Photoinduced off-switching of organic fluorophores is used in super-resolution microscopy to separate and localize single fluorescent molecules. However, this method typically relies on the use complex imaging buffers that make enzymatic oxygen scavengers remove primary thiols reversibly reduce excited a non-fluorescent state. Here, we show interactions between sodium sulfite glycerol can also ...

OBJECTIVES Some propofol emulsion formulations contain EDTA or sodium metabisulfite to inhibit microbe growth on extrinsic contamination. EDTA is not known to react with propofol formulation components; however, sulfite has been shown to support some oxidation processes and may react with propofol. This study compared the oxidation of propofol and the formation of free radicals by electron para...

Sulfurous compounds: sodium sulfite Na2SO3 (E 221), sodium bisulfite NaHSO, (E 222), and sodium metabisulfite Na2S2O5 (E 223) are largely used as antioxidants in many pharmaceutical formulations. A method for determination of sodium metabisulfite in parenteral formulations containing tartrate ions was developed. High-performance ion chromatography (HPIC) method with suppressed conductivity dete...

A rapid and sensitive procedure for estimating low numbers of Clostridium perfringens has been investigated and compared to methods used currently in the food industry. The new liquid medium, RPM (rapid perfringens medium), was compared with sulfite-polymyxin-sulfadiazine agar and tryptose-sulfite-cycloserine agar in recovery studies with naturally contaminated and with inoculated foods. The me...
