A combination of a biological sample, an agent for detecting the adulterant and an ionic moiety capable of undergoing reduction by gaining electrons is provided in an assay medium. The combination is incubated under conditions sufficient for the ionic moiety to undergo reduction and for the agent for detecting the adulterant to interact with the adulterant. The reduction of the ionic moiety enhances the detection of the adulterant as a result of increasing the sensitivity of the agent for detecting the adulterant. The extent of interaction between the agent for detecting the adulterant and the adulterant is measured and is related to the presence or absence of the... |

| Composition and method for reducing chemical oxygen demand in water | 20060293178 | 20061228 |
| A method and composition for reducing chemical oxygen demand is presented. The composition includes a persulfate donor, a transition metal catalyst in contact with the persulfate donor, and a cationic electrolyte. When the composition is contacted by water, the transition metal catalyst reacts with persulfate and reduces the persulfate concentration in the water. The composition allows the use of persulfate, which is known to cause irritation to users of aquatic facilities (e.g., pools, spas) that come in contact with it. As the persulfate concentration is reduced rapidly in the water by the catalyzed reaction, the persulfate-containing product may be applied while the aquatic facilities are being used. A free halogen donor may be incorporated into the composition. The composition may be in the form of powder,... |
