Injection preparation method

Gas Chromatography Analysis. From a sensitivity standpoint, a comparable technique is a gas chromatographic (gc) technique using flame ioni2ation detection. This method has been used to quantify the trimethylsilyl ester derivative of biotin in agricultural premixes and pharmaceutical injectable preparations at detection limits of approximately 0.3 pg (94,95). 

Direct injection of plasma or supernatant after protein precipitation on a short column with a high liquid flow rate is a common method for reducing analysis time in the pharmaceutical industry. The direct injection of a sample matrix is also known as the dilute-and-shoot (DAS) approach.62 DAS can be applied to all types of matrices and approaches and is the simplest sample preparation method with matrix dependency. Direct injection can also be approached through the extraction of eluent from PPT, SPE, and LLE onto a normal phase analytical column. The procedure is called hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)70110111 and it avoids the evaporation and reconstitution steps that may cause loss of samples from heat degradation and absorption. 

Although some types of pharmaceutical products, like ophthalmic and injectable preparations, are sterilized by physical methods, including autoclaving, dry heat, or by bacterial filtration during their manufacture, many of them additionally require the presence of an antimicrobial preservative to maintain their aseptic condition throughout the period of their storage and use. Other types of preparations that are not sterilized during their...

You need to decide the goal of an analysis before developing a chromatographic method. The key to successful chromatography is to have a clean sample. Solid-phase microextraction, purge and trap, and thermal desorption can isolate volatile components from complex matrices. After the sample preparation method has been chosen, the remaining decisions for method development are to select a detector, a column, and the injection method, in that order. 

One of the major drawbacks of liposomes is related to their preparation methods [3,4]. Liposomes for topical delivery are prepared by the same classic methods widely described in the literature for preparation of these vesicles. The majority of the liposome preparation methods are complicated multistep processes. These methods include hydration of a dry lipid film, emulsification, reverse phase evaporation, freeze thaw processes, and solvent injection. Liposome preparation is followed by homogenization and separation of unentrapped drug by centrifugation, gel filtration, or dialysis. These techniques suffer from one or more drawbacks such as the use of solvents (sometimes pharmaceutically unacceptable), an additional sizing process to control the size distribution of final products (sonication, extrusion), multiple-step entrapment procedure for preparing drug-containing liposomes, and the need for special equipment. 

Apart from thermodesorption, all other sample preparation techniques are normally directed toward production of a liquid extract that is subsequently injected into a GC/MS system. For the simplest of the samples, neat organic liquids or concentrated solutions, the sample preparation method will consist of diluting the sample with a suitable, clean solvent (most often dichloromethane). 

These semi-preparative methods are useful where identification is required but for quantitative and comparative analytical purposes much more rapid sampling techniques, such as automated headspace and solid phase microextraction (SPME), may be preferred. Both of these techniques give similar results for most volatiles. In the former, the vapour above a heated sample is removed by a syringe or gas flushing and injected onto a GC column, either directly or after trapping on a suitable absorbent and thermal desorption. In SPME, the vapour is absorbed on to a suitable bonded medium on a special needle and then injected into the gas chromatogram.

UV decomposition is a clean sample preparation method, as it does not require the use of large amounts of oxidants. Furthermore, UV decomposition is effective and can be readily incorporated into flow injection manifolds. The sample flows, in the presence of H2O2, H2SO4, or HNO3, through a tube (PTFE, quartz) coiled around a fixed UV lamp(s). A short review of such flow systems has appeared recently [101]. Analyzers of this kind are produced by Skalar Analytical (Holland), for example. 

SPME is a patented sample preparation method for GC applications (32-36). The solvent-free technique was developed in 1989 by Janusz Pawliszyn (http. /Avww.science.uwaterloo.ca/ -janusz/spme.html) at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and a manual device made by Supelco, Inc. has been available since 1993. In 1996, Varian Associates, Inc., constructed the first SPME autosampler. SPME involves exposing a fused silica fiber that has been coated with a non-volatile polymer to a sample or its headspace. The absorbed analytes are thermally desorbed in the injector of a gas chromatograph for separation and quantification. The fiber is mounted in a syringe-like holder which protects the fiber during storage and I netration of septa on the sample vial and in the GC injector. This device is operated like an ordinary GC syringe for sampling and injection. The extraction principle can be described as an equilibrium process in which the analyte partitions between the fiber and the aqueous phase. 

The quality attributes of water for injection (WFI) are stricter than for purified water. Consequently, the preparation methods typically vary in the last stage to ensure good control of quality of WFI. Methods for the production of WFI are the subject of current debate. The PhEur 2005 indicates that only distillation would give assurance of consistent supply of the appropriate quality. However, the PhEur 2005 permits distillation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, or any other suitable method that complies with regulations on water intended for human consumption laid down by the competent authority. 

The purpose of sample preparation is to create a processed sample that leads to better analytical results compared with the initial sample. The prepared sample should be an aliquot relatively free of interferences that is compatible with the HPLC method and that will not damage the column. The whole advanced analytical process can be wasted if an unsuitable preparation method has been employed before the sample reaches the chromatograph. Specifically, analytical work with samples from fermentation processes require a sample pre-treatment that eliminates the fermentation broth before the analytes can be injected into the chromatographic columns. This is primarily to remove macromolecular sample constituents, which easily clog the columns. Complex matrices often require a more selective sample preparation than for instance pharmaceutical solutions. In practice the choice of sample-preparation procedure is dependent on both the nature and size of the sample and on the selectivity of the separation and detection systems employed. Sample pre-treatment may includes a large number of methodologies. Ideally, sample preparation techniques should be fast, easy to use and inexpensive. In papers I and II careful sample pre-treatment was performed before all injections. 

Cationic liposomes composed of 3(3- [ N- (N N-dimethylaminoethane (carbamoyl] cholesterol (DC-Chol) and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) (DC-Chol/DOPE liposome, molar ratio, 1 1 or 3 2) prepared by the dry-film method have been often used as non-vtral gene delivery vectors. We have shown that a more efficient transfection in medium with serum was achieved using DC-Chol/DOPE liposomes (molar ratio, 1 2) than those (3 2), and preparation method by a modified ethanol injection than the dry-film. The most efficient DC-Chol/DOPE liposome for gene transfer was molar ratio (1 2) and prepared by a modified ethanol injection method. The enhanced transfection is related to an increase in the release of DNA in the cytoplasm by the large lipoplex during incubation in opti-MEM 1 reduced-serum medium (optiMEM), not to an increased cellular association with the lipoplex. Cationic liposomes rich in DOPE prepared by a modified ethanol injection method will help to improve the efficacy of liposome vector systems for gene delivery. 

We reported that greater transfection efficiency in medium with serum was obtained in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, using (I) DC-Chol/DOPE liposomes (molar ratio, 1 2) than liposomes (1 1 or 3 2), (2) a modified ethanol injection (MEI) method to prepare liposomes than the dry-film method (13, 14), and (3) a dilution method to form lipoplex than direct mixing. The physicochemical properties of liposomes and lipoplexes can be examined by measuring particle size. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by using plasmid DNA encoding luciferase gene and the cells.
