| PICD | primary irritant contact dermatitis |
| STANDOUT | soft thresholding and depth cueing of unspecified techniques |
| URD | unspecified respiratory disease; upper respiratory disease |
| basic dyes | Dye's which ionise in solution to give positively charged ions or cations; the auxochrome group is an amine which can form a salt with an acid like HCl; solutions are usually slightly acidic; examples include basic fuchsin and toluidine blue O. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| chlorotriazine dyes | Dyes containing one or more chlorotriazine moieties that react with polysaccharides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rosanilin dyes | Several triaminotriphenylmethane dye's or mixtures of them often sold under the name of basic fuchsin; rosanilin dye's differ from other triphenylmethane dye's in that the amino groups are unsubstituted, and they may have methyl groups introduced directly onto the benzene rings; the four possible such dyes are pararosanilin, rosanilin, new fuchsin, and magenta II. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rosaniline dyes | Any dye or mixture of dyes made from rosaniline, a red triphenylmethane aniline derivative; used to colour fabrics, paper and as biological stain; also used as disinfectant and topical antifungal agent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phthalein dyes | Coloured condensation products of phenols with phthalic anhydride; some are used in dye dilution methods to determine kidney or liver function; others are used as pH indicators in chemistry; phenolphthalein is an effective mild cathartic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hair dyes | Dyes used as cosmetics to change hair colour either permanently or temporarily. (12 Dec 1998) |
| xanthene dyes | Derivatives of the compound xanthene; include the pyronins, rhodamines, and fluoresceins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| natural dyes | Dye's obtained from animals or plants; examples include carmine, obtained from cochineal in the dried female insect Dactylopius cacti of Central America, and haematoxylin, extracted from the bark of the logwood tree Haematoxylon campechianum in the Caribbean area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synthetic dyes | Organic dye compounds originally derived from coal-tar derivatives; presently produced by synthesis from benzene and its derivatives; examples include eosin, methylene blue, and fluorescein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphenylmethane dyes | Dye's in which the central carbon connecting two phenyl groups lacks an amino or imino group; the chromophore is the quinoid ring; an alternative formulation is as a ketonimide; the most common example is auramine O. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dyes | Coloured chemical substances that impart more or less permanent colour to other materials. They are used for staining and colouring, as test reagents, and as therapeutic agents in medicine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxazin dyes | Similar to azin dye's except that one of the connecting N atoms is replaced by O; most important representatives are brilliant cresyl blue, orcein, litmus, and cresyl violet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thiazin dyes | Similar to azin dye's except that one of the connecting N atoms is replaced by S; includes many important biological stains, especially in haematology, e.g., azure A, azure B, and methylene blue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triphenylmethane dyes | A group of dye's that includes pararosanilin, as well as many others used in histology and cytology; employed as nuclear, cytoplasmic, and connective tissue stains; important in histochemistry as in the preparation of Schiff's reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ketonimine dyes | Dye's in which the chromophore is ==C==NH connected to two benzene rings; alkylamino groups are added para to the methane carbon on both rings. The most important member for biological purposes is auramine O; an alternative formulation is as a diphenylmethane dye. (05 Mar 2000) |
