Preservatives in non-cosmetic products: Increasing human exposure requires action for protection of health. [PDF]
The massive increase in use of preservatives is alarming. The substances in this study represent a ‘tip of the iceberg’. Urgent action is needed for protection of health. Knowledge about exposure to preservatives is mainly related to cosmetics, while use in non‐cosmetic products is broad, increasing and often undisclosed.

Determination of Benzalkonium Chloride in a Disinfectant by UV Spectrophotometry and Gas and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Validation, Comparison of Characteristics, and Economic Feasibility. [PDF]
Simple, fast, and validated UV‐spectrophotometric, HPLC, and GC methods for the analysis of benzalkonium chloride in a disinfectant were developed. UV‐spectrophotometric determination was based on measuring the amount of light absorption of aqueous solutions of benzalkonium chloride at 268 nm. HPLC determination was achieved with a 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0

Improved methods for detection of β-galactosidase (lacZ) activity in hard tissue [PDF]
The ß-galactosidase gene (lacZ) of Escherichia coli is widely used as a reporter gene. The expression of lacZ can be detected by enzyme-based histochemical staining using chromogenic substrates such as 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-ß-D: -galactoside (X-gal).
