Anna Hoschek et al.
Biotechnology and bioengineering, 116(8), 1887-1900 (2019-05-01)
Photoautotrophic organisms are promising hosts for biocatalytic oxyfunctionalizations because they supply reduction equivalents as well as O2 via photosynthetic water oxidation. Thus far, research on photosynthesis-driven bioprocesses mainly focuses on strain development and the proof of principle in small-scale biocatalytic

Contact dermatitis, 55(3), 148-154 (2006-08-22)
The term 'anti-irritant' (AI) was coined in 1965 by Goldemberg to describe a diverse group of topical product ingredients, which were able to reduce the irritation potential of other more irritating ingredients in the same product. 'AIs' are being added
Flemming Andersen et al.
Contact dermatitis, 55(3), 155-159 (2006-08-22)
So-called anti-irritants (AI) are widely used in cosmetic formulations, with the aim of reducing irritation from substances in the formulation. It may also be claimed that they are 'soothing' and 'healing' ingredients. However, the proof for these claims is circumstantial.
Natalia Kuzmina et al.
Contact dermatitis, 49(1), 26-31 (2003-12-04)
To assess interlaboratory variability in the measurement of skin electrical impedance (IMP), we evaluated irritant reactions to sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) (2%) and nonanoic acid (NAA) (40%) in 2 laboratories. We studied the patch test responses in 40 healthy male
Anders Clemmensen et al.
The Journal of investigative dermatology, 130(9), 2201-2210 (2010-04-30)
The pathogenesis of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is poorly understood, and genes participating in the epidermal response to chemical irritants are only partly known. It is commonly accepted that different irritants have different mechanisms of action in the development of

Protocols

In this study, SPME was used for the analysis of free fatty acids in Parmesan cheese using a 65 μm Carbowax/divinylbenzene (DVB) SPME fiber. Headspace extraction of the cheese sample was conducted at 65 °C for 15 minutes and analyzed by GC with FID detection. SPME is ideal for analyzing the volatiles associated with solid food samples. The phase chemistry of the Nukol GC column provides excellent peak shape of acidic compounds.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
