Real time bleaching of methylene blue or thionine sensitized gelatin
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.
