Application

Sodium sulfate can be used as a dehydrating agent for the synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one oxime via the condensation of 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. It can also be used as a drying agent in organic synthesis for the removal of traces of water from organic extracts. It is used for drying almost all compounds including fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, and alkyl and aryl halogenides.

Features and Benefits

  • Increased efficiency – Eliminates time and effort of loosening hardened powders     
  • Safety – Eliminates tools of force used to break up clumps
  • Ecology – Reduces waste as it does not stick to the packaging
  • Economy – Faster preparation and solvation increase productivity and reduce costs      
  • Assured quality – Excellent, expert-tested quality with no anti-caking agents      
  • Flexible volumes – Available from research amounts to scale-up quantities

Expression of heat shock protein A4 (HSPA4, also called Apg-2), a member of the HSP110 family, is induced by several forms of stress. The physiological and pathological functions of HSPA4 in the intestine remain to be elucidated. We assessed HSPA4

Active targeting of nanoscale drug carriers can improve tumor-specific delivery; however, cellular heterogeneity both within and among tumor sites is a fundamental barrier to their success. Here, we describe a tumor microenvironment-responsive layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer drug carrier that actively targets

Improved endurance exercise performance in adult humans after sprint interval training (SIT) has been attributed to mitochondrial biogenesis. However, muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and mitochondrial biogenesis during SIT have not been measured, nor have sex-specific differences. We hypothesized that males
