Quantitation of the protein content of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids by the Biuret method during production of combined vaccines.

The protein content of 15 batches of diphtheria toxoid and 12 batches of tetanus toxoid was measured by Biuret method and was compared to the values obtained by the Kjeldahl method. Statistical analysis did not show any difference between the two methods. The Biuret method, is specific, easy to carry out and takes less time for protein estimation of purified toxoids during production of combined vaccines.

Data verification in the residue laboratory.

Residue analysis frequently presents a challenge to the quality assurance (QA) auditor due to the sheer volume of data to be audited. In the face of multiple boxes of raw data, some process must be defined that assures the scientist and the QA auditor of the quality and integrity of the data. A program that ensures that complete and appropriate verification of data before it reaches the Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) is presented. The "Guidelines for Peer Review of Data" were formulated by the Residue Analysis Business Center at Ricerca, Inc. to accommodate efficient use of review time and to define any uncertainties concerning what are acceptable data. The core of this program centers around five elements: Study initiation (definitional) meetings, calculations, verification, approval, and the use of a verification checklist.

Axial evolution of the negative glow in a hollow cathode discharge.

The purpose of these studies was to examine the axial evolution of the negative glow in a hollow cathode discharge. The time-average negative glow profiles along the central axis of a hollow cathode were recorded for 81 pulse widths over the range of 5-25 microseconds in increments of 0.25 microseconds at a constant interpulse delay of 206.4 microseconds. Subsequent numerical processing yielded the instantaneous negative glow profile. The negative glow was viewed through a mesh-covered slot along the length of the hollow cathode. The negative flow profiles were imaged using a vidicon video camera. A PC-based frame grabber digitized the video images and stored them for subsequent processing.
