We have synthesized a set of four energy transfer dyes and demonstrated their use in automated DNA sequencing. The donor dyes are the 5- or 6-carboxy isomers of 4'-aminomethylfluorescein and the acceptor dyes are a novel set of four 4,7-dichloro-substituted rhodamine dyes which have narrower emission spectra than the standard, unsubstituted rhodamines. A rigid amino acid linker, 4-aminomethylbe...

An anaerobic sludge (AS), capable of decolorizing a variety of synthetic dyes, was acclimated and is reported here. The sludge presented a much better dye decolorizing ability than that of different individual strains. A broad spectrum of dyes could be decolorized by the sludge. Continuous decolorization tests showed that the sludge exhibited the ability to decolorize repeated additions of dye....

The present work describes the development of a voltammetric sensor for the selective determination of Acid Green 25 (AG25) hair dye, widely used in commercial temporary hair dyes. The method is based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes activated in the presence of sulfuric acid, where the anthraquinone group present as a chromophore in the dye molecule is re...

We have developed a new method for accurate quantification of dead microbial cells. This technique employs the simultaneous use of fluorescent hydrazides and nucleic acid dyes. Fluorescent hydrazides allow detection of cells that cannot be detected with currently used high-affinity nucleic acid dyes. This is particularly important for nongrowing bacterial populations and for multicellular commu...

fertilizer plant waste carbon slurry has been investigated after some processing as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes and phenols using columns. the results show that the carbonaceous adsorbent prepared from carbon slurry being porous and having appreciable surface area (380 m2/g) can remove dyes both cationic (meldola blue, methylene blue, chrysoidine g, crystal violet) as well as anionic (...

The effect of anchoring groups on the optical and electrochemical properties of triphenylamine-thienothiophenes, and on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs photosensitized with the prepared dyes, was studied using newly synthesized compounds with cyanoacetic acid or rhodanine-3-acetic acid groups. Precursor aldehydes were synthesized through Suzuki cross-coupling, whereas Knoevenagel condensa...

Fluorescent dyes emitting red light are frequently used in conventional and super-resolution microscopy of biological samples, although the variety of the useful dyes is limited. We describe the synthesis of rhodamine-based fluorescent dyes with absorption and emission maxima in the range of 621-637 and 644-660 nm, respectively and demonstrate their high performance in confocal and stimulated e...

Global water pollution by organic dyes and metals may be solved adsorption. In particular, hydrogel adsorbents display unique advantages due to their three-dimensional porous structure. Here, a new type of self-healing hydrogels based on boronate amide bonds were prepared. The precursor polymer, 2-aminophenylboronic acid-modified polyacrylic acid (PAA-2APBA), was firstly synthesized amidation, ...

Azo dyes are widely used colorants in consumer products such as leather, textiles, agriculture, cosmetics and in laboratories as indicators. This paper describes the synthesis of some novel azo dyes starting from 3-nitro salicylic acid. The synthesized dyes were investigated for their redox potentials, evaluated for their dying ability on cotton fabrics, resistivity against the fungi growth on ...
