Condylen Forte

€

Contains TCA, Podophyllum Resin, Preservatives Description Condylen Forte How Supplied 20 gm glass bottles Actions & Uses Condylen Forte is a product employed to remove external warts. The recommended application method involves applying the liquid to the warts at specified intervals, which should be every 15 days, and repeating this process twice. After use, it is important to rinse the treated area with either water or a standard saline solution. 1. The physician identifies the warts in the affected area. 2. Using a pointed applicator tip, apply a sufficient amount of the solution directly to the top of each wart. Be careful not to apply it to the surrounding healthy tissues because the solution has a cauterizing effect on warts. 3. Following the initial application, the patient should use protection during sexual intercourse only on the first day of application. 4. Reapply the solution on the 16th day. 5. On the 31st day, the patient should undergo a Pap Test and an HPV test. Warnings For External Use Only. Should inadvertent ocular administration occur, the eye(s) should be washed immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence of solution remains (approximately 15-20 minutes). Storage Keep tightly closed and protect from light. DO NOT use if seal is broken. Store at room temperature. Disposal Opened containers with unused portions of product containing residual product should be placed in a suitable, dry container for later disposal according to local hazardous waste practices.

Qualis Oleum

€

RAPID TEST DETECTING TOTAL POLAR COMPOUNDS IN FRYING FATS AND OILS Qualis Oleum is a quick test for the semi-quantitative detection of TPC (Total Polar Compounds) in frying fats. Ideal for everyday quality control of vegetable oils (sunflower oil, corn, peanut, etc.). It is an excellent solution for fast foods, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, caterings, food industries, etc. Acrylamide does not naturally occur in cooking oil, but when starchy foods such as potatoes are fried with re-used oil, then acrylamide levels can reach dangerously high levels. Increasing the concentration of acrylamide in cooking oil can be particularly harmful to the consumers of the products. It is accepted by the scientific community that high levels of TPCs contain high levels of acrylamide . It is universally accepted that daily monitoring of TPC levels of cooking oil is essential to ensure its quality. CHARACTERISTICS Sample Preheated specimen at 60°C or no preheated specimen at 20°C Contents kit Each kit contains 10 or 50 pre-filled tubes with reagent R. Test procedure 1. Add 500 uL. of sample in the pre-filled tube 2. Mix gently for at least 5 seconds 3. Read the color results. Compare formed colors with color code Interpretation of the results (For quantification, compare to the specific color on the card included in the kit) Deep green: Good oil quality, keep using it Bright yellow: Bad oil quality, change required Reference Code: 82350 Linearity range: 0-25 (in % of TPC concentration) Expiry date: 24 months Storage: The kit can be preserved at room temperature QUALIS OLEUM (1)

Total Polyphenols Direct

€

Quantitative Determination of total polyphenols in edible oils, wine and food Description The antioxidant capacity of polyphenols plays an important role in the stability of olive oil, as there is a correlation between the amount of total polyphenols and resistance to oxidation. Polyphenols have a protective effect on the cells of the human body because they oppose the negative effects of free radicals. These polyphenols in olive oil act as natural antioxidants. The amount of polyphenols decreases during olive oil extraction, so the test can be used to optimize the processing. Olive oil is rich in polyphenols, which form its "polar fraction" and prevent its self-oxidation, thus giving it its excellent thermal stability and contributing to its characteristic aroma and taste. The main ones are: tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein and protocatechuic, gallic, vanillic, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic, syringic, 4-hydroxyphenyl acetate, omavanillic, quinamic, o-coumaric, p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic and sinoacetic acids. The main antioxidants of olive oil are considered to be tocopherols, the main representative being alpha-tocopherol, and phenolic compounds. Vitamin E with its parent compound tocol consists of two series of compounds: tocopherols and tocotrienols. The tocopherols are divided into a-tocopherol, b-tocopherol, c-tocopherol, and d-tocopherol, while the tocotrienols are divided into a-, b-, c-, and d-tocotrienol. The total biological activity of vitamin E is mainly due to the presence of αtocopherol. It is the alpha-tocopherol that exerts the greatest biological activity in the human body and is the reference for the action of the other forms of vitamin E. All tocopherols are natural antioxidants of oils, since they have an antioxidant activity that increases from a to d. The stability of olive oil to oxidation is largely due to the presence of tocopherols, which are easily oxidised. A-tocopherol is traditionally considered the main antioxidant in olive oil. It constitutes about 90% of all tocopherols and normally ranges from 100 to 300 ppm (Blekas et al., 1995; Psomiadou and Tsimidou, 1998). c-Tocopherol constitutes about 8% of all tocopherols in olive oil, while b-, d-tocopherols are only present in trace amounts (Andrikopoulos et al., 1989). Vitamin E is an important natural antioxidant of oils, since it inhibits the oxidation of their fatty substances (triglycerides), and protects olive oil from peroxidation and the free radical propagation mechanism.

IRON CROMAZUROL Colorimetric method Endpoint

€

PRINCIPLE The method is based on the properties of Chromazurol S (CAS), a chromogenic iron-binding dye, that under acidic conditions in presence of cetrimide (CTAB) forms an intense purple complex proportional to the concentration of iron present in the sample. REAGENT COMPOSITION R Chromazurol reagent. Acetate buffer, chromazurol, cetrimide, Mg2+, thiourea, Tween 20. C R:35/10 S :26-37/39-45 STORAGE AND STABILITY Store at 2-8ºC. All the kit compounds are stable until the expiry date stated on the label. Do not use reagents over the expiration date. Store the vials tightly closed, protected from light and prevented contaminations during the use. Discard if appear signs of deterioration: - Presence of particles and turbidity. - - Blank absorbance (A) at 635 nm > 0.575 in 1cm cuvette REAGENT PREPARATION The Reagent is ready-to-use. SAMPLES Serum or heparinized plasma. Centrifuge specimen as soon as possible after collection. Hemolyzed samples are rejected. Ruptured red cells falsely elevate the serum results. Iron in serum is stable for 3 weeks at 2-8ºC and for about 7 days at 20-25ºC. Freeze for longer storage. INTERFERENCES - Lipemia (intralipid >1.25 g/L) may affect the results. - Bilirubin (< 10 mg/dL) does not interfere. - Hemoglobin may affect the results. - Other drugs and substances may interfere MATERIALS REQUIRED - Photometer or colorimeter capable of measuring at 635 ± 20 nm. - Pipettes with disposable plastic tips to measure reagents and samples. - Disposable plastic tubes for the tests. PROCEDURE 1. Bring reagents and samples to room temperature. 2. Pipette into labelled test tubes: (For cal.) R: 1000 uL. + cal.: 50 uL. (For sample) R: 1000 uL. + sample: 50 uL. 3. Mix and let the tubes stand 10 minutes at 37ºC. 4. Read the absorbance (A) of the samples and the standard at 635 nm against the reagent blank. CALCULATIONS A Sample/A Standard x C Standard = ug/dL iron Samples with concentrations higher than 1000 ug/dL should be diluted 1:2 with saline and assayed again. Multiply the results by 2. If results are to be expressed as SI units apply: ug/dL x 0.179 = umol/L. REFERENCE VALUES Men = 60 - 175 ug/dL (10.7 - 31.3 umol/L) Women = 50 - 170 ug/dL (9.0 - 30.4 umol/L) Note: It is recommended that each laboratory establishes its own reference range QUALITY CONTROL The use of a standard to calculate results allows to obtain an accuracy independent of the system or instrument used. To ensure adequate quality control (QC), each run should include a set of controls (normal and abnormal) with assayed values handled as unknowns. If the values are found outside of the defined range, check the instrument, reagents and procedure. Each laboratory should establish its own Quality Control scheme and corrective actions if controls do not meet the acceptable tolerances. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Following intestinal absoption of iron or erythrocyte destruction, iron ions are released into the plasma where they bind to either apotransferrin or apoferritin proteins to form transferrin and ferritin, respectively. The former helps transport iron to bone marrow for erythropoiesis; the latter stores iron in tissues, until is needed. An increase in the iron level in plasma due to rapid destruction of erythrocytes or excesive uptake of iron may also lead to iron overload. The latter causes iron deposition disorders in tissue known as hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis. Conversely, a decrease in the iron level in plasma due to malnutrition or malabsorbtion may lead to excesive depletion in iron storage, resulting in anemia such as iron-deficiency anemia. NOTES - Contamination of glassware with iron will affect the test. Use acid-washed glassware or plastic tubes. - This method may be used with different instruments. Any application to an instrument should be validated to demonstrate that results meet the performance characteristics of the method. It is recommended to validate periodically the instrument. Contact to the distributor for any question on the application method. - - Clinical diagnosis should not be made on findings of a single test result, but should integrate both clinical and laboratory data. ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE Detection Limit: 10.10 ug/dL Linearity: Up to 1000 ug/dL Precision (expressed in ug/dL): Within-run Mean - 118.8, 204.6 SD - 0.95, 0.59 CV% - 0.81, 0.59 N - 10, 10 Between-run Mean - 118.8, 204.6 SD - 2.71, 3.71 CV% - 2.28, 1.81 N - 10, 10 Sensitivity : 1.6 mAbs / ug/dL iron. Correlation: This assay (y) was compared with a similar commercial method (x). The results were: N = 49 r = 0. 97 y = 0.97x + 0.10 The analytical performances have been generated using on automatic instrument. Results may vary depending on the instrument. IRON CROMAZUROL PDF
