Previously, we reported a method for facile purification of oligonucleotides labeled with hydrophobic dyes, based on the solubility difference between the hydrophilic DNA and unreacted dye. Here, we present a new purification method applicable to any dye regardless of its hydrophobicity. We exploited the population shift of a fluorescent dye in a low-pH aqueous solution from its anionic form to...

The interactions between an anionic dye, Acid Green 25 AG and the two cationic surfactants tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TTAB, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB in aqueous solutions far below the CMC are studied using the conductometric method at different temperature. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic functions for the process of dye-surfactant ion pair formatio...

In this work, the ability of the MgCaFe- Layered double hydroxide (LDH) for congo red (CR) dye removal in aqueous solution was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentrations, temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH effect and agitation rate were examined and optimal conditions (10 mgL-1 of the dye concentration, 25 °C of temperature, 0.5 gL-1 of the adsorbent dosage, pH~7 and 450...

Dye pollution represents an important environmental concern, especially from textile industries in the South of Asia. On the other hand, biomass accumulation derived frommussel processing in alimentary industries is also an environmental problem. In this research, these two environmental issues are addressed by proposing the reuse of mussel's protein anchoring threads, the byssus, as disposable...

The process of formation of Marx line is studied in this article. Various theories have been proposed previously, in order to explain the mechanisms which lead to the development of Marx line. These theories are based on the characteristics of stained area and do not pay attention to the behavior of dye solution itself on the surface. The aim of this study is to investigate the latter behavior ...

this study demonstrates the spectral data for two triarylmethane dyes, malachite green (mg) and crystal violet (cv) at room temperature. effects of micellar environment, and crown ether addition on the spectral behaviour of the dyes were studied using absorption spectroscopic method. the dye-anionic surfactant interactions in micellar media were investigated. the chosen surfactants with differe...

In this paper we report on the preparation of calix[8]arene functionalized polyglycerol nanogels by miniemulsion polymerization. The gel macromonomers were prepared by anionic ring-opening multibranching polymerization of glycidol using calix[8]arene as initiator. 1,1 ,3,3,3 ,3 -hexamethyl-2,2 -indotricarbocyanine iodide (HITC) red fluorescent dye was used as a guest molecule. Photobleaching up...

The existing rapid method for the determination of anionic surfactants in aqueous solutions relies on the association of the cationic methylene blue dye with the anionic surfactant to form an electroneutral complex that is subsequently extracted into chloroform and determined spectrophotometrically. This methylene blue active substance (MBAS) assay suffers from salt interference in estuarine an...

1. Hydrated electrons produced by pulse radiolysis were used to study the interaction of polyanionic glycosaminoglycans and related compounds with the counterions Methylene Blue and cetylpyridinium chloride. 2. The effect of added salt (potassium chloride) on the interaction indicates that the relative binding affinities, with respect to the types of anionic site present, increases for both cou...
