| cesium chloride gradient centrifugation | A type of density gradient centrifugation, a lab technique used to separate or purify nucleic acids. It involves putting cesium chloride and the nucleic acids into a centrifuge to be spun for hours or days. The cesium chloride forms a density gradient (highly dense at the bottom, thinnest at the top), and the different nucleic acids separate along the gradient according to their buoyancies in different densities.

| chloride shift | When CO2 enters the blood from the tissues, it passes into the red blood cell and is converted by carbonate dehydratase to bicarbonate (HCO3-); HCO3- ion passes out into the plasma while Cl- migrates into the red blood cell. Reverse changes occur in the lungs when CO2 is eliminated from the blood. Synonym: Hamburger's phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chlorisondamine chloride | 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-2-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-2-methylisoin dolinium chloride;a quaternary ammonium compound with ganglionic blocking action similar to, but more potent than, hexamethonium and pentolinium; used in the management of severe hypertension, including the malignant phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| methacholine chloride | <chemical> A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist. It is used as a parasympathomimetic bronchoconstrictor agent and as a diagnostic aid for bronchial asthma. It has also been used in the treatment of glaucoma and in the treatment of raynaud's syndrome and other vasospastic conditions. Pharmacological action: bronchoconstrictor agent, miotics, muscarinic agonist, parasympathomimetic. Chemical name: 1-Propanaminium, 2-(acetyloxy)-N,N,N-trimethyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
