a kinetic spectrophotometric method for rapid measurement of thiocyanate in serum, urine and sewage water with no need for removed of interfering substances in described. the method is based on the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on the oxidation of pyrogallol red by bromated and nitrite which is monitored at 467 nm. the variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated and the op...

A sensitive and selective procedure is presented for the voltammetric determination of cobalt. The procedure involves an adsorptive accumulation of cobalt Pyrogallol Red (PGR) complex on a stationary mercury drop electrode, followed by cathodic stripping voltammetry measurement of the reduction current of the adsorbed complex at –1.17 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The optimum conditions for the determinatio...

The measurement of urinary total protein continues to have a place in the repertoire of clinical laboratory tests, particularly in the clinical assessment of patients with renal disease. Although the test volume is often modest, there exists the need to perform the assay on the major automated chemistry analyzers currently in use in most hospital laboratories. We have evaluated the performance ...

sodium oxalate without SDS) by varying the concentration of the dye (0.03 or 0.12 mmol/L), sodium oxalate (0 or 2 mmol/L), and SDS (25 or 100 mg/L) in all combinations. For protein assays, we mixed 20 ␮L of sample, calibrator, or water (blank) with 1 mL of PRM reagent and measured the absorbance at 600 nm after 30 min against the blank. The effects of the aminoglycosides on the absorbance readi...

A simple and reliable method for precipitating protein from bacterial culture supernatants based on a pyrogallol red-molybdate-methanol (PRMM) protocol has been developed and applied for the analysis of proteins secreted by a bacterial type III secretion system. PRMM-based precipitation has been shown to be more efficient and robust than are conventional protocols.

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is used to define the lowest at which a substance can inhibit bacterial growth. This study aimed evaluate MIC of pyrogallol against Staphylococcus aureus and propose method for building growth inhibition curves strains from assays. S. 1199B (NorA) 1199 (wild type) were Pyrogallol tests performed by broth microdilution method. proposed uses RGB images p...

Objective: To induce immunosuppression in rats by pyrogallol and to develop a novel model to screen the immunomodulatory activity of a known agent. Material and Methods: In order to induce immunosuppression, pyrogallol was daily administered to rats for 7 days in different doses (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p.). On Day 7 and 13, the rats were sensitized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) to asse...

Pine, grape and witch hazel byproducts are rich sources of polyphenols. From extracts (OW) soluble in both ethyl acetate and water we have generated a collection of fractions differing in percentage of pyrogallol groups. The mixtures were highly active as free radical scavengers against DPPH. The phenolics protected red blood cells from free radical induced hemolysis and were mildly cytotoxic t...
