Record 1 2011-08-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Type of chromatography developed following the observation that certain proteins were unexpectedly retained on affinity gels containing hydrophobic spacer arms. This concept was extended, and families of hydrophobic adsorbents prepared using a homologous series of hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. In practice most proteins can be satisfactorily purified using C-8 or phenyl substituents. Hydrophobic interactions are strongest at high ionic strength, so adsorption to a hydrophobic matrix can be conveniently performed after a salt precipitation or ion exchange chromatography step. Elution can be effected by altering the solvent ionic strength, pH, or composition or by the use of a dielectric constant modifier such as ethanediol.

CONT

When carrying out the hydrophobic chromatography of human urokinase..., the solution containing the crude urokinase which is prepared from human urine in the usual simple method, is adjusted to a salt concentration of 0. 2 to 2 M, preferably 0. 2 to 1 M. The solution is then made to flow through the hydrophobic column packed with the protein adsorbent of this process.... The pH is not critical when carrying out the hydrophobic chromatography, however, the pH is usually adjusted to pH 5. 5 to 10, preferably 6 to 8. 5 at which pH urokinase is stable against inactivation. Purified urokinase can be obtained by treating the effluent from the hydrophobic column in a usual method, namely by lyophilization after desalting.

  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

Certaines observations faites en chromatographie d'affinité ont montré que divers effets non spécifiques étaient attribuables à des interactions de type hydrophobe. De là est venue l'idée d'employer des chaînes carbonées fixées à un support d'agarose. On dispose maintenant de familles de composés, ne différant entre eux que par de minimes variantes de structure, mais présentant des propriétés chromatographiques intéressantes. Diverses protéines se fixent réversiblement et selon des modalités variées à ces chaînes hydrophobes : c'est donc une possibilité de séparation. Cette chromatographie "hydrophobe" est actuellement en expansion.

Subject field(s)
  • Space Physics

  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Quotient of the luminous flux incident on an infinitesimal element of a surface containing the point under consideration, by the area of that element.

CONT

Illuminance (usually ’E’ in formulas) is the total amount of visible light illuminating (incident upon) a point on a surface from all directions above the surface. This "surface" can be a physical surface or an imaginary plane. Therefore illuminance is equivalent to irradiance weighted with the response curve of the human eye.

OBS

Standard unit for illuminance is Lux(lx) which is lumens per square meter(lm/). There are several older units of illuminance : footcandle : 1 fc=10. 764 lx; phot : 1 ph=10 000 lx. Typical illuminance values are : 1 lx=full moon; 10 lx=street lighting; 100-1 000 lx=workspace lighting; 10 000 lx=surgery lighting; 100 000 lx=plain sunshine.

OBS

"Illumination" is a deprecated term for "illuminance".

OBS

illuminance: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

DEF

A reference solution containing a selected concentration of dissolved substance.

CONT

To complete the definition of pH, values of pH have been assigned to standard solutions. The National Bureau of Standards has recommended five solutions as primary standards. One of these, 0. 05 M potassium hydrogen phthalate, has been adopted as the primary standard of pH in Great Britain and Japan.

DEF

Solution de référence contenant une concentration choisie de substance dissoute.

CONT

Les déterminations de force électromotrice ne peuvent fournir une mesure du pH que si un étalonnage préalable a été réalisé. On a donc été amené à définir des solutions-étalons de pH utilisant la propriété que possèdent les couples acide-base faibles de constituer des solutions-tampons [...]

OBS

La solution-étalon a été définie afin de servir de solution de référence, ce qui est presque toujours le cas; néanmoins il s'agit de deux notions distinctes. On les confond évidemment très souvent.

DEF

Standard that is designated or widely acknowledged as having the highest metrological qualities and whose value is accepted without reference to other standards of the same quantity.

CONT

A standard solution is prepared by dissolving an accurately weighed quantity of a highly pure material called a primary standard and diluting to an accurately known volume in a volumetric flask.

CONT

To complete the definition of pH, values of pH8</sub>, have been assigned to standard solution. The National Bureau of Standards has recommended five solutions as primary standards. One of these, 0. 05 M potassium hydrogen phthalate, has been adopted as the primary standard of pH in Great Britain and Japan.

OBS

The concept of primary standard is equally valid for base quantities and derived quantities.

OBS

primary standard: term and definition approved by ISO, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML), and others.

OBS

Le concept d'étalon primaire est valable aussi bien pour les grandeurs de base que pour les grandeurs dérivées.

CONT

Aux États-Unis, le «National Bureau of Standards» a étudié systématiquement les propriétés de ces solutions-tampons de pH. Il a défini la composition de quatre solutions choisies comme étalons primaires : ce sont les tampons tartrate, phtalate, phosphate et borax.
