Modified Methylene Blue Reduction Technic

Methylene Blue Based Device for Pathogen Reduction in Human Plasma

Abstract Background Despite improvement in safety of plasma transfusion some virus transmission still remains a problem. So as World Health Organization (WHO) recommends, many countries developed Pathogen Reduction Technologies (PRT) to inactivate pathogens, in plasma components. The Methylene Blue (MB) based methods is one of the most universal one. The purpose of this research was, produce...

Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions using modified clay

Introduction: Discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. In this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMA-Mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). Materials and Methods: The influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adso...

Mechanism of the Electrocatalytic Reduction of Ferricyanide by Methylene Blue at DNA- Modified Electrode Surfaces

Methylene - Blue Modified Polypyrrole Film Electrode for Optoelectronic Applications

Organic semiconductors have been the objects of considerable attention in recent years, both as electrodes and photoelectrods in different applications. Radiation-induced and electrochemical modification of polypyrrole film by incorporating of large electro-active organic molecules is investigated in this paper. Introduction in the polypyrrole (PPy) of methylene blue as counterion has a strong ...

Reduction and uptake of methylene blue by human erythrocytes.

A thiazine dye reductase has been described in endothelial cells that reduces methylene blue (MB), allowing its uptake into cells. Because a different mechanism of MB uptake in human erythrocytes has been proposed, we measured MB uptake and reduction in this cell type. Oxidized MB (MB(+)) stimulated reduction of extracellular ferricyanide in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, reflectin...
