Fig. 1From: Particulates formed in dialysis fluid: effect of silica in tap waterSEM image and EDS mapping of particles in online prepared substitution fluid. SEM image and EDS mapping of particles in online prepared substitution fluid sampled from the final ETRF after 3 months of use, commercial sterile substitution fluid, and 5% glucose injection. In EDS mapping (elemental analysis), brown is C, pink is O, and turquois blue is Si. SEM, scanning electron microscopy; EDS, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry; ETRF, endotoxin-retentive filtersBack to article page
