Reconstitution of LHCPII from apoproteins and thylakoid pigments extracted by 80% acetone was described by Plumley and Schmidt (4). Aliquots of pigments in ether/ethanol were transferred directly to the apoproteins solubilized in 2% LDS and then subjected to 3 cycles of freeze/thaw prior to electrophoresis at 4°C. Reconstitution controls consisted of reconstituted samples heated (100 C, 1 min) just prior to electrophoresis. Subsequent analyses of reconstituted vs "native" CPU pigment-protein complexes were performed directly on excised polyacrylamide gel slices or following extraction into 2 mM Tris-Cl, pH... 

Bio-Rad Lyphochek (Irvine, CA) whole blood immunosuppressant controls (five levels) are used. The controls are reconstituted with deionized water. Reconstituted controls are stable for 14 days. 

A software has been elaborated allowing the automation of this control and the reconstitution of 2D and 3D images of the controlled samples. 

The sweeping test, following X, Y and Z axes, on the aluminum plate containing four standard defects and the processing software comparing between the impedance variation of the sane reference and the sample to be controlled allow the reconstitution of an image of the piece. 

Bone defects surgically produced in sheep and rabbit models, have been treated with freeze dried methylpyrrohdinone chitosan [334-336]. hi view of improving bone tissue reconstitution with chitosan associated with calcium phosphate. Microscopic and histological analyses showed the presence of an osteogenic reaction moving from the rim of the surgical lesion toward the center. In control lesions, dense fibrous tissue, without the characteristic histoarchitecture of bone was observed. 

Extraction of Sodium Channel Blockers. A review of published reports shows that methods for purification of sodium channel blockers from bacterial cultures are similar to techniques for isolation of TTX and STX from pufferfish and dinoflagellates (30, 31, 38, 39). Typically, cell pellets of bacterial cultures are extracted with hot 0.1% acetic acid, the resulting supernatant ultra-filtered, lyo-philized, and reconstituted in a minimal volume of 0.1% acetic acid. Culture media can also be extracted for TTX by a similar procedure (Ji). Both cell and supernatant extracts are analyzed further by gel filtration chromatography and other biological, chemical, and immunological methods. Few reports describe purification schemes that include extraction of control samples of bacteriological media (e.g., broths and agars) which may be derived from marine plant and animal tissues. 

For parenteral use, the antibiotic is packed in sterile vials as a powder (reconstituted before use) or suspension. For oral use it is prepared in any of the standard presentations, such as film-coated tablets. Searching tests are carried out on an appreciable number of random samples of the finished product to ensure that it satisfies the stringent quahty control requirements for potency, purity, freedom horn pyrogens and sterility. 

Ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone, is also utilized to control parasites. An immunoassay was developed to determine ivermectin residues in bovine liver by Crooks etal. The sample preparation procedure was complex, involving tissue homogenization in acetonitrile, centrifugation, extraction with hexane (to remove lipids), evaporation and reconstitution in ethyl acetate, and passage through an SPE column followed... 

JAK2 is critical for thrombopoietin (TPO) and erythropoietin (EPO) receptor signaling that controls the growth and differentiation of platelets and erythrocytes, respectively [10,11]. Transgenic reconstitution of the activated... 

Recovery — Overall procedural recovery was evaluated. The results from spiked plasma QC (evaluation) samples that went through the analytical procedure were compared to the results from neat spiking (control) solution samples. The neat spiking solutions used to prepare the plasma evaluation samples were evaporated and reconstituted at the same volumes as the extracted samples. The analyte was tested at three concentration levels and the internal standard was tested at one. Mean recovery for the analyte was approximately 122.9% the level was 55.2% for the internal standard. 

Recovery — Recovery control (RC) solutions were prepared in 10/90 v/v ACN/water. Recovery evaluation (RE) samples were prepared in human plasma. Aliquot of RC solutions into assay plates followed sample preparation procedure steps 1 and 2. Instead of adding 50 pL of diluent, wells containing RC solutions were dried down under a steady stream of room temperature N2. The dried wells were then reconstituted with 250 pL of diluent. Reconstituted RC solutions were directly injected onto an HPLC analytical column, bypassing the extraction column. RE samples were aliquoted into an assay plate following normal sample preparation. RE samples were analyzed using the full extraction procedure (with extraction column). The analyte was tested at three concentration levels and the internal standard was tested at one. Mean extraction recovery for fenofibric acid varied from 93.2 to 111.1%, and mean extraction recovery for the Pestanal internal standard was 105.2%. 

Standards, controls, and samples (250 fiL each) were treated with 500 fiL acetonitrile-acetic acid (99 1 v/v) containing IS (2.50 jUg/mL), vortexed for 10 sec, incubated for 5 min, and centrifuged at 15,000 g for 5 min. The supernatants (1650 //L) were loaded onto a polypropylene 96-well plate containing 900 fxL HPLC water under low vacuum. The SPE plates were conditioned with 500 fxL methanol followed by 300 jx. acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (30 69.5 0.5 v/v/v) (solvent A), washed with 1000 /xL solvent A, dried under full vacuum for 10 min, wiped dry with paper, eluted with 500 jxL methanol-trifluoroacetic acid (99.9 0.1 v/v) (solvent B) and then with 400 //L solvent B for 2 min, evaporated to dryness at 65°C under a gentle air stream, reconstituted with 200 /xL methanol-hydrochloric acid (0.1 M) (70 30 v/v) and assayed. The injection volume was 50 i L. Figure 11.3 shows chromatograms of blank plasma and spiked plasma with lumefantrine. A calibration curve was constructed in a concentration range of 25 to 20,000 ng/mL. Intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation were below 5.2 and 4.0%, respectively. The limit of detection was 10 ng/mL. The limit of quantification was 25 ng/mL. 

Internal standards were flurazepam for clozapine and pericaizine for desmethylclozapine, respectively. Aliquots (0.5 mL) of standards, controls, and patient samples were mixed with 50 /tL of 10mM flurazepam and 50 /tL of 10nM pericaizine, extracted with 4 mL of hexane/n-butanol/ace-tonitrile (93 5 2), shaken for 5 min, and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. The organic layer was collected, evaporated to dryness at 40°C under an air stream, reconstituted in 50 /tL of methanol,... 

If the analyte is too dilute for the chosen method, its concentration may be increased in any number of ways. One is a controlled evaporation of the solvent (such that the factor by which its concentration is increased is known). Another is to perform an extraction that results in a smaller solution volume for the same quantity of analyte. Another is to evaporate the analyte solution to dryness and then reconstitute (i.e., redissolve) with a smaller volume of solvent. 

The postulate of steady state during dissolution reaction (Table 5.1) implies a continuous reconstitution of the surface with the maintenance of a constant distribution of the various surface sites and the steady state concentration of the surface complexes. Fig. 5.7 presents experimental evidence that the concentration of the surface ligand - in line with Fig. 5.5a - remains constant during the surface controlled dissolution reaction.
