Dissolved standards

Dissolve in vitro alkylated standard DNA and unmodified DNA in TE buffer (0.3 mg/mL). Prepare a standard curve by making serial dilu-dons. The DNA solutions can be stored at 4°C for several days. In order to minimize depurinadon of alkylated DNA, the dissolved standards should be aliquoted and frozen at -20°C for long-term storage. 

The cloud point, usually between 0 and -10°C, is determined visually (as in NF T 07-105). It is equal to the temperature at which paraffin crystals normally dissolved in the solution of all other components, begin to separate and affect the product clarity. The cloud point can be determined more accurately by differential calorimetry since crystal formation is an exothermic phenomenon, but as of 1993 the methods had not been standardized. 

Ammonia may be estimated by dissolving the gas in a known volume of standard acid and then back-titrating the excess acid. In a method widely used for the determination of basic nitrogen in organic substances (the Kjeldahl method), the nitrogenous material is converted into ammonium sulphate by heating with concentrated sulphuric acid. The ammonia is then driven off by the action of alkali and absorbed in standard acid. 

Since the net free energy change for the cycle is zero, the difference between the computable free energies for transforming L to if, when bound to protein and when dissolved in water, is equal to the difference between the measurable standard free energies of binding L and if to protein, i.e., the difference in affinity...

The method is generally applicable when other modes of esterification are either slow, inefficient, or likely to cause isomerisation it is, however, time-consuming and expensive. Small quantities of acid impurities are sometimes produced, hence it is advisable to wash the ester with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The silver salt can usually be prepared by dissolving the acid in the calculated quantity of standard ammonium hydroxide solution and... 

These are crystalline compounds with sharp melting points, and possess the further advantage that their equivalent weights may be determined by dissolving in dilute alcohol and titrating with standard alkali. Nitro-phenols, however, give unsatisfactory derivatives. 

To determine the exact peroxide content of benzoyl peroxide (and of other organic peroxides) the following procedure may be employed.

Introduce a known weight or volume of the chloroform solution of perbenzoic acid and shake vigorously. Titrate the liberated iodine with standard O lA sodium thiosulphate solution in the usual manner. 

The m.p. is not always a safe criterion of purity. Benzoyl peroxide may be analysed as follows -. Dissolve about 0-6 g., accurately weighed, of benzoyl peroxide in Is ml. of chloroform in a 350 ml. conical flask. Cool to — 5°, and add 25 ml. of 0- IN sodium methoxide solution at once with cooling and shaking. After 5 minutes at — 5°, add 100 ml. of iced water, 5 ml. of 10 per cent, sulphuric acid, and 2 g. of potassium iodide in 20 ml. of 10 per cent, sulphuric acid in the order mentioned with vigorous stirring. Titrate the liberated iodine with standard 0-lN sodium thiosulphate solution. 

The column (or line entry) headed a gives the volume of gas (in milliliters) measured at standard conditions (0°C and 760 mm or 101.325 kN dissolved in 1 mL of water at the temperature stated (in degrees Celsius) and when the pressure of the gas without that of the water vapor is 760 mm. The line entry A indicates the same quantity except that the gas itself is at the uniform pressure of 760 mm when in equilibrium with water. 

To prepare the standard pH buffer solutions recommended by the National Bureau of Standards (U.S.), the indicated weights of the pure materials in Table 8.15 should be dissolved in water of specific conductivity not greater than 5 micromhos. The tartrate, phthalate, and phosphates can be dried for 2 h at 100°C before use. Potassium tetroxalate and calcium hydroxide need not be dried. Fresh-looking crystals of borax should be used. Before use, excess solid potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium hydroxide must be removed. Buffer solutions pH 6 or above should be stored in plastic containers and should be protected from carbon doxide with soda-lime traps. The solutions should be replaced within 2 to 3 weeks, or sooner if formation of mold is noticed. A crystal of thymol may be added as a preservative.

Because of the risk of lead poisoning, the exposure of children to lead-based paint is a significant public health concern. The first step in the quantitative analysis of lead in dried paint chips is to dissolve the sample. Corl evaluated several dissolution techniques. " In this study, samples of paint were collected and pulverized with a Pyrex mortar and pestle. Replicate portions of the powdered paint were then taken for analysis. Results for an unknown paint sample and for a standard reference material, in which dissolution was accomplished by a 4-6-h digestion with HNO3 on a hot plate, are shown in the following table.

One standard method for determining the dissolved O2 content of natural waters and wastewaters is the Winkler method. A sample of water is collected in a fashion that prevents its exposure to the atmosphere (which might change the level of dissolved O2). The sample is then treated with a solution of MnS04, and then with a solution of NaOH and KI. Under these alkaline conditions Mn + is oxidized to Mn02 by the dissolved oxygen.
