[Device for determining oxygen tension in biological objects using a pulse method].

Abstract

An apparatus designed by the authors for measuring oxygen tension in biological objects is described. An electronic commutator allows it to close the inlet of the recording system at the instant of interval, to accomplish separate and smooth adjustment of the pulse and interval duration within a wide range. This makes it possible to electively establish the electrodes polarization and depolarization conditions depending upon the electrochemical characteristics of the electrodes, the nature of the biological object and the purposes of investigations, which represents the advantage of the unit over the other known apparatus.

[Sterilization by the plasma procedure].

Plasma sterilisation of heat sensitive materials appears as an attractive substitute for ethylene oxide processing which leaves adsorbed toxic residues. In oxygen-based plasmas, the de-activation of pathogenic organisms is assumed to be due to their slow combustion with the active species which produces CO2 and H2O. In the absence of ion bombardment, the concentration of oxygen atoms is an important parameter entering the plasma sterilisation efficiency. Means for achieving high production of oxygen atoms are reviewed and discussed. In particular, an initial improvement would be to generate the plasma in the sterilisation volume itself. Uniform plasma excitation at electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) which allows resonant coupling in the whole treatment volume (no shadowing) and requires reduced electric fields to sustain the discharge (no heating of biomaterials) is particularly adapted to this purpose.

Interaction of tyrosine with dissolved oxygen in solution and spectroscopic evidence for oscillations.

Electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of tyrosine have been studied, using aqueous solutions containing normal and excess amounts of dissolved oxygen, as a function of time. The absorption and fluorescence intensities are found to oscillate with time. Interaction between tyrosine and oxygen is appreciable but it seems that either the formation of a complex between the two molecules is not favoured, or the process of complexation is very slow and the complex weak.
