What's the difference between resuspended, reconstituted and resolubilised?

Question

I translate French to English lab reports and never know which word best translates "repris en eau ppi" resuspended in water for injections? what do the other words mean? Are they different? Thanks

Answer 1

Resuspended- The solution starts to form a cake or thick layer at the bottom of the bottle. Like in orange juice when the orange fibres settle at the bottom. Just shaking the juice resuspends the fibres into the solution so it is evely spread and not just at the bottom.

Reconstituted- The suspension is dried or changed form and adding water for example takes it back to the original form. Milk powder is reconstituted with water. It goes from milk -->powder -->milk.

Resolublised- This is when a change in the solution causes a undissolved substance to go back into solution. Cant think of an easy example. lignocaine in an acidic environment is soluble but not in a basic one so we can resolublise it by changing the pH.

Hope this helps.
