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...

Synthesis, characterisation and in vitro evaluation of novel thiolated derivatives of polyallylamine and quaternised polyallylamine. (2015)
Journal Article
IBIE, C.O., THOMPSON, C.J. and KNOTT, R. 2015. Synthesis, characterisation and in vitro evaluation of novel thiolated derivatives of polyallylamine and quaternised polyallylamine. Colloid and polymer science [online], 293(6), pages 1737-1748. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00396-015-3561-4

Polyallylamine (Paa) was quaternised by methylation of its primary amines using methyl iodide to yield quaternised Paa (QPaa). Average level of polymer quaternisation was determined by elemental analysis and was found to be 72 ± 2mol%. Subsequent thi...
