A simple analytical procedure is proposed for simultaneous determination of three common dyes (Basic Blue 9, Brilliant Blue E-4BA, and Reactive Blue 2) in natural waters without prior separation of the solutes. A popular chemometric method, partial least squares regression PLS-1, was effectively applied for spectral resolution of a highly overlapping system. At the best modeling conditions, mea...

The quantitative determination of proteins in biological fluids, using Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250, was evaluated. Compared with the biuret method, the Coomassie Blue G-250 method needs a much shorter time for analysis and has a greater sensitivity. The sensitivity of the dye for albumin is significantly greater than for globulins. The standard curves for the biuret method are more linear th...

Background: Cryopreservation of farm animal embryos is nowadays a widely used routine technique. Success in cryopreservation of form animal depends on many factors including: freezing medium, types of cryoproctants, melting process, lipid content in ooplasm and oocyte quality It has been found that immature Oocytes with reduced reproductive performance or slaughtered at the end of their use are...

background: many studies reported that follicle size has an essential role in developmental potential of oocytes. also, the brilliant cresyl blue (bcb) test is one of the most important criteria in selection of more competent oocytes. objective: selection of developmentally competent bovine oocytes. materials and methods: a total of 1730 bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (cocs) were recovered fro...

Hemoglobin H is of particular interest since it consists only of j3 chains (1). This abnormal hemoglobin, therefore, presents a unique opportunity for investigating the imluence of a-j3 chain interactions on some of the structural and functional properties of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin H used for these studies was obtained from two patients. The first patient, L. G., was a 25-year-old woman of ...

objective: nutrients and antioxidants in the medium of immature oocyte have a profound effect on maturation, fertilization and development of resulting embryos. in this study the effects of melatonin as an antioxidant agent on maturation, glutathione level and expression of high mobility group box-1 (hmgb1) gene were evaluated in immature oocytes of mice stained with brilliant cresyl blue (bcb)...

Azul de cresil brilhante (BCB) foi eletropolimerizado sobre a superfície de um eletrodo de carbono líquido iônico (CILE) por voltametria cíclica de varredura na faixa de potencial de –0,5 a 1,0 V. CILE foi preparado usando o 1-etil-3-metil-imidazólio tetrafluoroborato ([EMIM]BF4) como modificador. Um filme polimerico estável de BCB foi obtido no CILE com aparecimento de um par de picos redox. A...
