Disinfect Aquarium Plants using Hydrogen PeroxideHydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, is a safe chemical and my personal favorite way to disinfect and clean aquatic plants. In the past, I used H2O2 to get rid of algae, as well.Before you add the plants to your fish tanks, to sanitize them with ...
Another sad reality is that illness in fish, unlike animals, are harder to detect, and often subtle changes in their behavior can signal that something is wrong. Fish diseases are difficult to spot without close inspection, but many conditions and diseases bring about a change in behavior for ...
The quantification of microplastics (MPs), especially small MPs (20–100 μm), in freshwater environment and wastewaters is a great challenge due to the complexity of environmental compartment. In the present study, a novel method based on the optimization of sampling, pretreatment, and detection ...
As we have just seen, mold overgrowth affects you over time, the consequences can be dire, and many people don’t even know they are being exposed to it. Act by educating yourself about this issue. Then take measures to get rid of it in your home, office and diet. Finally, make the...
ECL stands for Enhanced Chemiluminescence. As you probably know, we use it to detect and quantify specific proteins on a membrane. The chemicals in ECL, when mixed together, react to produce light. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme horseradish peroxidase. ...
Re: How to detect ferrous/ferric in solution « Reply #3 on: May 30, 2007, 12:27:24 PM » If you have access to a Magnetic Susceptibility balance, it should be fairly easy; as the ferric and ferrous might have a different number of unpaired electrons, so the reading should be ...
Using Hydrogen Peroxide Because hydrogen peroxide can potentially bleach certain types of carpets, test it by applying a small amount on the corner of the surface. If you don’t detect discoloration, you can proceed by spraying or pouring a small quantity of hydrogen peroxide on the stain. ...
eyes -- three simple eyes, orocelli, and two compound eyes. The compound eyes are made of lots of small, repeating eye parts calledommatidia.In each compound eye, about 150 ommatidia specialize in seeing patterns. This allows bees to detectpolarizedlight -- something human beings cannot do....
Does hydrogen peroxide neutralize mycotoxins? It is susceptible to degradation if contaminated; therefore, containers and any water used to dilute it must be very clean. Peroxide is stable only under acidic conditions. As a result, it can damage surfaces that are not acid stable.Hydrogen peroxide...
If a bacteria or virus does get into the body, the immune system tries to detect and eliminate it before it can make itself at home and reproduce. If the virus or bacteria is able to reproduce and start causing problems, your immune system is in charge of eliminating it. The immune syst...
