Morphology

reisolation = isolation (transparent) = re + isolate + ion

Adding 're-' to 'isolation' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'isolation again'.

Etymology

The word reisolation breaks into re- meaning 'again' and isolate meaning 'to make separate', which is like an 'island' or a place apart. So, reisolation is the act of making something separate again, as when scientists isolate bacteria or patients again to study them.
