Fe3O4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (Fe3O4@NCSM) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (BTB) aqueous solution. The surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. The N2 Adso...

In this work, H3PW12O40 (PPT) and nano-sized titania supported on urea formaldehyde (UF) resinwas prepared via an impregnation method. The prepared sample was characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalyt...

Simple, rapid, and extractive spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination of gatifloxacin (GT) in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form. These methods are based on the formation of yellow ion-pair complexes between the basic nitrogen of the drug and three sulphonphthalein acid dyes, namely; bromocresol green (BCG), bromocresol purple (BCP), bromophenol blue (BPB) and bromothym...

A new plate method was developed for rapid screening of Ketogulonicigenium vulgare mutants overproducing 2-keto-l-gulonic acid (2-KLG). The screening methodology took the advantage of the acidity caused by 2-KLG, which changes the color of bromothymol blue (pH indicator) from blue to yellow. Using the proposed method, a mutant, K. vulgare 65, was selected from 20,000 colonies produced by a stra...

A simple extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of miconazole nitratein both pure and pharmaceutical preparation. The method is based on the formation of ion-pair complex of thedrug with acidic dye bromothymol blue (BTB) in acidic condition, followed by its extraction in organic solvent(chloroform). The absorbance was measured against the corresponding blank....

A new rapid and sensitive procedure assay is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of tianeptine. The developed method involves formation of colored chloroform extractable ion-pair complexes of tianeptine with bromophenol blue (BPB), bromocresol green (BCG), bromothymol blue (BTB) and methyl orange (MO) in acidic medium. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration ranges 3.0-12.0, 4.0...

A sensitive and efficient colorimetric method was optimized for detection of esterase enzymes produced by endophytic fungi for development of High-Throughput Screening (HTS). The fungi were isolated and obtained previously from plant species of Cerrado and Atlantic Forest located in areas of environmental preservation in the State of Sao Paulo / Brazil, as part of the project "Chemical and biol...

SIMPLE, RAPID, AND EXTRACTIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHODS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SOME FLUOROQUINOLONES ANTIBIOTICS: gemifloxacin mesylate (GMF), moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MXF), and enrofloxacin (ENF) in pure forms and pharmaceutical formulations. These methods are based on the formation of ion-pair complexes between the basic drugs and acid dyes, namely, bromocresol green (BCG...
