The authors have modified R. Flores' method of protein measurements in solutions with bromophenol blue and suggest their modification for measurements of the blood serum total proteins. Experimental and clinical data have confirmed the significant effect of elevated blood levels of glucose and dextrans on the values of blood serum total proteins measured by the common biuret and refractometric methods. The bromophenol blue method is free from these disadvantages. The technique is recommended, first of all, for the infusion therapy departments. The method is highly specific, unsophisticated, and rapid, and is recommended for wide practical use in both inpatient and outpatient clinics. It can be used to measure proteins in other biologic fluids and solutions, provided its levels are not lower than 100 micrograms/ml.

Novel, «green» and simple visible spectrophotometric procedures for the determination of six dihydropyridines CCBs (amlodipine besylate (AML), lacidipine (LAC), levamlodipine besylate (LAML), nifedipine (NIF), nimodipine (NIM) and nitrendipine (NIT)) through derivatization with the sulfophthalein dye bromophenol blue (BPB) have been developed. The optimal parameters for CCBs spectrophotometric analysis via complex formation using BPB were as follows: detection wavelength-596 nm, reaction time-5 min, ratio of reacting components-1:1, operating temperature-25 ± 2 °C. The concentration was linearly proportional to absorbance values in the range of 3.

Laccase is an extracellular enzyme that is widely used in the decolonization of textile dyes in waste water. The aim of our study was to isolate, purify, characterize and immobilize the laccase enzyme produced by HBB 7328. Purified laccase enzyme was immobilized in polyacrylamide gel to explore its ability in decolonization of textile dyes.

An efficient manufacturing of colorimetric nonwoven indicators represents a promising alternative to enable applications of such materials in food quality monitoring. The objective of this study is to use the solution blow spinning technique (SBS) to rapidly produce colorimetric nonwoven indicators based on polycaprolactone, incorporating natural or synthetic pH indicators to detect volatile amines, bacterial growth and monitor pH. Produced via the SBS method, these indicators were characterized aiming their physical, mechanical, thermal, and spectroscopic properties, evaluating their efficacy in detecting amines, monitoring bacterial growth, and pH, as well as assessing color stability during storage.

Nowadays, there is a need to expand the bank of spectrophotometric methods for the determination of perindopril in dosage forms for the purposes of routine pharmaceutical analysis, which would be simple, express, «green» and inexpensive. In the present work, perindopril in tablets was quantified via a direct simple, «green», and non-extracting spectrophotometric approach based on the formation of ion-pair complexes with sulphophtalein dyes. The absorbances of the colored reaction products were registered at 405 nm (bromocresol green, BCG), 397 nm (bromocresol purple, BCP, and bromothymol blue, BTB) and 598 nm (bromophenol blue, BPB).
