| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, adapted from the Gomori-Jones periodic acid-methenamine-silver stain; it produces silver deposits in mature saccules of the Golgi apparatus, lysosomal vesicles, cell coat, and basement membranes.

| chromic phosphate P 32 colloidal suspension | A pure beta-emitting colloidal, nonabsorbable radiopharmaceutical administered into body cavities such as the pleural or peritoneal spaces to control malignant effusions. See: sodium phosphate P 32. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetyl chloride | CH3COCl;a colourless liquid used as a reagent; also corrosive, causing severe burns because of hydrolysis to HCl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetylcholine chloride | A miotic, administered as an ophthalmic solution for parasympathomimetic effect; used in cataract surgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcuronium chloride | N,N'-Diallylnortoxiferinium dichloride;a skeletal muscle relaxant active as a nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ambenonium chloride | <chemical> A quaternary ammonium compound that is an inhibitor of cholinesterase activity with actions similar to those of neostigmine, but of longer duration. Ambenonium is given by mouth in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Pharmacological action: cholinesterase inhibitor, parasympathomimetic. Chemical name: Benzenemethanaminium, N,N'-((1,2-dioxo-1,2-ethanediyl)bis(imino-2,1-ethanediyl))bis(2-chloro-N,N-diethyl-, dichloride (12 Dec 1998) |
| ammoniated mercuric chloride | Used in ointment for the treatment of skin diseases. Synonym: ammoniated mercuric chloride, white mercuric precipitate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ammonium chloride | <chemical> Ammonium chloride, (nh4)cl. A systemic acidifying agent that has been used as a diuretic and an expectorant. Chemical name: Ammonium chloride ((NH4)Cl) (12 Dec 1998) |
| antimony chloride | SbCl3;combines with vitamin A to form a blue compound and with beta-carotene to form a green one, as a method for assay of these substances; also used externally as a caustic. Synonym: antimony chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| barium chloride | Formerly used as a heart tonic and for varicose veins; extremely toxic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benzalkonium chloride | A mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides in which the alkyls are long-chain compounds (C8 to C18); a surface-active germicide for many pathogenic nonsporulating bacteria and fungi. Aqueous solutions of this agent have a low surface tension, and possess detergent, keratolytic, and emulsifying properties that aid the penetration and wetting of tissue surfaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
