Colour management: a workable solution.

Abstract

Within clinical photography, colour reproduction has always been a contentious issue. With the development of new technologies, the variables affecting colour reproduction have changed and photographers have altered practices, moving away from the realm of film to digital photographic imaging systems. In order to standardize the output of digital clinical images, the author researched, and successfully implemented, the GretagMacbeth EYE-ONE Pro colour management system. This system, which is maintained on a monthly basis, has ensured a colour-consistent, reliable and efficient workflow throughout the digital clinical set-up.

Determination of rizatriptan in human plasma by liquid chromatographic-eletrospray tandem mass spectrometry: application to a pharmacokinetic study.

A sensitive liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of rizatriptan in human plasma. The analytes were extracted from plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction, separated on a Zorbax XDB C8 column (150 x 4.6 mm i.d.) and detected by tandem mass spectrometry with an electrospray ionization interface. Zomitriptan was used as the internal standard. The method had a lower limit of quantitation of 50 pg/mL for rizatriptan, which showed more sensitivity and speed of analysis compared with reported methods. The within- and between-day precision was measured to be below 11.71% and accuracy between -5.87 and 0.86% for all quality control samples. This quantitation method was successfully applied to the evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profiles of rizatriptan after single oral administration of 5, 10 and 15 mg rizatriptan tablets to 10 healthy volunteers (five males and five females).

A novel method for immediate post-purification purity determination of fractions collected during high-throughput purification.

Following purification, the fractions of purified samples typically are analyzed to determine the relative purities of each fraction. We report a novel technique for performing post-purification analysis immediately after each preparative LC/MS run. The Single Pass Compound Purification and Analysis System (SPACPASS) samples and stores a representative aliquot from the fraction while it is being collected. Demonstrated for '1:1' fraction collections, this method of fraction purity assessment streamlined sample processing by reducing post-purification sample handling. For 97% of the collected fractions, this technique provided relative purities to within +/-5% when compared with more traditional post-purification analysis.

Preparation of tea glycoprotein and its application as a calibration standard for the quantification and molecular weight determination of tea glycoprotein in different tea samples by high-performance gel-permeation chromatography.

Tea glycoprotein (TGC) was purified by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, and its purity and molecular weight (MW) were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography. The gel permeation chromatography (GPC) elution behavior of TGC on an Ultrahydrogel 500 (7.8x300 mm) column was studied using a mobile phase with various concentrations of NaCl. A dextran T system was found to be unsuitable as MW calibration standards in GPC because the MW of TGC was changed with the change of ionic concentration in the mobile phase. Thus, the purified TGC obtained in this study was standardized and used instead as the calibration standards for the determination and comparison of TGCs in tea samples collected from different geographic locations and species varieties. The GPC was run at 35 degrees C on an Ultrahydrogel 500 column (7.8x300 mm) with a refractive index detector. Distilled water was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6 ml.min(-1). The calibration curve was linear over the TGC concentration range of 0.604-6.04 mg.ml(-1), with a correlation coefficient of r=0.9997. The TGC mass recovery ranged from 80.4 to 93.2%, with a relative standard deviation of 5.42%. The assay method developed in this paper was found to be simple, reproducible, and reliable and, thus, ideally suitable for the quality control of TGC-derived products and raw materials.
