##STR00001##

The disclosure relates to the field of fluorescent dyes, and provides a fluorescent dye with phenanthridine and benzothiazole conjugated. The fluorescent dye has the following structural formula: ##STR00001##
Through the above technical solution, the problems in the prior art that the fluorescent dye is susceptible to interference from other charged substances in a solution when detecting DNA so as not to be simultaneously applied to a blue light meter and an ultraviolet gel imager are solved.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an adhesive precursor, comprising a first part (A) comprising: a first epoxy curing agent comprising at least one polyether amine and having an amine equivalent weight of at least 55 grams per mole of amine equivalents; a second epoxy curing agent distinct from the first epoxy curing agent or a secondary curative; a metal salt catalyst; and optionally, a toughening agent; a second part (B) comprising: a first epoxy resin; a second epoxy-based resin distinct from the first epoxy resin; at least one phosphorous-based first flame retardant; a core-shell polymer toughening agent; optionally an epoxy-based reactive diluent; and optionally, a filler material; wherein the total amount of the flame retardant system is lower than 25 wt. % of the total curable adhesive precursor.

A method and an ejection device are provided for discharging contaminants out of a seal chamber of a rotating-fluid machine driving a main flow of contaminated fluid. The ejection device incorporates an obstacle for arresting a portion of the flow in the seal chamber to stagnation pressure, whereby a zone of fluid at stagnation pressure is created. A discharge passage is disposed in the seal chamber adjacent to a region of concentration of contaminants and in the zone of stagnation pressure created by the obstacle, whereby contaminants are pumped out via the discharge passage into the main driven flow. The discharge passage is disposed upstream of the obstacle and provides fluid communication between the seal chamber and a process side of the machine. The method and the ejection device are operative with a machine driving fluid in clockwise direction, in counterclockwise direction, and in both clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
