Abstract
An apparatus is described for the study of foam formation in double contrast preparations [for human mucosal coating] in vitro. Antifoaming agents are of considerable benefit to the Ba double contrast technique, silicone and silicone-free antifoamers being equally effective. Silicone antifoamers are preferred because of their wide clinical acceptability. Antifoamer formulation and concentration are critical factors in determining efficacy of foam suppression, and may lead to erroneous results in the clinic.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
