Classification sample preparation

In one study by Hood et al., 282 of 1153 identified proteins were identified by at least 2 unique tryptic peptides from FFPE prostate cancer (PCa) tissue.9 According to the gene ontology classification of the proteins identified, -65% of proteins were predicted to be intracellular proteins, while -50% of the total human proteome is predicted to be located in the intracellular compartment. Additionally, 20% of the proteins identified in the PCa tissue were classified as membrane proteins, which is significantly less than the predicted 40% for the human proteome. This relative disparity is not unexpected, considering the Liquid Tissue sample preparation kit lacks specific protocols for membrane protein extraction. The Liquid Tissue method has also been used for proteomics studies of a variety of FFPE tissue samples, including pancreatic tumors,28 squamous cell carcinoma,4 and oral human papillomavirus lesions.27... 

MS has recently been used to measure compounds with significant levels of impurities and solubilities below the quantitation limits of other methods. Guo et al.46 described the use of LC/MS for solubility measurements in buffer solutions in a 96-well plate. Fligge et al.47 discussed an automated high-throughput method for classification of compound solubility. They integrated a Tecan robotic system for sample preparation in 384-well plates and fast LC/MS for concentration measurement. This approach is limited by LC/MS throughput.

A particular paragraph is devoted to some specific requirements for FFF cell sorting, such as sample preparation or separator poisoning. The battery of cell population or cell subpopulation characterization methods will be described with an FFF-dependent classification physical methods compared to functional ones. Finally, experimental correlations between functional and physical cell characteristics lead to the isolation of very specific populations, thereby opening the field of cellulomics. In this report, it is assumed that readers have a basic knowledge of separation sciences, in particular, in chromatography and FFF.

The isotherms for samples prepared by impregnation (both simultaneous and consecutive) belong to type II in the lUPAC classification [15]. In all cases, a type H3 hysteresis loop, originated by particle aggregates forming slit-like pores, is observed. 

Typical N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms of the Ti02 samples calcined at 773 K are shown in Fig. 3. The isotherms of Ti02 samples prepared in EtOH are of a type IV characteristic of mesoporous materials according to the lUPAC classification with an H2 hysteresis-loop. However, larger mesoporous structures are obtained in cyclohexane. 

A breakdown into finer classification is more useful and such a summary listing of techniques for the quantitative determination of elements is given in Table 2.4 (Ihnat 1994, 2000d, Ihnat et al. 2001, Dybc-zynski et al. 1997, Mavrodineanu 1977, Pszonicki and Hanna 1985, Quevauviller etal. 1993). The compilation is by several of the common, major determinative methodologies with further subdivisions into more specific techniques and includes abbreviations. It is by no means a comprehensive documentation (left for a future classification activity) which would include additional major and subtle variants as well as the latest and automated sample preparation and measurement techniques.
