Ammonia
Definition:

Ammoniacal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to ammonia, or possessing its properties; as, an ammoniac salt; ammoniacal gas.
Example Sentences:
(1) The ammoniacal silver method, which identifies basic proteins, gives a positive reaction in cytoplasmic granules of rat peritoneal mast cells.
(2) Ammoniacal extracts of bloodstains and dried bloodstains on cotton substrata behaved comparably with respect to the parameters studied.
(3) Fertilizers were added to the soils in amounts to represent a cross section of a fertilizer band, ranging from 100 to 1000 ppm ammoniacal nitrogen.
(4) The proposed method is simple (only beryllium and an ammoniacal buffer are needed to develop fluorescence), rapid (the derivative formation is instantaneous and serum treatment only requires deproteinization), and inexpensive (no sophisticated detection equipment is necessary, any conventional modern spectrofluorimeter being adequate for use).
(5) Originally, the ammoniacal silver reaction relied upon primary fixation in dilute formalin which prevented optimum fixation of tissues.
(6) Both the anionic Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye and SDS detergent improved the sensitivity of silver staining in native gels, and ammoniacal silver was more sensitive than neutral silver, suggesting silver staining to be a charge dependent process.
(7) The effects of absorption time, titer of antiserum or lectin in the absorption stage, and elution temperature on relative antibody or lectin yield in elutes in the absorption-elution procedure were studied in bloodstains and ammoniacal extracts of bloodstains using conventional grouping reagents.
(8) This work introduces a comparison between two methods: the ammoniacal water method and Cripps's differential method.
(9) Proteins were detected with ammoniacal silver stain.
(10) Finally, they show that falsely positive reactions in alkaline urines because of ammoniacal fermentation cannot be ascribed to the increase of pH, but rather directly to an excess of ammonium ions.
(11) Reticular and collagenous fibers stain differently when subjected to ammoniacal silver reduction.
(12) The oxidation is carried out at room temperature and in aqueous ammoniacal solution.
(13) Epiphyseal growth plate chondrocyte nuclei of growing rats were studied for histone content using the ammoniacal silver technique.
(14) Chromatin template activity and histones were studied in the rat superior cervical ganglion neurons of the 2nd, 10th and 60th days after bilateral pre- or postganglionic nerve division using the Moore method and the Black and Ansley ammoniacal silver staining technique.
(15) After studying various criteria (repeatability, limit of detection, accuracy, reference values, stability of the reaction), and after studying the correlation between each method and the benzidin method, used as reference method, as well as the correlation between all of them, Cripp's method turns out to be the closest to the benzidin method, as well as being simpler, more accurate, more specific, and also easier to use than the ammoniacal water method, the only problem occurring at the stage of the preparation of the standard solution.
(16) Stem cells and early erythroblasts exhibit no, or little, ammoniacal silver reaction product, while small basophilic erythroblasts, polychromatophilic erythrocytes, and reticulocytes exhibit an increasing amount of reaction product as maturation proceeds.
