Abstract:
This study describes the development of a novel method of three dimensional perfused cell culture for in vitro toxicity testing. Multiple parallel perfused microbioreactors (TissueFlex<sup>TM</sup>) were adopted to provide a well-controlled cell culture environment. Alginate and collagen type I, commonly used as hydrogel scaffolds to support cell culture, were tested as the scaffolding materials for this application. Alginate supports cell proliferation, but does not support cell attachment. Collagen gel (type I), good for cell attachment but with poor mechanical strength, could be used at the

Abstract:
Exposure to air contaminants is significantly associated with both short-term and long-term health effects. However, the precise mechanisms that derive such effects are not always understood. While an extensive background database from in vivo toxicological studies have been developed, most toxicity data is from oral and dermal chemical exposures rather than inhalation exposure. There is a need to explore new alternative approaches to provide toxicity information particularly on this technically demanding area.

Abstract:
Botulism is a foodborne intoxication caused by ingestion of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Preliminary studies focussed on the production of polyclonal antisera against BoNT/E by immunizing a rabbit with botulinal toxoid type E. The antiserum was subsequently used to detect BoNT/E using the slot blot immunoassay where samples were applied to a slot blot filtration manifold and drawn by vacuum through a membrane. The membrane was then immunologically processed before chemiluminescent detection. However, the antisera lacked specificity and cross-reacted with closely related clostridia

Abstract:
22 zwitterionic compounds (10 short-chain surfactants; 12 non-surfactants) were synthesised obeying the general formula R-N+(CH3)2(CH2)nSO3', where n = 2 to 4, by reacting the corresponding N, N-dimethylamines with either sodium-2-chloroethane sulfonate (n = 2), 1, 3- propanesulfonate (n = 3) or 1,4-butanesulfonate (n = 4). The R group varied from a C6 to C12 alkyl chain, to a phenylalkyl unit bearing a Cl to C4 chain and finally to a phenylpropyl unit with a C4 to C6 para-substituted alkyl group. Octanol/water partition coefficients of the 22 sulfobetaines were determined by a conventional st

Abstract:
Aquatic toxicology has been identified as a valuable tool in the identification and management of chemical pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Standardised methodologies for acute aquatic bioassays have been adopted from international agencies. As a result of these standard methods, the use of laboratory cultured organisms for toxicity testing has been more popular than that of indigenous field-caught organisms. Included in these adopted methods are those for the cultured crustacean Daphnia pUlex. D.pulex is adapted to living in standing water and the suitability of this species to determine toxi
