No formal international validation study of the in vitro methodology has been performed. Importantly, the same applies however to the in vivo studies. Despite the publication of several well-conducted comparative studies (Franz, 1975 Yang et al., 1986a,b Grissom et al, 1987 Scott and Ramsey, 1987 Hotchkiss et al., 1990, 1992 Scott et al., 1992 Ramsey et al., 1994 Roper et al., 1995 Dick et al., 1997a,b Wester et al., 1998), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) concluded in 2000 that evaluation of in vitro test methods by means of data available from the public literature is very difficult, because these studies, comparing in vitro and in vivo test results, contained too many variables (different species, thickness and types of the...

In addition to the use of fluorescence in biochemistry and biophysics, there is a growing interest in its use for analytical and clinical chemistry. The use of fluorescence in clinical diagnostics is part of the continual shift away from the use of radioactive tracers. The use of optical methods eliminates the dangers of handling radioactive materials and the cost of their (roper disposal. 

Photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) is an important parameter that describes the photothermal performances of materials. The classical calculation method for PCE developed by Roper et al. in 2007 has since been widely used in PCE calculation. ... 

Roper [30] has discussed the problem of determining very low concentrations of volatiles in polymers. Methods for the determination of such volatiles frequently include application of heat to the sample and the sweeping action of an inert gas to separate the volatile components from the polymer. The volatiles are then analysed by GC. When there is a low concentration of volatile material, it is advantageous to concentrate it in order to improve the shapes of the chromatographic peaks.

This method of fluid-soUd contacting is now practiced commercially in the biotechnology industry. An early introduction to this technique is available in Brandt et al. (1988). A number of reviews are available (Thommes and Kula, 1995 Roper and Lightfoot, 1995). A book illustrating this technique was pubUshed sometime back (Klein, 1991).
