Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (diEGME) was one of 15 glycols tested in CD-1 mice using a short-term in vivo reproductive toxicity assay (Chernoff/Kavlock test). Because results were strongly suggestive of potential reproductive toxicity, a teratology study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley

We report a colorimetric method for determining lithium in blood serum without sample pretreatment or solvent-extraction steps. The method is based on a novel chromogenic ionophore that exhibits exceptionally high selectivity (much greater than 4000:1) for lithium over sodium. The
