Kinetic label intensity

In the pharmaceutical industry, and to some extent the fine chemicals industry, an important advantage of a batch reactor is traceability. The product from a particular batch will have a uniform consistency, and can be uniquely labelled and readily traced. In contrast, the product from a continuous process may change gradually over time, and it is therefore more difficult to trace a particular impurity or fault in the material. Batch reactors are, however, rarely the most efficient in terms of throughput and energy use when the reaction kinetics are fast. Batch systems are also much more labour intensive than continuous processes. 

An analytical chemical technique that utilizes radioactive (or stable) isotopes for the quantitative analysis of the amount of substance. In the absence of a kinetic isotope effect, isotopic isomers react identically with respect to their unlabeled counterparts. The method offers the advantage that specific activity (or gram-atom excess in the case of stable isotopes) is an intensive variable. Therefore, one only needs to recover sufficient labeled metabolite to determine amount of substance and disintegrations per minute (or, gram-atom excess) to reach an accurate determination of specific activity. The technique is feasible so long as one can accurately determine the initial and final specific activities. 

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique had become popular in interaction studies between biological molecules (1). It is an optical biosensor, and the interactions can be detected by SPR angle shift or reflection light intensity. In typical SPR measurement, one of pair interacting biomolecules was immobilized on a gold chip, and another was flowed over the chip as its solution. There are two major advantages in SPR assay (a) real time evaluations on kinetics studies and (b) label-free measurements.

An immunoassay for TNT and its analogues was carried out on a glass chip. A competitive assay was adopted in which TNT or its analogues competed with fluorescein-labeled TNB (TNB-F1) for the anti-TNT antibody. The ratio of fluorescent intensity of the free TNB-F1 to that of the complex was plotted against the TNT concentration, and the LOD was determined to be 1 ng/mL [285], Dissociation kinetics of the antigen-antibody complex was also studied, thanks...
