Preparation sample storage

Activities encompassed by the stability program include sample storage of either development or production batches (or both), data collection and storage/retrieval, physical, chemical, and microbiological testing, document preparation of regulatory... 

For each of these you need to consider a number of aspects, such as grade, labelling, preparation, containment, storage, safety, stability and disposal. Each one of these is considered in the next section. Much of the advice given in this section is also applicable to samples. 

While matrix effects are generally attributed to sample constituents, sample preparation can also lead to matrix effects. Mei et al. [115, 124] demonstrated that matrix effects could be caused by the brand of sample tubes that are used in the sample storage step of the assay. In this example, the solution was to switch to a different supplier for the tubes. In addition, while it is generally reported that... 

Determining the occurrence of a chemical in the environment should be viewed as an integral process that involves several steps including sampling, storage, sample preparation, and ultimately detection of the chemical(s) of interest. Each of these steps has profound effects on the whole analytical and detection process of PPCPs in the...

Information concerning sample(s) number of samples, storage condition, reference to sample preparation documentation. 

Characterization of the stability of chemicals during preparation and storage of the samples is indirect. 

The preceding discussion of sample storage of external liquid standards certainly apply to the standards prepared for the internal standardization technique. There is one further consideration in this regard and that is in the proper selection of the internal standard for a given analysis. The first step is to chromatograph a typical sample and identify the component or components to be analyzed. The internal standard is then chosen such that it must ... 

Sample storage freezers located at the Research Farms and those of the Residue laboratories are considered to be limited access archives and are kept locked. Access is limited to the sample preparation laboratory employees. All movements of samples in and out of the freezers are recorded. One freezer in the Residue Laboratory...

Quercia et al. [171] studied the stability of omeprazole 2 mg/ml in an extemporaneously prepared oral liquid. The contents of five 20-mg omeprazole capsules were mixed with 50 ml of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate solution in a Luer-Lok syringe. Three vials of this liquid were prepared for storage at 24,5, and — 20 °C. A 3-ml sample of each was taken initially and on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 and assayed by HPLC. The liquids stored at 5 and — 20 °C did not change color during the study period, but the color of the liquid stored at 24 °C changed from white to brown. 

Samples are received at the laboratory by a group of people designated as Sample Custodians who work within the Sample Receiving Section. This section is typically responsible for entering the COC Form information into the LIMS sample storage the preparation of sample containers and coolers on client s request and the disposal of expired samples. These procedures must be documented in laboratory SOPs that are kept readily available at the sample receiving area. 

Prior to initiating Ab capture experiments, it is important to consider the following parameters to ensure that the assay yields the desired results (1) chip selection, (2) Ab selection, and (3) sample preparation and storage.
