The intrinsic photophysics of indigo has been studied using gas-phase time-resolved photoelectron imaging of the indigo carmine dianion (InC(2-)). The action spectrum reveals that the gas-phase absorption spectrum arising from the S(1) <-- S(0) transition in InC(2-) has a similar solvent shift to that of neutral indigo. Femtosecond spectroscopy shows that the S(1) state decays on a 1.4 ps times...

two sensitive spectrophotometric methods are presented for the assay of pantoprazole sodium sesqui hydrate (pnt) in bulk drug and in formulations using n-bromosuccinimide (nbs) and two dyes, methyl orange and indigo carmine, as reagents. the methods involve the addition of a known excess of nbs to pnt  in acid medium, followed by determination of unreacted oxidant by reacting with a fixed amoun...

Three new methods using titrimetric and spectrophotometry are described for the determination of Propranolol Hydrochloride (PPH) and Atenolol (AN) with potassium bromate as the oxidimetric reagent and acid dyes, Methyl orange and Indigo carmine. In direct titrimetric (method A), the drug is titrated directly with bromate in acid medium and in the presence of excess of bromide using methyl orang...

*Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan Abstract Endoscopy is a common diagnosis device for the detection of colorectal cancer and there are two methods to improve the diagnostic sensitivity. One is chromoendoscopy, and the other is magnifying endoscopy. Color contrast dye, such as indigo carmine, usually is sprayed on the surface of intestine and can ac...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colonoscopic surveillance for cancer in longstanding extensive ulcerative colitis relies heavily on non-targeted mucosal biopsies. Chromoendoscopy can aid detection of subtle mucosal abnormalities. We hypothesised that routine pancolonic indigo carmine dye spraying would improve the macroscopic detection of dysplasia and reduce the dependence on non-targeted biopsies. PATI...

The unique optical properties of the fluoropolymer microcapillary film (MCF) material combined with the extremely fast photoinactivation of Herpes HSV-1 virus, and photodegradation of indigo carmine, diclofenac and benzoylecgonine in the MCF array photoreactor, demonstrate a new, flexible and inexpensive platform for rapid photochemical transformations, high-throughput process analytics and pho...
