Disease relevance of tetramethylsilane

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) survey assessed the quality of ultrastructural preservation of a wide range of tissues from the laboratory rat and from a limited number of botanical and fly-larval samples, air-dried from tetramethylsilane (TMS) after chemical fixation and dehydration [1].

High impact information on tetramethylsilane

Diffusion coefficients were measured for motilin, the phospholipids with and without motilin, and for tetramethylsilane [2].
Anisotropic electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra are reported for the radical anions of hexafluorocyclopropane (c-C3F6-), octafluorocyclobutane (c-C4F8-), and decafluorocyclopentane (c-C5F10-) generated via gamma-irradiation in plastically crystalline tetramethylsilane (TMS) and rigid 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) matrices [3].
Further differences arise in solution NMR of proteins and nucleic acids where both 13C and 1H shifts are referenced by recording the frequency of the 1H resonance of DSS (sodium salt of 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulphonic acid) instead of TMS (tetramethylsilane) [4].
In this paper new dosimeters are investigated: a new type of radiochromic film, a micro parallel-plate chamber (filled with both air and tetramethylsilane, TMS), MOSFETs, and TLD-800 microcubes [5].
Using human leukocytes as test specimens, three different drying procedures for scanning electron microscopy: critical-point drying (CPD), Peldri II, and tetramethylsilane (TMS), were compared [6].

Associations of tetramethylsilane with other chemical compounds

For these pure compounds we have found in the literature several data for both the self-diffusion and the dynamic viscosity in large viscosity, diffusion, temperature, and pressure intervals (up to around 500 MPa for methylcyclohexane and tetramethylsilane) [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of tetramethylsilane

Considering the simplicity, convenience, and time saved, air-drying with TMS is by far the best choice for preparing animal cells for scanning electron microscopy [6].
