A new outer layer composition, consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Kel-F oil, and Nafion, is suggested to minimize the detrimental effect of dissolved oxygen and to extend the linear response range of a glucose oxidase(GOx)-based sensor using nonconducting polymer. The morphology of Kel-F/PTFE/Kel-F/Nafion polymeric laminate was followed during fabrication by SEM. When Kel-F film was ...

Nickel(II) of 0.04-1.4 mmol dm-3 and palladium(II) of 1-32 μmol dm-3 were extracted quantitatively into chloroform from the aqueous phases containing 0.2 mol dm-3 and 2 mmol dm-3 0,0'-diethyldithiophosphate(dtp-) at pH 1-7 and 1-13, and determined at 385 nm (c=8.4x 102 mol-' dm3 cm-') and 298 nm (e=2.9x 104 mol-' dm3 cm-'), respectively. The determination of nickel was affected with many divers...

many biological factors affect radiosensitivity. in this study, radiosensitivity among the different blood groups was investigated. peripheral blood sample of 95 healthy people were divided into two parts. one part was irradiated with 2 gy co-60 gamma rays and the second one was considered as control. then all the samples were studied by cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay (cbmn assay). our ...

Phenotype distributions of some genetic polymorphisms are reported in a sample of 721 diabetics and 515 non-diabetic, non-blood donor controls. Reference is also made, in the case of the ABO and Rhesus systems, to previously published results for blood donors resident in the Durham area. Non-insulin-taking diabetics show an increased frequency of blood group A1 (and A1 + A2) when compared with ...

Introduction All else being equal, the productivity of a biological process is determined by the quantity of biomass present. There is therefore a major requirement for the accurate measurement and control of the biomass within fermentors, at both laboratory and industrial scales. Presently the range of sensors available that can be used in situ and reliably for the monitoring and regulation of...
