| Ampicillin | An antibiotic widely used in clinical treatment and rDNA research. It is a derivative of penicillin, which kills bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of the cell wall. |
| | |
| Amplification | An increase in the number of copies of a specific DNA fragment; can be In Vivo or In Vitro |
| | |
| Amplification (ii) | The production of additional copies of a chromosomal sequence, found as either intrachromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA. |
| | |
| Ampoule or Ampule | A small glass vial sealed after filling and one of the earliest devices developed for safe storage of sterile injectable unit. |
| | |
| Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis | An inherited, fatal degenerative nerve disorder, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. |
| | |
| Anabolism | The intracellular process involved in the synthesis of more complex compounds than those involved in catabolism (for example, glucose to glycogen) and requires energy. |
| | |
| Anaerobe | A microorganism that thrives best, or only, when deprived of oxygen.
1. Facultative anaerobe: one able to grow in the presence or absence of free oxygen.
2. Obligate or obligatory anaerobe: one that will grow only in the absence of free oxygen. |
| | |
| Anaerobic | Relating to an anaerobe. |
| | |
| Anaerobic Bacteria | Bacteria capable of growing in the absence of Oxygen. |
| | |
| Analog | Pertaining to data that consists of continuously variable physical qualities |
| | |
| Analytical Data Interchange (ANDI) | A generic file format. It was common practice before CFR 21 Part 11 to save information from analytical instruments in this file format. The disadvantage now is that the approach does not allow replaying of data on a different system to yield the same result. |
| | |
| Analytical Method | Small scale process used to characterize and/or separate a mixture, a compound, or an unknown material into its constituent parts or elements. |
| | |
| Ancillary Material | Material used in preparing drugs that does not become a component of the drug (e.g. steam, air, N2, DI water). |
| | |
| Anemometer | A device that measures air speed |
| | |
| Angstrom (?) | A unit of length equal to one hundred-millionth of a centimeter (one ten-thousandth of a micron) used especially to specify radiation wavelengths. |
| | |
| Anion | A negatively charged particle or ion |
| | |
| Anion Exchange Resin | An ion exchange material that removes anions from solution by exchanging them with hydroxyl ions. |
| | |
| Anneal | The process by which the complementary base pairs in DNA strands combine. |
| | |
| Annealing | A treatment process for steel in which the metal is heated and held at a suitable temperature and then cooled at a suitable rate for the purpose of reducing hardness, improving machinability, facilitating cold working, producing a desired microstructure, or obtaining desired mechanical, physical, or other properties. |
| | |
| Anti-interferon | An antibody to an interferon. Used for the purification of interferons. |
