Batch preparation

A set of Saccharomyces cerevisiae reductases was screened in collaboration with J. D. Stewart s group (University of Florida). Itwas demonstrated that diketo ester la is accepted as substrate by at least three different NADP(H)-dependent reductases of this microorganism. Application of a cell-free system in preparative batches using enzyme-coupled coenzyme regeneration afforded (R)-2a with more than 99% enantiomeric excess [13]. 

Burets with ground-glass stopcocks should not be used, as leaking is caused by polymethylene formed preferentially on the ground surfaces. A buret such as Ultramax F and P, having a stopcock of plastic material, is satisfactory. The buret should be filled immediately before commencement of the reaction to keep the diazomethane solution cool and thus to minimize polymerization. The technique used is very similar to that of a titration, and a number of methylations of prepared batches can be quickly performed with one filling of the buret. 

Compelling evidence for this mechanism was obtained when a freshly prepared batch of the tungsten complex W2(NEt2)4Me2 failed to react with C02 over a period of 24 hours, but upon addition of a trace of free amine, reaction commenced immediately and was complete within minutes (148). 

It should be standard for each newly prepared batch of nanoparticles to characterize all chemical as well as physical properties, and report all data necessary to prove unequivocally purity and size/size distribution including, but not limited to, 1H NMR (absence of free, non-bound ligands, ammonium salts, or other impurities/ reagents) and elemental analysis and/or inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, ICP-OES/MS (providing information about purity as well as monolayer coverage in conjunction with size information provided by TEM, X-ray diffraction/scattering or DLS).

Determine analytical accuracy and precision for One pair for every preparation batch of up to a sample batch 20 field samples... 

A preparation batch is a group of up to 20 field samples, prepared together for the same analysis using the same lots of reagents and associated with common QC samples. In addition to field samples, a preparation batch must, at a minimum, include a method (extraction or digestion) blank, an LCS, and an LCSD. Other laboratory QC checks may be part of the preparation batch, such as an MS/MSD pair or a laboratory duplicate. If laboratory QC checks in a preparation batch meet the laboratory acceptance criteria, the batch is considered be in a state of control and every sample in it is acceptable, provided that individual QC checks are also acceptable. If the method blank and the samples in a preparation batch show contamination that makes sample results inconclusive or if the LCS and LCSD recoveries are not acceptable, the whole batch may be prepared again. 

Laboratory control samples are analyte-free matrices (reagent water or laboratory-grade sand) fortified (spiked) with known concentrations of target analytes and carried throughout the entire preparation and analysis. Laboratories prepare and analyze these batch QC check samples at minimum frequency of one LCS/LCSD pair for every preparation batch of up to 20 field samples. Laboratory control samples serve two purposes ... 

Depending on the analytical method and laboratory procedure, not all of these QC checks may be available in each data package. However, every preparation batch must contain at least one LCS as a measure of analytical accuracy and an LCSD or any other pair of laboratory QC check samples (a sample and a laboratory duplicate or an MS/MSD pair) as a measure of analytical precision. Sample data for which accuracy and precision cannot be determined are not data of known quality.

Preparative batches of the mouse anti-human IgG-HRP conjugate Titers were determined to optimize every new preparation to maintain the same assay performance. 

The fermentation of S. paucimobilis SC 16113 culture was carried out in a 750-liter fermentor. From each fermentation batch, about 60 kg of wet cell paste was collected. Cells harvested from the fermentor were used to conduct the biotransformation in 1-, 10-, and 210-liter preparative batches under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The cells were suspended in 80 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) to 20% (w/v, wet cells) concentration. Compound (6) (1-2 g/ liter) and glucose (25 g/liter) were added to the fermentor and the reduction reaction was carried out at 37°C. In some batches, at the end of the fermentation cycle, the cells were concentrated sevenfold by ceramic crossflow microfiltration using a 0.2-pm filter, diafiltered using 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), and used directly in the bioreduction process. In all batches of biotransformation, the reaction yield of >85% and the e.e. of >98% were obtained (Table 4). The isolation of compound (7) from the 210-liter preparative batch was carried out to obtain 100 g of product (7). The isolated (7) gave 83% chemical purity and an e.e. of 99.5%. 

Lipase PS-30 was immobilized on Accurel PP and the immobilized enzyme was reused five times without any loss of activity or productivity in the resolution process to prepare A-(+)-(43). The enzymatic process was scaled up to a 640-liter preparative batch using immobilized lipase PS-30 at 4 g/liter racemic substrate (43) in toluene as a solvent. From the reaction mixture, i -(+)-(43) was isolated in 35 M% overall yield with 98.5% e.e. and 99.5% chemical purity. The undesired, S -(-)-acetatc (46) produced by this process was enzymatically hydrolyzed by lipase PS-30 in a biphasic system to prepare the corresponding S -(-)-alcohol (43). Thus both enantiomers of alcohol (43) were produced by the enzymatic process. 

The dc electrical resistivity p was measured versus temperature for a crystal of KjCfio (Fig. 1). Crystals from different preparation batches yielded similar results. Near room temperature the resistivity is about 5 mO-cm, comparable to that obtained for K3C60 films at room temperature (1. 3). However, because of geometrical uncertainties associated with the contact pads, the absolute value of the resistivity should be considered reliable only to within a factor of 2. Below room temperature, p(T) falls in a metal-like fashion with distinct curvature. At T the resistivity drops abruptly to zero, with a transition width < 200 mK. The inset in Fig. 1 shows p(T) near in detail. The temperature has been swept slowly (—50 mK per minute) near the transition temperature showing no difference in Tj between cooling and warming. 

Polymerization. Copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether) and the nitrile (1-4 mole ) have been prepared batch-wise in a stirred autoclave using an aqueous ammonium persulfate or ammonium persulfate-sodium sulfite redox couple system at 40°-100° C. The TFE/PMVE gas mixture was pressured, as required, to maintain the pressure and the nitrile pumped in solution in trichlorotrifluoro-ethane. After completion of the reaction, polymer was isolated from the latex (25-30 solids) by coagulation using ethanol and aqueous magnesium chloride solution. It was washed with alcohol/water solutions and dried at 70 °C in an oven under nitrogen. Mass balance indicated that most of the nitrile had been incorporated.

LVDV-111+ rheometers were set up with LV-4 spindles attached by SP-7Y Quick Connect Couplings. The Quick Connect couplings allowed the standard spindles to be easily disengaged from the viscometer at the end of the experiment. The resin + curing agent mixture was transferred into poly(ethylene) sample vials. Two separate batches were prepared - batch 1 was transferred into vials 1-3 and tested first. Batch 2 was prepared after the first test set was completed, and this batch was transferred to vials 4-6. Each vial was approximately 64 mm high, approximately 13 mm in diameter, and held approximately 5.5 mL. Each vial was clamped to its rheometer stand so that (a) the vial was essentially vertical and (b) the vial was centered about the immersed spindle.

Microbial Reduction of 4-Benzyloxy-3-Methanesulfonyl-amino-2 -Bromoacetophenone. The microbial reduction of 4-benzyloxy-3-methanesulfonylamino-2 -bromoacetophe-none (20) (Fig. 5B) to the corresponding (/ )-alcohol (21) has been demonstrated (32) using Sphingomonas paucimo-bilis SC 16113. The growth of S. paucimobilis SC 16113 was carried out in a 750-L fermentor cells (60 kg) harvested from the fermentor were used to conduct the biotransformation in 10- and 200-L preparative batches. The cells were... 

After the Second World War, penicillin was prepared batch-wise in flat glass bottles, which were stacked up in large racks. 

The absorption spectra of polyaniline films cast from sulfuric acid are strongly dependent on the molecular weight (viscosity). Figure 2 shows spectra of three thin films spin-cast from sulfuric acid solution, and subsequently treated by 0.5M HCl solution to achieve full protonation. To study the effect of molecular weight on the absorption spectrum, we used emeraldine base samples fractionated from the same preparation batch (polymerization and compensation) as described in the previous section. This procedure prevents any uncertainty in the viscosity value, and avoids slight variations in the preparation procedure. 

In order to observe the effect of lipid composition of the membranes on the activity of the dep-poly8, neutral, zwitterionic liposomes with a 9 1 SOPC to cholesterol molar ratio, and anionic liposomes with 9 1 and 1 1 SOPC to SOPS molar ratios were prepared. Batches of liposomes with different ionic character were tested within the same experiment, using the same reagents and equipment in order to minimize experimental errors. The results were also confirmed in a second set of experiments. 

For method validation studies, QCs are often prepared and analyzed fresh on the same day, but when QCs are being prepared and then stored for subsequent use during sample analysis it is advisable to run some type of QC check of the prepared batch of QCs prior to use. Generally, QC replicates are prepared and assayed along with a standard curve and a set of blanks. The number of replicates used will depend of the availability of control matrix (and thus the number of available QCs), laboratory SOPs and/or historical information about the method with respect to previous batches of QCs made.
