Cyanotoxins are toxic substances produced by cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, which can proliferate in water bodies under conditions like high nutrient levels and warm temperatures. There are over 1,118 different cyanotoxins identified globally in freshwater environments across 66 countries, illustrating the widespread nature of this ...
Samples should be slowly warmed to try and prevent sample damage from ice crystals rupturing. Heated water baths, such as the Thermostatic Water Bath from Froilabo provide an excellent means for thawing cryogenically frozen samples. ...
It is capable to carry up to twenty inoculated slides into four containers for reagents, one rinse water bath, and one warm air-drying container. As it has been said, automating a slide stainer for hematology is a must for labs that wish to increase their yield. ...

After rain events in densely populated areas, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have severe health-related effects upon surface water quality, as well as diffuse overland runoff and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). All of these sources emit pathogens and fecal indicator bacteria into the surface water, which the EU Bathing ...
Whereas the hygienic condition of drinking and bathing water by law must be monitored by culture-based methods, for quantification of microbes and antibiotic resistance in soil or the aquatic environment, often molecular genetic assays are used. ...
This study represents the first systematic review and meta-analysis conducted to assess the association between swimming in recreational water and the occurrence of respiratory illness. Most studies focus their attention on gastrointestinal illnesses occurring after exposure to microbial polluted water. Fourteen independent studies that included 50,117 patients with significant heterogeneity ...
The prevalence of enterococci harboring tetracycline- and vancomycin-resistance genes, as well as the enterococcal surface protein (esp) has mostly been determined in clinical settings, but their prevalence in tropical recreational waters remains largely unknown. The present study determined the prevalence of tetM (tetracycline-resistance), vanA and vanB (vancomycin-resistance) in the bacterial ...
Pathogenic Leptospira, the causative agents of leptospirosis, are mainly associated with tropical freshwaters, but little is known about their fate in the environment. This study analyzed the distribution of pathogenic Leptospira genomes in 22 tropical coastal streams using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Statistical analyses were conducted to understand pathogenic Leptospira ...
Coagulate the emulsion by placing the vial in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Centrifuge for 10 minutes. The clear supernate is filtered (0.45um Nylon) and placed in an autosampler ...
A high radiochemical yield was obtained when using 20 μg of HYNIC-TOC, 10 mg of EDDA, 20 mg of tricine, 15 μg of SnCl2.2H2O, pH 7.5 and 10 min of boiling water bath. Biodistribution studies showed fast blood clearance of the labelled peptide with high kidney uptake and urinary excretion. ...
