Microfabricated biochips are very efficient platforms for analysis of biologically important molecules such as DNA, RNA, enzymes, antibodies etc. These devices requires sample in micro/nano volume and produces faster and better results. For these reasons, we fabricated a simple, disposable microfluidic device for amperometric detection of DNA intercalated with methylene blue redox dye. The devi...

Methylene blue is an intravenously administered agent that may potentiate serotonin syndrome. The usage of methylene blue to evaluate ureters for injuries and patency during urological surgeries is recognized as common practice. However, there is no mention of serotonin syndrome caused by methylene blue in urological literature or for urological surgery. We report the first urological case in o...

background and objectives: activated carbon is an adsorbent which is mostly employed in order to remove dye from aqueous solutions; however, commercial activated carbon is expensive and this is considered as an obstacle for its usage. therefore, the present study aimed to use waste paper as an inexpensive precursor to produce activated carbon. materials and methods: in the present study, koh wa...

This study examines the sorption of methylene blue on the cheap unconventional bio sorbents, citrus fruits: oranges and lemons. Bio sorbents which was used was: orange and lemon peel, seeds and pulp. The results are compared with results of sorption to mineral sorbents, zeolite clinoptilolite, Pyrolox and Birm. Sorption kinetics and the influence of pH on the sorption of methylene blue on orang...

1. Cysteamine is oxidized to hypotaurine by an enzyme extracted from horse kidney, with sulphur or sulphide acting as a cofactor. It has been now found that, when the enzyme is omitted, sulphur and sulphide are able to catalyse the oxidation of cysteamine to cystamine by molecular oxygen. 2. Methylene blue may be used in catalytic amounts as a cofactor in the enzymic oxidation of cysteamine to ...

in this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by cu2+/s2o82− process has beenpresented. cu2+ as photocatalyst and s2o82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.the influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as ph, concentration o...

Biological synthesis of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using methanol plant extracts of Tridax procumbens, Phyllanthusniruri, and Syzygium aromaticum. The as-prepared ZnS NPs was examined by several physiochemical techniques such as X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transf...

Angiogenesis is the process of generating new blood vessels from preexisting vessels and is considered essential in many pathological conditions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of methylene blue in chick chorioallantoic membrane angiogenesis model in vivo. In this well characterized model, methylene blue inhibited angiogenesis in a concentration-dependent manner. In...

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, adsor...
