As previously indicated, test methods and standards for bioequivalency determinations are continuing to evolve. In this section of the chapter consideration is given to some of the issues in this areas that presently confront us. In some instances the topics are essentially technical in nature. In others, financial implications introduce political aspects that do not simplify the situation. It seems likely that while some of these questions may be resolved in the relatively near future, others may require years of debate and exploration before a final resolution is achieved.

Other authors (e.g., G10, W18) define the unit as micromoles X 10-3 NADPH2 (or NADH2) formed per 1.00ml enzyme solution diluted by the indicated test volume per hour, or as the quantity of enzyme in the test system reducing 0.01 pinole NADP (or NAD) per minute at a given temperature. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the unit be defined as the number of micromoles of substrate converted per milliliter of serum per one hour at room temperature. 

Bioassays can be used to assess the effect of molecular heterogeneity due to glycosylation, whereas ELISA cannot. The sensitivity of the bioassay and ELISA are often comparable. Both methods can be used as stability-indicating test methods. 

If the results of indicator tests, e.g., DNA binding and SCE, are not supported by results obtained in tests for mutagenicity, the results of mutagenicity tests are generally of higher signihcance. 

Indicator Test Paper for Detecting Stability of Double-Base Propellants. Approx 60 commercially available dyes were investigated in experimental indicator test papers. Laboratory surveillance tests indicated that 3 of these selected for further evaluation were less sensitive to double-base propint degredation products than N/10 Methyl Violet paper. The order of sensitivity was as follows N/10 Methyl Violet,... 

Having performed the yield stress test, each category is then divided into static or dynamic methods. Dynamic methods indicate an actual flow test of a certain type, whereas the static methods indicate tests such as rotational flow between two cylinders. 

Chemical investigations are rather time consuming. Therefore an indicative test, in which the indicator ion is the chloride ion (Ch), to get information about the status of the water system quickly.

Neutralize the solution with ammonia up to a weakly acidic reaction (pH 3-4), using methyl red as an indicator. Test with the indicator as follows apply several drops of it onto filter paper placed on a glass plate, and in the course of neutralizing the solution being tested take a sample of it with a glass rod and transfer it onto the filter paper with the indicator. 

Two general methods for testing air impurities are in use. One involves direct-reading instruments (such as thermal indicators, test paper indicators and other devices described in Ref 16, pp 245-53), the other involves removal of the impurity from a given vol of air and determination of the impurity by a suitable lab method. 

The dynamic abrasion method opens broad possibilities of strength estimation of faience lining tiles (Table 8.6, Fig. 8.5). One could reasonably expect that products, for which the hardness of the glazed side is low, lack a developed intermediate layer. This has actually been confirmed in microscope tests. Both the Japanese tile (DK) and the Kenyan tile manufactured on Japanese technology conspicuously lack the intermediate layer. The cited indicative tests provided a basis for employing the dynamic abrasion... 

Immediately following the initial assembly (and at any other time leaks are suspected), the box and purification train should be tested for leaks. A quick test for leaks is to pressurize the dry box until the gloves stick straight out. The gloves should remain in this position for several hours if no leaks are present. If leaks are indicated, testing is most easily accomplished while the box is pressurized. If the inert atmosphere is helium, the preferred method is the helium sniff test. All joints, welds, and connections should be checked. In the absences of a helium-sensitive probe or if the inert atmosphere is other than helium, the bubble method may be used a small amount of soapy water is placed on leak-prone welds and joints and the appearance of any bubbles is noted. 

Pure activated aluminas are also capable of catalyzing the skeletal isomerization of olefins (104, 105), but at considerably higher temperatures (350°-400°C) than those required for double-bond isomerization. The results obtained by Pines and Haag (105,106) leave little doubt that this type of isomerization is acid catalyzed. They found that (a) skeletal isomerization of cyclohexane or 3,3-dimethylbutene-l over pure alumina was poisoned upon ammonia addition and (b) the order of appearance of products from 3,3-dimethylbutene-l isomerization as contact time is increased was that predicted from carbonium ion theory. They also used indicator tests to show that the seat of acid activity in -y-alumina consists of Lewis, not Br0nsted, acidity. Independent infrared studies of pyridine chemisorbed on pure alumina have verified the existence of Lewis acidity and the absence of Brpnsted acidity in pure alumina (23, 107).

Figure 1. Example of analyses and decisions made in a stepwise experiment. The numbers in the boxes refer to factors and each box represents a test of the indicated group or individual factor. Dashed and solid boxes indicate tests in which factors are determined to be not active and active, respectively asterisks indicate points at which individual active factors are discovered.

A. The use of indicators and indicator test papers An indicator is a substance which varies in colour according to the hydrogen-ion concentration. It is generally a weak organic acid or weak base employed in a very dilute solution. The undissociated indicator acid or base has a different colour to the dissociated product. In the case of an indicator acid, Hind, dissociation takes place according to the equilibrium...
