(a.) An aliquant part of a number or quantity is one which does not divide it without leaving a remainder; thus, 5 is an aliquant part of 16. Opposed to aliquot.
Example Sentences:
(1) After cooling to 5 degrees C and equilibration on ice (4 degrees C) for 120 min, each aliquant was pellet frozen on solid CO2, stored in liquid nitrogen and thawed (37 degrees C) in saline or tissue culture solution.
(2) In addition, at 5 h and 24 h an aliquant of the control suspension was removed, diluted 1:1 with FF and incubated for 1 h; the three suspensions were examined at 6 h and 25 h. Continuous exposure to 50% FF stimulated the AR, the effect being significant (P less than 0.001) at 25 h. However, the 1-h short exposure of spermatozoa to FF did not produce an increase in AR, even after 24 h preincubation.
(3) The tissue was enzymically dispersed and an aliquant was utilized for measurement of cell diameters, and staining for 3 beta-hydroxy-delta 5-steroid dehydrogenase-delta 5, delta 4-isomerase activity (3 beta-HSD).
Aliquot
Definition:
(a.) An aliquot part of a number or quantity is one which will divide it without a remainder; thus, 5 is an aliquot part of 15. Opposed to aliquant.
Example Sentences:
(1) Group teaching compared to individualized teaching of the patients to collect their own aliquots did not appear to have a measurable effect upon the levels of bacteriuria.
(2) In order to maintain its activity, the enzyme was always stored in 1.0-ml aliquots at temperatures below -20 degrees C and each aliquot when thawed was used immediately; any left over enzyme was never reused.
(3) Five ml aliquots of ORS were collected at 6, 12 and 24 hours after reconstitution for bacteriologic study.
(4) The tissue and an aliquot of bathing medium were counted for 3H and 14C content and the values entered into the Wadell and Butler equation.
(5) In SYD fT is estimated from the rate at which radiolabelled testosterone redistributes between two identical (undiluted) plasma aliquots separated by a dialysis membrane.
(6) For direct measurement of the ESR signal of superoxide anion (O2-) produced in biological samples, O2- generated at a physiological pH was trapped in alkaline media instead of by a rapid freezing method, and then its signal was measured by ESR spectroscopy at 77 K. A reaction mixture for O2- generation, such as xanthine oxidase-xanthine and neutrophils, was incubated at a physiological pH (pH 7.0-7.5) for a suitable reaction period (30s), then an aliquot (300 microliters) was pipetted out and squirted into 600 microliters of 0.5 M NaOH to stabilize O2- (pH-jump).
(7) In order to determine piretanide in urine, bumetanide was added to a urine aliquot.
(8) This reaction is performed in solution and the evaluation is accomplished by dotting aliquots of the reaction mixture onto phosphocellulose paper, washing with water, and autoradiography.
(9) Aliquots of the fluids in the outer and inner condoms were grown in culture.
(10) Fluidification of sputum with reduction in certain measurements of the viscosity of morning sputum aliquots, associated with improvement in the ability to cough up bronchial secretions, significant increase in sputum volume output, and improvement in ventilation (as estimated by the forced expiratory volume in one second), were observed in both trials as dose-related responses, with an increase in the ease of expectoration and a reduction in cough frequency and dyspnea.
(11) Aliquots of saliva from 50 schoolchildren and 51 adults were tested by the dip-slide method and by conventional plating methods in MSB agar.
(12) Aliquots of sera from women with hypogonadism were subjected to gel filtration chromatography to be assayed for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the use of radioimmunoassay.
(13) Heparinized blood from six healthy controls and nine patients on cardiopulmonary bypass was aliquoted and mixed with various concentrations of aprotinin.
(14) This method used semi-micro scale material and 200-microliters biological aliquots.
(15) A good correlation existed between histamine levels on an aliquot of lysed BAL cells and BAL histamine levels, R = 0.655 and p = 0.02, but not with either the total number or percent mast-basophiloid cells in BAL assessed on Wright's stained cytocentrifuge preparations.
(16) Aliquots of timed urine specimens of known volume should be stored frozen without preservative.
(17) Aliquots of 24-h urine collections are acidified and applied to columns of Dowex 50W cation-exchange resin.
(18) Frozen aliquots of each sample were dispatched to each of the laboratories, where the aliquots were assayed using the same one-stage, two-stage and chromogenic methods.
(19) Fractions from the boronate gel column or aliquots of NaIO4-treated cell extract are quantitated directly by the RIA.
(20) Aliquots from 13As containing human blood and seeded with eight mycobacterial species were also concentrated directly and using both reagents.
