Real time bleaching of methylene blue or thionine sensitized gelatin

Study · Applied optics · 1991 · DOI 10.1364/AO.30.001196 · PMID 20582128

Plain-language summary

Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.

This study (not a species-based biomedical experiment) investigated the kinetics of bleaching in methylene blue- or thionine-sensitized gelatin plates using a single-beam exposure setup. The abstract reports that thionine bleaching could be modeled by a first-order theory, whereas a higher-order theory was needed to describe methylene blue bleaching.

Abstract

The kinetics of bleaching of methylene blue or thionine sensitized gelatin plates are investigated with a singlebeam exposure experiment. It is found that thionine bleaching can be modeled by a first-order theory; whereas, a higher-order theory is found necessary to explain methylene blue bleaching.

pepmg summarizes the peer-reviewed literature and links to every source. It sells nothing and ships nothing. Where an FDA label, a peer-reviewed study or a clinical-trial registry entry (labeled trial registry, not peer-reviewed) has published a dose, pepmg reports it with the source named; it gives no personalized recommendations and no administration technique. Don't just trust this summary: follow the citation to its source and read it yourself. Research use only.
