Buffered salt

Another modification of this process was reported in 1988 (84). In this process, a precondensate of THPC and urea, plus excess urea, are neutralized to a pH of about 5.7, and the buffer salt is added. The fabric is then given a standard pad-dry-cure process followed by oxidation and laundering. The principal advantage of this modification is a reduction in both formaldehyde vapors and phosphine-like odors released during processing (84). 

Composition and Methods of Manufacture. Vaccine is produced from the Oka attenuated strain. Vacciae is produced in human diploid cells such as MRC-5. After growth in the cell substrate, the cells themselves are harvested into the growth medium and sonicated to release the cell-associated vims. Sucrose and buffering salts are generally in the medium to help stabiLize the vims. The vacciae is presented in a free2e-dried vial to be reconstituted with sterile distilled water before injection (27). 

In many patent orHterature descriptions, a stabilized chlorine dioxide solution or component is used or described. These stabilized chlorine dioxide solutions are in actuaHty a near neutral pH solution of sodium chlorite that may contain buffer salts or additives to obtain chlorite stabiHty in the pH 6—10 range. The uv spectra of these solutions is identical to that of sodium chlorite. These pH adjusted chlorite solutions can produce the active chlorine dioxide disinfectant from a number of possible organic or inorganic chemical and microbiological reactions that react, acidify, or catalyze the chlorite ion. 

In addition, buffer salts such as disodium hydrogen phosphate may be used to prevent the pH of the aqueous phase falling during polymerisation. Small amounts of an anti-foam agent may be employed to reduce frothing when discharging from the vessel at the end of the polymerisation process. 

Aqueous GPC can also be semiprepped in manner just like nonaqueous GPC. In this case one must consider carefully the buffers, salts, and biocides used in the eluant. If the fractions are destined for nuclear magnetic resonance experiments it will be imperative to either reduce the salt concentration in the eluant or remove salt after the initial fractionation. Likewise, if the collected samples are destined for infrared (IR) analysis, it is important to choose salts and buffers that have good IR transparency in the wavenumber ranges of interest.

The tightly bound chromophore could be extracted from the protein with methanol [186], and the major component of the extract was determined to have the enediyne structure 116 (Figure 11.21), related to chromophores of other chromoprotein antitumor agents such as neocarzinostatin. Additional minor components were extracted, variously containing an OH group instead of OMe attached to the enediyne core, with Cl instead of OMe when chloride was present in the buffer salt, or with OEt instead of OMe when ethanol was used for the extraction. Another byproduct was isolated in the form of structure 117, consistent with a facile cy-doaromatization reaction as observed for all other enediyne antibiotics. Surprisingly, 117 also displayed antibiotic and antitumor activity, perhaps due to alkylation of DNA or protein by the aziridine. The interpretation of these results was that 116 and the other enediyne byproducts were merely artifacts of the extraction procedure and that the true structure of the maduropeptin chromophore is the aziridine 118. 

The optimum pH for the luminescence reaction is about 7.8, and the luminescence intensity is strongly affected by the buffer salt used... 

In 1971, Hiatt et al. found that polyethylene oxide (PEO) of molecular weight about 100000 prevented the adsorption of rabies virus to porous glass with an average pore diameter of 1250 A. The support was modified by passage of one void volume of 0.4% solution of the polymer in water, followed by 5 or more volumes of distilled water or buffered salt solution. The virus was effectively purified from the admixtures of brain tissue fluid by means of size-exclusion chromatography on the modified glass column [28]. 

The kinetics of decarboxylation of 4-aminosalicylic acid in some buffer solutions at 50 °C were studied. The first-order rate coefficients increased with increasing buffer concentration, though the pH and ionic strength were held constant (Table 217). This was not a salt effect since the rate change produced by substituting potassium chloride for the buffer salt was shown to be much smaller. It follows from the change in the first-order rate coefficients (kx) with... 

In the Phadebas TM amylase test (72) (Pharmacia Labs) the substrate was a water insoluble cross-TTnked blue starch in tablet form which also contains some inert ingredients, sodium and potassium phosphate buffer salts and sodium chloride. This polymer was hydrolyzed by amylase into water soluble blue starch fragments. After centrifugation the absorbance of the blue supernatant was proportional to the activity of amylase present in the test samples. The day to day variation on a quality control serum had a coefficient of variation of 2.7% based on 30 days of data in our laboratory. The method is simple, reproducible and uses microquantities of serum. 

Only PAE, a novel acetyl esterase, could remove acetyl from beet pectin, to a maximum of 30%. This was shown to be one specific acetyl group in theJiomogalacturonan chain of pectin (smooth region) by NMR spectroscopy. PAE activity was influenced by buffer salts and the addition of bivalent cations. PAE worked cooperatively with pectolytic enzymes.

Buffer Salt Solvent Strength and Selectivity Solvent strength and selectivity are influenced by the nature of the counterion i.e., its value. A change in buffer salt may also change the mobile phase pH.

Table 7.89 lists the main characteristics of MDHPLC (see also Table 7.86). In MDHPLC the mobile-phase polarity can be adjusted in order to obtain adequate resolution, and a wide range of selectivity differences can be employed when using the various available separation modes [906]. Some LC modes have incompatible mobile phases, e.g. normal-phase and ion-exchange separations. Potential problems arise with liquid-phase immiscibility precipitation of buffer salts and incompatibilities between the mobile phase from one column and the stationary phase of another (e.g. swelling of some polymeric stationary-phase supports by changes in solvents or deactivation of silica by small amounts of water).

In many drug solutions, it is necessary to use buffer salts in order to maintain the formulation at the optimum pH. These buffer salts can affect the rate of drug degradation in a number of ways. First, a primary salt effect results because of the effect salts have on the activity coefficient of the reactants. At relatively low ionic strengths, the rate constant, k, is related to the ionic strength, p, according to... 

Buffer salts also can exert a secondary salt effect on drug stability. From Table 5 and Fig. 5 it is clear that the rate constant for an ionizable drug is dependent on its pKa. Increasing salt concentrations, particularly from polyelectrolytes such as citrate and phosphate, can substantially affect the magnitude of the pKa, causing a change in the rate constant. (For a review of salt effects, containing many examples from the pharmaceutical literature see Ref. 116.)... 

Klebsiella pneumoniae was is Jated as a representative microorganism from produced water. The bacterium was starved in phosphate buffer salts solutions at concentrations of either 10 /ml or 10 /ml. During starvation periods of up to 24 days the bacterial cells changed in size and shape from rod-shaped, up to 2.2 ym long,...

Other zinc solutions, free of formaldehyde, have been proposed.29 31 All of these simple buffered salt solutions preserve immunoreactivity well and are suitable for DNA, RNA, and proteomics research. Judging by published photomicrographs of hematoxylin and eosin-stained specimens, cytological detail is inferior to that achieved with standard formalin. Nuclei are condensed to the point where many lack chromatin patterns.3132 Such zinc salt solutions may be good for specialized purposes but are best used as special fixatives. To get good structural detail as well, specimens should be split so that a portion can... 

Dissolve the amine-containing molecule to be thiolated at a concentration of lOmg/ml in cold (4°C) 1M sodium bicarbonate (reaction buffer). For proteins, dissolve them in deionized water at a pH of 7.0-7.5, at room temperature. Note The presence of some buffer salts, like phosphate or carbonate, is incompatible with silver nitrate. 

Prepare the samples dissolved in water or non-amine-containing buffer at an expected concentration level that falls within the standard curve range. The assay can tolerate the presence of most buffer salts, denaturants, and detergents. However, the standard curve should be run in the same buffer environment as the samples to obtain consistent response. 

Some procedures recommend the use of water as the solvent in an EDC reaction, while the pH is maintained constant by the addition of HC1. Buffered solutions are more convenient, because the pH does not have to be monitored during the course of the reaction. For acidic pH conjugations, MES [2-(N-morpholino)ethane sulfonic acid] buffer at 0.1 M works well. When doing neutral pH reactions, a phosphate buffer at 0.1 M is appropriate. Any buffers may be used that do not interfere with the reaction, but avoid amine- or carboxylate-containing buffer salts or other components in the medium that may react with the carbodiimide. 

EGS is water-insoluble and must be dissolved in an organic solvent prior to its addition to an aqueous reaction. Prepare a concentrated solution of EGS in DMF or DMSO and add an aliquot of the stock solution to the reaction. Do not exceed a concentration of more than about 10 percent organic solvent in the aqueous reaction buffer or precipitation of buffer salts or protein may occur.
