Figures & data

Figure 1.  The set-up used for measuring oxygen absorption. The vials on the left contain one of the PFC emulsions and the vials on the right contain the blank formulation.

Figure 3.  The particle-size distribution of DDFPe for 6 months at 23°C ±2°C. The error bars represent one standard deviation of the triplicate measurements. The open diamonds represent measurements of less than 2% of the particle distribution at that timepoint.

Figure 4.  The amount of oxygen absorbed by 5 mL injections of DDFPe (triangles), PFDe (diamonds), PFOBe (squares), and the formulation blank (open circles) at 21C (blue) and 37C (red) over the course of 60 minutes.
