What's the difference between coacervate and droplet?

Coacervate


Definition:

  • (a.) Raised into a pile; collected into a crowd; heaped.
  • (v. t.) To heap up; to pile.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Polydispersity of PS played a vital role in determining variables at the critical state of phase separation, such as the composition of coacervate (dense) and lean phases.

  • (6) The structure of the polypentapeptide is one of limited order below 20 degrees C which undergoes an inverse temperature transition to a conformation characterized by a regularly recurring beta-turn at 40 degrees C. The temperature profile for the conformational change is compared to the temperature dependence of elastomeric force of gamma-irradiation cross-linked polypentapeptide coacervate.
  • (7) Coacervates have been suggested as models for cytoplasm since cytoplasm is also essentially an aqueous phase of water-protein-colloid complexes.
  • (8) The overall effect of increasing concentration of SLS was to reduce the weight of coacervate formed.
  • (9) At first EHA was impregnated in wax particles, which were then encapsulated employing the complex coacervation of a gelatin-gum arabic system.

  • (12) The advantages of the coacervate systems over other models for protein binding studies of drugs are discussed.
  • (13) H-(Ala-Pro-Gly-Gly)n-Val-OMe did not coacervate even at as high a temperature as 100 degrees, and H-(Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)n-Val-OMe did not coacervate; however, it precipitated irreversibly around 65--70 degrees C. This suggests the critical role of the Val-Pro hydrophobic side chain interaction in coacervation.
  • (14) Electrophoresis and gelatin adsorption studies revealed that encapsulation by way of simple coacervation by gelatin is caused by the affinity between core and coacervate resulting from gelatin adsorption on the core surface.
  • (15) Recovery of the product as water-insoluble discrete units required the use of formaldehyde and isopropanol for coacervate denaturation and flocculation, respectively.
  • (16) Spherical droplets of clofibrate, prepared by a capillary jet method, were encapsulated in gelatin by simpel coacervation, using sodium sulfate as the coacervating agent.
  • (17) Terbutaline sulphate microcapsules were prepared by coacervation-phase separation induced by solvent evaporation technique.
  • (18) Yields and equilibrium water contents of complex coacervates from these polymers were measured, and microcapsule forming systems based on this effect were developed as potential prostheses for organ transplantation.
  • (19) The stability ranges of the coacervates under varying conditions of temperature, pH, salt concentration and concentration of added organic solvent have been investigated with results that suggest a marked sensitivity of elastin conformation to solution conditions.
  • (20) In complex coacervation method optimal ratio was 0.5:1.

Droplet


Definition:

  • (n.) A little drop; a tear.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The new technique, Surface Immune Precipitation (SIP), entails the application of an antigen sample droplet directly onto the surface of a gel containing antibody, the gel being supported by a reflecting substrate.
  • (2) This inclusion, an aggregate 0.3-0.7 mum in size, consists of small membrane-bounded vesicles with a single dense granule associated with other non-membrane bound small dense droplets.
