Trace Level Arsenic Quantification through Methyl Red Bromination [PDF]
A simple protocol has been developed for the quantification of trace level arsenic through methyl red bromination. The proposed method is based on the oxidation of arsenic(III) to arsenic(V) by the bromine and the residual bromine’s reaction with methyl ...

Archeomicrobiology applied to environmental samples
The study of ancient microorganisms represents one of the main ways to understand how microbes have evolved to date, especially those associated with humans or ecosystems of interest. However, these studies are always tedious because the viability of the microbes is difficult to maintain and the degradation of their DNA, can make their detection ...
