(19) Pretreatment of cells with carbol chromotrope blocked non-specific binding without interfering with the recognition of specific nucleotide sequences.
(20) Hemo-De was found to be an excellent replacement for ethyl acetate in the concentration procedure and for carbol-xylene and xylene in the trichrome staining procedure.
Disinfectant
Definition:
(n.) That which disinfects; an agent for removing the causes of infection, as chlorine.
Example Sentences:
