摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of detecting and quantifying endotoxin in a sample in which endotoxin derived from gram-negative bacteria cannot be accurately detected or quantified by the method described in Commentary of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia Fourteenth Edition, Hirokawa Publishing Co. 2001 B-63. It has been found that the above object can be achieved by performing an endotoxin test using a lysate reagent in which the lysate reagent is added into a sample in the presence of albumin and/or globulin.

摘要:
A 3-methylthiopropanal is produced by a method comprising the step of supplying an acrolein and a methyl mercaptan together or sequentially with an acidic compound and a basic compound into a reaction system to react the acrolein with the methyl mercaptan, wherein the basic compound is used in an amount of about 0.3 mol or less per mol of the acidic compound. In accordance with the present invention, a 3-methylthiopropanal with high quality is produced while suppressing the production of by-products having high boiling points.

摘要:
A wafer carrier box contains a wafer carrier which holds at the same time, a plurality of thin sheets, such as magnetic disks, compact disks, silicon wafers for producing semiconductors, or glass bases for LCDs, for operations including conveying, storing and surface-processing the thin sheets. On wall surfaces of the wafer carrier box and/or wafer carrier are bar codes including processing histories and control directly written by a laser beam. The wafer carrier is formed of a material such as polypropylene containing 0.0001 to 0.5 percent by weight of Si or other material that acts as an exothermic body. The other material may be a catalytic substance normally included in production of the wafer carrier. Deterioration in identification capability, which may occur due to chemical liquids, is eliminated. Therefore damage to the bar code which provides lot identification is prevented and improved processing is achieved.
