Medical - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng | | Italian term or phrase: agente bloccante della diffusione di reazione | This is term is part of a list of items that are included in a diagnosis kit.
Is a blocking agent the same thing as a buffer?
Surely a blocking agent does not 'diffuse'' a reaction i.e. cause a reaction to spread - I thought its role is to STOP reactions from occuring?!!!
Thanks in advance for your help! |
| | | reaction-diffusion blocking agent | Explanation:
Hi, it's not exactly the chemical field we were operating, but a blocking agent is a class of drugs that inhibit some biological processes, whereas the buffer in chemistry is defined as: Chemistry A substance that minimizes change in the acidity of a solution when an acid or base is added to the solution (www.thefreedictionary.com/buffer).
Reaction-diffusion is an equation-based model used to compare for ex. which of two chemicals is diffusing better.
Hope it is OK.
Ciao, Manuela |
