title: Colorimetric assay for pluronic F-68 as measured in isolated rat liver perfusion systems.
abstract: A colorimetric assay has been developed for the quantitation of Pluronic F-68, a nonionic detergent (surfactant) which is a polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene (POP-POE) block copolymer. We measured this substance in organic extracts of rat liver perfusates from livers which had been perfused with an oxygenated perfluorocarbon, FC-43 Emulsion (Oxypherol).
