A procedural modification of the AOAC Official Method for extracting light filth from ground oregano and ground marjoram was tested in an intralaboratory study. The modified method specifies isopropanol defatting, 975.49A(a), rather than chloroform-isopropanol defatting, 975.49A(b), followed by direct flotation as directed in AOAC Official Method, 975.49B(b). The modified method provided compar...

II The last reaction investigated in this work was the oxidation of isopropanol. In this case a model was proposed based on three main reactions: Electrochemical IrO2 oxidation to IrO3, chemical oxidation of isopropanol via IrO3, and chemical decomposition of IrO3 to IrO2. The effectiveness factor, for the electrochemical reaction seemed not to correlate with the loading, whereas for the chemic...

The complete oxidation of isopropanol in its liquid phase at a low temperature was studied the presence zinc oxide (ZnO). This solid prepared with precipitation method. Structural analysis (infrared Fourier transform and diffraction X-rays) textured (adsorption/desorption N2) were conducted for wurtzite structure results, an IV type isotherm H3 hysteresis. presents good catalytic activity again...

State markers of alcoholism can be divided into (1) the indicators connected directly to ethanol metabolism and the substances involved in or by ethanol metabolism, and (2) the indicators that are not associated with actual blood alcohol concentrations, such as GGT, CDT, or MCV. Methanol, acetone, and isopropanol belong to the first group. These substances were detected and proposed as alcoholi...

In Australia, it is a requirement of workplace oral fluid (OF) drugs of abuse testing that drug recovery from collection devices be verified by an accredited laboratory. Recovery data are used in conjunction with collection volume imprecision data and uncertainty of measurement to provide an estimation of drug concentration in neat OF. The manufacturer's product information for the DCD5000 coll...

During a search for a sporicidal agent to equal or surpass formaldehyde in activity, a group of saturated dialdehydes ranging from two to six carbons was discovered. These dialdehydes exerted a surprisingly high degree of activity in isopropanol buffered with a carbonate or bicarbonate. Without the proper buffer, practically no activity was observed. A solution of 1% glutaraldehyde, 0.3% NaHCO(...

Pïcosecond time dependent fluorescente depolarization has been used to measure the rotational diff=sion time of 3,3’iliethyloxadicarjocyanine iodide (DODCI) in solution at 293 K: the stable form of DODCI was shown to have a “coiled” form, the cis,&-1 ,%conformation, whereas the photoisomer formed bu tiradiating DODCI in solution was shown to be tbe elongated all-trnrzs-isomer. The stable form h...
