Coupled factors influencing concentration-dependent colloid transport and retention in saturated porous media.

13 Sep 2009 The coupled influence of input suspension concentration (Ci), ionic strength (IS), and hydrodynamics on the transport and retention of 1.1 microm carboxyl-modified latex colloids in saturated quartz sand (150 microm) under unfavorable attachment ... Read more...

ICChI, a glycosylated chitinase from the latex of Ipomoea carnea.

11 Aug 2009 A multi-functional enzyme ICChI with chitinase/lysozyme/exochitinase activity from the latex of Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulphate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction and size exclusion ... Read more...

Perioperative anaphylaxis.

30 Jul 2009 The incidence of immune-mediated anaphylaxis during anesthesia ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000. Neuromuscular blocking agents represent the most frequently involved substances, followed by latex and antibiotics, but every drug or substance ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Latex'

Definition: A milky, product excreted from the latex canals of a variety of plant species that contain cauotchouc. Latex is composed of 25-35% caoutchouc, 60-75% water, 2% protein, 2% resin, 1.5% sugar & 1% ash. RUBBER is made by the removal of water from latex.(From Concise Encyclopedia Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed). Hevein proteins are responsible for LATEX HYPERSENSITIVITY. Latexes are used as inert vehicles to carry antibodies or antigens in LATEX FIXATION TESTS.
