Stains standards

Samples in tubes 2 and 3 (see table below) are single-stained standards that will be used for setting compensation. These should contain a substantial number of apoptotic and/or necrotic cells, so that subsets that are positively stained with annexin V-PE and/or 7-AAD may be readily recognized, and are best prepared from designated replicates of test samples that have been exposed to a high concentration of toxicant.

Identify the radioactive phosphoamino acids by aligning the stained standards with the X-ray film or a copy of the phosphorimage. 

Often used as mixtures, the telomers are subsequently converted to commercial surfactants and stain-resistant fiber finishes through functionalizing steps using standard chemical reactions of the C—1 bond. 

Aesthetic properties are of greatest concern in decorative laminates. These include gloss, appearance, cleanabiUty, wear resistance, stain resistance, and other surface properties. Physical properties are of most importance for industrial laminates. These include strength, electrical and thermal properties, expansion coefficient, and punchabiUty. The definitions of the laminate grades in these standards foUow. 

The characteristics of interior paints that require testing and analysis include hiding and appearance, package stabiHty, adhesion, spatter resistance, flow and leveling, color and sheen uniformity, touch-up, stain removal, burnish resistance, and block and print resistance. A popular test that assesses the wet abrasion resistance of an interior paint is to measure its scmb resistance. A mechanical device is used to scmb a paint film of a specified thickness with a standard bmsh and abrasive cleanser suspension. The number of scmb cycles (back and forth movements of the weighted bmsh) at various end points (first cut through, or 50% removal of the film) is then recorded. Scmb resistance usually holds steady or decreases slightly as PVC is increased, but drops quickly once the CPVC is exceeded in a paint formulation. 

The derivatives of the aminophenols have important uses both in the photographic and the pharmaceutical industries. They are also extensively employed as precursors and intermediates in the synthesis of more compHcated molecules, especially those used in the staining and dye industry. All of the major classes of dyes have representatives that incorporate substituted aminophenols these compounds produced commercially as dye intermediates have been reviewed (157). Details of the more commonly encountered derivatives of the aminophenols can be found in standard organic chemistry texts (25,158). A few examples, which have specific uses or are manufactured in large quantities, are discussed in detail in the following (see Table 6). 

Sulfide content is determined by titration with standard lead nitrate solution (1 g/L). The titration is continued until a drop of the test solution on a filter paper ceases to produce a stain with a drop of lead nitrate solution. 

In the 1993 AATCC standard method (re-affirmed in 1988) a standard weight of dye (10 g) is dropped down a funnel into a cylinder of defined si2e. A wet filter paper is placed as a coUar to the funnel 200 mm above the bottom of the cylinder. After 3 min the stain on the filter paper, obtained by the dust created in the funnel dissolving on the paper, is assessed by comparing the standard photographs and the dye given the number of the picture it resembles the most (1 poor, 5 excellent). 

To quantitate proteins from staining, a densitometer aided by computer software is used to evaluate band areas of samples compared to band areas of a standard curve. Amido black, Coomassie Brilliant Blue, and silver stains are all appHcable for use in quantification of proteins. 

Smoke stain When a certain quantity of dirty air is passed through a filter paper, the degree of staining on the paper is measured and expressed as a concentration of equivalent standard smoke by means of an optical reflectometer. 

Figure 4-4. Use of SDS-PAGE to observe successive purification of a recombinant protein. The gel was stained with Coomassie blue. Shown are protein standards (lane S) of the indicated mass, crude cell extract (E), high-speed supernatant liquid (H), and the DEAE-Sepharose fraction (D). The recombinant protein has a mass of about 45 kDa.

The prominent large spacing is the half-period of the a cell dimension. Striations oblique to this direction are the (1,1) and the (-1,1) periodicities. Magnification, x 308 000. From Taylor et al. [156].

Simplest method of diagnosis is detection of oocysts by modified acid-fast staining of a stool specimen. Standard ova and parasite test does not include Cryptosporidium. 

Another limitation of 2D gels is that membrane proteins are underrepresented. Because membrane proteins account for approximately 30% of total proteins (Wallin and Von Heijne, 1998), this is a serious problem for characterization of the proteome. The relative lack of membrane proteins resolvable on 2D gels can be attributed to thee main factors (i) they are not abundant, and therefore are difficult to detect by standard staining techniques, (ii) they often possess alkaline pi values, which make them difficult to resolve on the pH gradients most often used for isolelectric focusing, and (iii) the most important reason for under representation may be that membrane proteins are poorly soluble in the aqueous media used for isoelectric focusing (Santoni et al., 2000). Membrane proteins are designed to be soluble in lipid bilayers and are therefore difficult to solubilize in water-based solutions.
