False positive detection of XMRV may also occur because of contamination of clinical specimens and laboratory reagents with other mouse retroviruses or related nucleic acids.
13.
Ignatius Gottfried Kaim ( 1770 ) and Johann Glauber ( 17th century ) discovered that manganese dioxide could be converted to permanganate, a useful laboratory reagent.
14.
Its use as a laboratory reagent has been superseded to some extent by methyl triflate, CF 3 SO 3 CH 3, the methyl ester of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
15.
The compound is also used to harden iron and steel, in electroplating, dyeing wool, as a laboratory reagent, and as a mild oxidizing agent in organic chemistry.
16.
A ribonuclease isolated and purified from Caspian cobra venom, ribonuclease V1, is commonly used as a laboratory reagent in molecular biology experiments due to its unusual ability to break down structured RNA.
17.
The oxidizing nature of many organolead compounds is usefully exploited : lead tetraacetate is an important laboratory reagent for oxidation in organic chemistry; tetraethyllead was once produced in larger quantities than any other organometallic compound.
18.
Potassium permanganate, also called Condy's crystals, is a commonly used laboratory reagent because of its oxidizing properties; it is used as a topical medicine ( for example, in the treatment of fish diseases ).
19.
The UK-registered Arjan Ala Charitable Trust ( AACT ) in London, was established by Dr . Ala in 2001 in order to support the ICHCC with educational grants, as well as to purchase and dispatch laboratory reagents and equipment.

Uranyl zinc acetate is used as a laboratory reagent in the determination of sodium concentrations of solutions using a method of quantitatively precipitating sodium with uranyl zinc acetate and gravimetrically determining the sodium as uranyl zinc sodium acetate, ( UO 2 ) 3 ZnNa ( CH 3 CO 2 ) 9 ?H 2 O . The presence of caesium and rubidium does not interfere with this reaction, but the presence of potassium and lithium must be removed prior to analysis.
