Increasing numbers of illicit and unlicensed medicines are in general circulation and regularly seized by the police and other regulatory authorities. Forensic identification of seized tablets tends to focus on visual appearance and chromatographic i...

A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate. (2015)
Thesis
SARTAWI, Z. 2015. A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate. Robert Gordon University, MRes Thesis.

Polyelectrolytes are charge-carrying polymers. When two oppositely-charged polyelectrolytes are combined in a solution favouring charge expression, a polyelectrolyte complex can result. These complexes have been shown to be useful in the field of dru... Read More about A novel polyelectrolyte complex between amphiphilic poly (allyl amine) and sodium alginate..

The hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test to predict the ophthalmic irritation potential of a cysteamine-containing gel: quantification using Photoshop® and ImageJ. (2015)
Journal Article
MCKENZIE, B., KAY, G., MATTHEWS, K.H., KNOTT, R.M. and CAIRNS, D. 2015. The hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test to predict the ophthalmic irritation potential of a cysteamine-containing gel: quantification using Photoshop® and ImageJ. International journal of pharmaceutics [online], 490(1-2), pages 1-8. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.05.023

A modified hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test has been developed, combining ImageJ analysis with Adobe® Photoshop®. The irritation potential of an ophthalmic medicine can be quantified using this method, by monitoring damage to blood v...
