Eliminating from physiologic circulation a significant amount of unnecessary perfluorocarbons (PFC) is advantageous since little is known about long-term effects of PFC in the circulatory system. The basic circuitry, cell-washer, mechanical manipulations, and overall concept revealed that a significant amount of PFC can be retrieved and estimated in volume and compared to initial volumes. A met...

Developing a robust, novel method for performing multiple reactions in a single tube is not only time- and cost-saving but also critical for future high-throughput whole-slide in situ techniques on diseased tissues. In this study, we introduce the use of perfluorocarbons and compound-coated magnetic particles to create pseudochambers in a single tube, allowing different reactions to be performe...

During partial liquid ventilation perfluorocarbons are eliminated mainly by evaporation via the airways. The effects of intrapulmonary perfluorocarbon volume, respiratory rate, tidal volume, as well as the level of end-expiratory pressure on perfluorocarbon elimination from isolated lungs, were studied. Nonperfused rabbit lungs underwent partial liquid ventilation (2-15 mL x kg(-1) perfluorocar...

A combination of high-throughput NMR titration experiments, UV-Vis absorption titrations and data collected from the literature on 1:1 H-bonded complexes has been used to characterise the H-bond properties of non-polar organic solvents: alkanes, perfluorocarbons, aromatic and halogenated organic solvents. The results are analysed in the context of the electrostatic solvent competition model, wh...
