Behavior of the Serum proteins in starch-agar-gel electrophoresis

Wetting dynamics of colloidal dispersions on agar gel surfaces.

The effects of silica particle addition on the wetting velocity on flat and fractal agar gel surfaces were analyzed along with the applicability of such particles for controlling the wetting dynamics of water. The contact angles (θD) of the colloidal dispersions obeyed the power law, i.e., θD∝t(-x), where t is time and x is a constant. Wetting was inhibited by the addition of a suitable amount ...

Completely Adjustable Multipurpose Agar Gel Cutter.

Recent progress in the study of antigen-antibody reactions of biologicals in agar gel demands improvement of existing gel-cutting devices. For an ideal comparison of two or more antigenic preparations against an antiserum, it is necessary to obtain a critical distance between the ( antigen and antibody cups and to obtain a partial or complete identity of precipitinogen in adjacent cups. However...

Differentiation of Candida dubliniensis on chrom agar and Pal's agar.

Difference in expression of putative virulence factors and in antifungal susceptibility among different Candida species has raised the need for species-level identification. The close relationship of Candida dubliniensis with C. albicans has led to misidentification of C. dubliniensis isolates as C. albicans. Phenotypic tests include ability to produce chlamydospore on casein agar, colony colou...

The Introduction of Agar-agar into Bacteriology.

Among fundamental developments in bacteriology the elaboration of solid culture substrates will always hold first place. With the introduction of a method for isolating micro6rganisms and growing them in pure culture, bacteriologists possessed the means for studying what Ferdinand Cohn (1872) called "Die kleinsten lebenden Wesen." Credit for the discovery of the solid medium technique is common...
