Streamline and Improve Your Genotyping and Genetic Studies Applied Biosystems has designed BloodPrepTM Chemistry for quick and efficient DNA purification from many sample matrices, including: fresh and frozen whole blood from various animal species in all common anticoagulants, isolated blood cells such as “buffy coat” or leukocyte fractions, cultured cells, and buccal swabs. Novel reagent form...

The inherent pleomorphism of Bacterionema matruchotii resulting from its mode of reproduction was enhanced by temporal effects of culture age and growth condition and by the more lasting effects of rough to intermediate to smooth morphological dissociation. Routine morphological observations with a single growth condition were inadequate to permit unambiguous judgements of culture purity. Multi...

Purity Analysis is the problem of determining whether or not a method may have side-effects. This has applications in automatic parallelisation, extended static checking, and more. We present a novel purity system for Java that employs purity annotations which can be checked modularly. This is done using a flow-sensitive, intraprocedural analysis. The system exploits two properties, called fres...

We address truncated states of continuous variable systems and analyze their statistical properties numerically by generating random states in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, we focus to the distribution of purity and non-Gaussianity for dimension up to d = 21. We found that both quantities are distributed around typical values with variances that decrease for increasing dimen...

Typically, the first thing one wants to know about a DNA preparation is its concentration and purity. Both can be determined by measuring the absorption of ultraviolet light. DNA absorbs UV more or less strongly depending upon the wavelength. We will be using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer, which takes measurements at wavelengths of 260 and 280 nm, and in addition determines an absorption spectru...

The purity, Tr(q), measures how pure or mixed a quantum state q is. It is well known that quantum dynamical semigroups that preserve the identity operator (which we refer to as unital) are strictly purity-decreasing transformations. Here, we provide an almost complete characterization of the class of strictly purity-decreasing quantum dynamical semigroups. We show that in the case of finite-dim...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this investigation was to develop and evaluate a new and rapid miniaturized chromatography system that would accurately assess the radiochemical purity of 99mTc-tetrofosmin without the problems of solvent ratios and time requirements associated with the manufacturer's recommended procedure. METHODS The migration of the radiochemical components of 99mTc-tetrofosmin wa...

Purity in module categories and its different generalizations have been present in the literature since the 1960s. Apart from its special role in module theory, the importance of purity increased during the last two decades through the developments of model theory and the study of locally finitely presented categories (e.g., [2, 6]). In the module theory context, that will be our framework, a p...

In this study, total crocin was extracted from saffron stigmas using crystallization method. Ethanol 80% was selected as the best extraction solvent. Crystallization process was carried out in one and two steps at different temperatures. Ethanol 80% was used as crystallization medium. Crocin crystals obtained from the first crystallization had low purity and thus were subjected to the second cr...
