Question: you please help me calculate the number of micro drips per min? nitroprusside sodium 0.6 microgram/kilogram per min is ordered for mrs. salud, who weighs 128 ib. available is nitroprusside sodium 50mg/ 250ml of NS. can you please show me and help me to set this up to get the answer? thank you so much!

Answer: 1mg = 1000mcg Convert the weight to kg 128lb / (2.2lb/kg) 58.18kg Calculate the dose 58.18kg * (0.6mcg/kg) 39.9mcg per min (40) 50mg = 50000mcg (50000mcg/250ml) = (40mcg/xml) x = (250ml * 40mcg) / 50000mcg x = 0.2ml per min Here I'm going to use a drip factor of 60gtts/ml (0.2ml/min) * (60gtts/ml) 12gtts/min [If you want to use 15gtts/ml, just substitute]

Question: can someone explain this paragraph easily? Early investigations in Japan into the formation of thiosulphinates in garlic led to the development of a (paper) chromatographic technique that relied on the development of an orange-red colour formed by a reaction with alkaline sodium nitroprusside. This early colour reaction was limited by its inability to distinguish between thiosulphonates and thiosulphinates and that the colour development was not permanent. At almost the same time, during a course of experiments in the USA with homocysteine peptides it was discovered that, when the products of a reaction between N-ethylmaleimide and thiols are made alkaline, a red colour develops. Under the correct conditions, the reaction was found to be extremely sensitive and the stability of the colour made it suitable for the visualisation of thiols or thiol esters separated by paper chromatography and for colorimetric determination.

Answer: So, basically, this is talking about the development of chromatography techniques. It discusses two different groups who began to develop techniques for measuring compound levels with special paper, and how the second group (the American scientists) were more successful than the first (the Japanese scientists). This isn't too hard to figure out. The best thing to do is to break it up: 1. Early investigations in Japan into the formation of thiosulphinates in garlic led to the development of a (paper) chromatographic technique that relied on the development of an orange-red colour formed by a reaction with alkaline sodium nitroprusside. So this means that some people who were studying the way thiosulphinates (which, a brief Google search discovers, are flavor compounds in garlic) form in garlic, and in the process they developed a way to test the levels of that compound chromatographically, or by seeing whether the orangey-red color showed up on paper. 2. This early colour reaction was limited by its inability to distinguish between thiosulphonates and thiosulphinates and that the colour development was not permanent. Unfortunately, the testing technique wasn't perfect, because it mixed up two different types of the compounds and the color wouldn't stay on the paper for very long. 3. At almost the same time, during a course of experiments in the USA with homocysteine peptides it was discovered that, when the products of a reaction between N-ethylmaleimide and thiols are made alkaline, a red colour develops. Some people in the USA at the same time were studying some other compounds--peptides, in this case--and found another technique for using specially-treated paper to give evidence of certain compounds (again, this is called chromatography)... 4. Under the correct conditions, the reaction was found to be extremely sensitive and the stability of the colour made it suitable for the visualisation of thiols or thiol esters separated by paper chromatography and for colorimetric determination. ...and this technique was better than the other one because it could distinguish among compounds that were very close to each other, and the color wouldn't leave the paper for a long time.

Question: why is there phenol (carbolic acid) in fish water test kits? i bought the tetra NH3/NH4+ ammonia testing kit and it has Phenol (carbolic acid) in it. i hear that's a strong corrosive chemical. now what i need to know is why is it in there and what is its purpose? also the one bottle that has the Phenol in it smells weird is that the phenol or sodium nitroprusside dihydrate or the isopropanol that is what the smell is from? umm nya it really does say on the box carbolic acid not Carbonic acid

Answer: OOOPS!!!! you slipped up on the name. Carbonic acid is just CH2O3, the stuff that makes your soda fizzy. Carbolic acid is the nickname for phenol.

Question: What is the clinical significance of the Sodium Nitroprusside Test?

Answer: A qualitative test for cystinuria; following the addition of sodium cyanide to the urine, the further addition of nitroprusside produces a red-purple colour if the cyanide has reduced any cystine present to cysteine. "A qualitative test for cystinuria; following the addition of sodium cyanide to the urine, the further addition of nitroprusside produces a red-purple colour if the cyanide has reduced any cystine present to cysteine."

Question: What is the clinical significance of the Sodium Nitroprusside Test? 1. Sodium Nitroprusside Test a. Transfer 1 drop of acetone in an evaporating dish and add 1 drop of distilled water. Then add 2 drops of sodium nitroprusside and 2 drops of 5% sodium hydroxide. Observe; add 2 drops of glacial acetic acid. Note the change in color. b. Repeat the test with ethylmethylketone in place of acetone. What is the clinical significance of the Sodium Nitroprusside Test?

Answer: To determine the presence of ketone bodies in bodily fluids,e.g urine.A change in color ,and also depending on the amount of color change will tell the concentration of ketones in urine. Asides from that,Na nitroprusside is used in urine analysis for ectasy and amphetamines(Simon's test)

Question: Tips on starting chemical test kit business? I'm on my way to starting a business that produces and distributes Reagent test kits. These kits are comprised of different chemicals (Sulfuric acid ,Formaldehyde,Selenious Acid, Sodium Nitroprusside, Acetaldehyde, 0.02 Sodium Carbonate, Ammonium Metavanadate) and they are used to presumptively test the presence of different substances (same as law enforcement uses). My question is - besides a basic business license, what other credentials are required for handling chemicals and distributing them? Do customers need to be over 18 years old? If so, how to check if sold online? Are basic warning labels on website and test kit packaging, sufficient enough? Thanks for your help

Answer: wow - wow a total can of worms you need MSDSs; you need DOT licenses. You need to consult a lawyer
