Fast Green (FCF) dye is commonly used in both cytology and histology applications. Previous studies have found that it can cause mutagenic and tumorigenic effects in experimental human and animal populations. It can also be a source of skin, eye, respiratory, and digestive irritation. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of thin film membranes to degrade FCF. A thin film membrane of...

muscle, which is particularly great with DNP. Further experiments on these problems are in progress. SUMMARY 1. The influence of 2:4-dinitrophenol, methylene blue, brilliant cresyl blue, thionine, phenosafranine and Janus Green B on the oxidative phosphoryl-ation of mitochondria isolated from liver, kidney, brain, heart and skeletal muscle of rats has been studied in vitro as well as in vivo. 2...

Table 1-Composition of extended chicken nugget formulations in a threecomponent constrained simplex lattice mixture design evaluated for acA mixture design was used to optimize the sensory acceptability (appearance, color, flavor, texture, and overall liking) of chicken nuggets containing flours processed from fermented cowpeas (FCF) and fermented partially defatted peanuts (FPDPF). Flavor and ...

A combined surface sampling probe/electrospray emitter was used for the direct readout of thin-layer chromatography plates by electrospray mass spectrometry. The technique was demonstrated with reversed-phase C18 plates using a three-dye mixture composed of methylene blue, crystal violet, and rhodamine 6G for positive ion mode detection and a separate dye mixture containing fluorescein, naphtho...

Vital staining of the endothelial graft is essential during Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) to ensure surgical success. DMEK surgeons worldwide commonly use trypan blue (TB) to this end. However, TB may exert toxic effects on both the cornea and retina. Recently, Brilliant Blue G (BBG) has become recognized as an alternative stain for use during vitreoretinal surgery; BBG is...
