A common example of a sensitizer is allergic contact dermatitis caused by substances like nickel, latex, or specific chemicals in cosmetics or personal care products. These substances can trigger an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals when they come in contact with the skin.

It is a radiation sensitizer


What is the standard mixing of photo emulsion and sensitizer?

The standard mixing ratio of photo emulsion and sensitizer is typically 1 part sensitizer to 12 parts photo emulsion. This combination allows for proper light sensitivity and adhesion to the screen mesh for effective screen printing. It is important to mix thoroughly and follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.


Will a single exposure to a sensitizer cause an immediate reaction?

No, a single exposure to a sensitizer typically does not cause an immediate reaction. Sensitization is a process where the immune system develops a response to the substance over time, leading to an allergic reaction upon subsequent exposures.


The first exposure to a sensitizer will cause an immediate reaction?

No. Most times it will happen after one or more times.

Additional exposures to a sensitizer will cause more serve reactions?

Repeated exposures to a sensitizer can lead to the body developing a stronger immune response, potentially resulting in more severe allergic reactions upon subsequent contact with the substance. It is important to avoid further exposure to known sensitizers to prevent worsening of allergic reactions.


Is neon used to make glow sticks?

No a glow stick contains two chemicals and a suitable fluorescent dye (sensitizer, or fluorophor). The chemicals in the glass vial are a mixture of the dye and diphenyl oxalate.


A particular sensitizer can absorb photons of one wavelength and release photons of a longer wavelength Why must the radiation be at a longer wavelength?

First, consider the relationship between wavelength and energy and reformulate the premise in terms of energy. Then, study fluorescence, the process in which a molecule absorbs a photon and releases a subsequent photon at a longer wavelength. In fluorescence, energy must be conserved. The total energy absorbed must be equal to the total energy released by the excited molecule (sensitizer). The question is asking, for example, if a sensitizer absorbs a photon with energy of 3 eV and releases a photon of 2.5 eV, where did the missing 0.5 eV go? This question comes directly from the laboratory manual for the introductory chemistry courses at the University of Alabama. For those students attempting to find an easy answer without putting forth any effort, i.e. cheat, you'll have to look elsewhere. - Mr. E.


Is benzyl benzoate skin irritant?

Yes, benzyl benzoate can cause skin irritation for some individuals. It is a known skin sensitizer and can cause allergic reactions in certain people. It's recommended to perform a patch test before using products containing benzyl benzoate to check for any sensitivity.


How does metformin work?

Metformin is an anti-hyperglycemic. It is known as an insulin sensitizer in that it allows for glucose to be more sensitive to the insulin that a Type 2 diabetic makes allowing for more glucose to be taken in and used by the cell. Meformin also decreases the amount of glucose made by the liver as well as decreases the absorption of glucose in the small intestine.


What is methronidazole used for?

A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS. It has also been proposed as a radiation sensitizer for hypoxic cells. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985, p133), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck, 11th ed).Link to reference above...http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=4173
