Isotones: definition

Isotonic solutions, by definition, exert equal osmotic pressure. Therefore, for blood is the same as I I for the glucose solution. We can calculate from Equation after converting the concentration moles per liter —MRT and... 

Bajoras and Makuska investigated the effect of hydrogen bonding complexes on the reactivities of (meth)acrylic and isotonic acids in a binary mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and water using IR spectroscopy (Bajoras and Makuska, 1986). They demonstrated that by altering the solvent composition it was possible to carry out copolymerization in the azeotropic which resulted in the production of homogeneous copolymers of definite compositions at high conversions. Furthermore, it was shown that water solvent fraction determines the rate of copolymerization and the reactivity ratios of the comonomers. This in turn determines the copolymer composition. 

These terms are relative between two specified solutions and have no meaning outside of a definite context. The hypertonic of two solutions has a higher solute particle concentration. Two solutions are isotonic if they have equal solute particle concentrations. 

One characteristic of many (but not all) saponins is their capacity to rupture erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles). By measuring the change in absorbance of the supernatant of an erythrocyte suspension after hemolysis, the saponin content can be calculated. Various amounts of the saponin-containing product or extract are mixed with a suspension of washed erythrocytes in isotonic buffer at pH 7.4. After 24 h, the mixture is centrifuged and hemolysis is indicated by the presence of hemoglobin (red) in the supernatant. In the European Pharmacopoeia, the quantity in milliliters of ox blood (diluted 1 50) that is totally hydrolysed by 1 g of test substance is measured. As a standard, the saponin mixture from the roots of Gypsophila paniculata (Caryophyllaceae) has by definition an activity of 30 000 units. 

In fact, as can be appreciated from the data reported in Table 2, the increase in mean diameters occurring in isotonic saline (as expressed by swelling index) is definitely underestimated with respect to microscopic observation. This is especially evident in the case of Ac-di-Sol fractions.
