Dilution integrity

Dilution Integrity To check dilution integrity, a QC sample prepared at a concentration greater than the ULOQ is analyzed using dilution in blank matrix. Acceptable assay precision and accuracy are required. 

Experiment. Two levels of Dilution QC are required. The Dilution QC for dilution integrity is typically at lOx of the High QC. The Dilution QC for dilution linearity should be at a concentration above projected maximum concentration (C ). If the projected Cmix is not available, the recommended concentration would be 50x or lOOx of High QC. To test dilution integrity or linearity, the Dilution QCs need to be diluted at dilution factor (DF) of 10, 50 or 100 to bring the final concentration within the range. It may require multiple steps of dilution. This experiment only needs to be conducted once per each validation.

Alcohol groups absorb from 3000 to 3700 cm-1 as broad bands due to associations with hydrogen bonds9,120 121. However, in dilute CS2 120,122 or CC , 5118> solutions, the absorption at 3615 cm-1 can be compared with standard solution of 4-penten-l-ol, 4-penten-2-ol15, or cetyl alcohol120). When associations are not suppressed by dilution, integration of the absorption between 3200 and 3700 cm-1 is possible 122).

The vibration frequencies of C-H bond are noticeably higher for gaseous thiazole than for its dilute solutions in carbon tetrachloride or tor liquid samples (Table 1-27). The molar extinction coefficient and especially the integrated intensity of the same peaks decrease dramatically with dilution (203). Inversely, the y(C(2jH) and y(C(5(H) frequencies are lower for gaseous thiazole than for its solutions, and still lower than for liquid samples (cf. Table 1-27). 

Hydroxides. Thorium (TV) is generally less resistant to hydrolysis than similarly sized lanthanides, and more resistant to hydrolysis than tetravalent ions of other early actinides, eg, U, Np, and Pu. Many of the thorium(IV) hydrolysis studies indicate stepwise hydrolysis to yield monomeric products of formula Th(OH) , where n is integral between 1 and 4, in addition to a number of polymeric species (40—43). More recent potentiometric titration studies indicate that only two of the monomeric species, Th(OH) " and thorium hydroxide [13825-36-0], Th(OH)4, are important in dilute (<10 M Th) solutions (43). However, in a Th02 [1314-20-1] solubiUty study, the best fit to the experimental data required inclusion of the species. Th(OH) 2 (44). In more concentrated (>10 Af) solutions, polynuclear species have been shown to exist. Eor example, a more recent model includes the dimers Th2(OH) " 2 the tetramers Th4(OH) " g and Th4(OH) 2 two hexamers, Th2(OH) " 4 and Th2(OH) " 2 (43). 

The second (integral) terms represent the numbers of transfer units for an infinitely dilute gas. The first terms, frequently amounting to only small corrections, give the effect of a finite level of gas concen-t rati on. 

The simplest possible case occurs when (1) both the operating and the equilibrium hues are straight (i.e., there are dilute solutions), (2) Henry s law is valid y /x = yifXj = m), and (3) absorption heat effects are negligible. Under these conditions, the integral term in Eq. (14-20) may be computed by Colburn s equation [Trans. Am. Jn.st. Chem. Eng., 35,211 (1939)] ... 

In these equations, the first term is a correction for finite liqiiid-phase concentrations, and the integral term represents the numbers of transfer units required for dilute solutions. It would be very unusual in practice to find an example in which the first (logarithmic) term is of any significance in a stripper design. 

For dilute solutions in which both the operating and the equilibrium lines are straight and in which heat effects can be neglected, the integral term in Eq. (14-27) is... 

Under the above assumptions for dilute systems Eq. (14-70) can be integrated as follows ... 

Each extremal trajectory includes n kink-antikink pairs, where n is an arbitrary integer, and the kink centers are placed at the moments 0 < tj < < tin < P forming the instanton gas (fig. 22). Its contribution to the overall path integral may be calculated in exactly the same manner as was done in the previous subsection, with the assumption that the instanton gas is dilute, i.e., the kinks are independent of each other.
