Description

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a polysaccharide that is used as a thickener and emulsifier in the pharmaceutical industry. It has been shown to be effective in treating human serum with detrusor muscle contractions. HEC is also used as a negative control for experiments involving the effect of drugs on HIV infection. When mixed with isoxsuprine hydrochloride, HEC can be used to measure the concentration of basic proteins in human serum. The fluorescence probe can bind to specific regions of the protein, which will cause an increase in fluorescence when exposed to a wavelength of light. The optimum concentration of HEC for binding fluorescence probes was found using Langmuir adsorption isotherm measurements and fluorescence detector experiments. HEC has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent against bacteria and fungi, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The benzalkonium chloride in HEC may
