed and its parameters are analyzed, depending on mixed micellar mobile phase. This was primarily aimed at getting rid organic solvents conventional analyses. Combinations tazobactam (TZB) with ...

1. Trabeculae from the right ventricles of rat hearts were ;skinned' by immersion for 30 min in a solution containing the non-ionic detergent Brij-58 at a concentration of 1%.2. The average sarcomere length in the central region of the relaxed preparation was estimated by laser diffraction and set at pre-determined values within the range of 1.9-2.4 mum by adjustment of muscle length. Isometric...

Output peak distortion and noise are a problem in the AutoAnalyzer II (Technicon Instruments Corp., Tarrytown, N. Y. 10591) direct cholesterol procedure no. SE4-0026 FC4. We originally believed this difficulty to be inherent in the two-step sampling procedure used in this method, but we later observed sample diluent back-up into the bubbler tube of the original injector block, apparently becaus...

The mechanism of contraction in motile models of teleost retinal cones has been examined by using N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-modified myosin fragments (NEM-S-1 and NEM-heavy meromyosin [HMM]) to prevent access of native myosin to actin filaments during reactivation of contraction. In the diurnal light/dark cycle, retinal cones of green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) and bluegill (lepomis macrochirus) ...

In ion sensing applications, selective ion-receptor complexation is the molecular basis for endowing material with selectivity. this work, thin polymeric membrane-based transfer voltammetry used to investigate complexation, using a range of electrically neutral ionophores and surfactants as examples. Previous studies lacked convincing approach eliminate influence from transducing layer, resulti...
