English

Subject field(s)
  • Dust Removal
CONT

Dust and particulate collector. Particulates from a paint application and especially from a spray booth, can be of major concern....

CONT

General techniques for gas sensors and air quality monitors. Wetted surface high efficiency atmosphere particulate collector. A variety of instruments have been devised over the years for the collection of particulates for off-line analysis. These include membrane filters, impactors, elutriators and centrifuges. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but one key disadvantage that they all share is that their efficiency varies according to the size of the particles.

PHR

Advanced hybrid particulate collector (AHPC), flue gas particulate collector, high efficiency atmosphere particulate collector.

Domaine(s)
  • Dépoussiérage
CONT

Recueillir et analyser les particules en suspension dans l'atmosphère : - fabriquer un collecteur de particules avec une bande de carton de 5 x 25 cm perforée de 5 trous de 2,5 cm de diamètre; coller une bande de ruban adhésif transparent sur l'une des surfaces en couvrant les trous. Le côté adhésif du ruban recueillera les particules présentes dans l'air. Mettre le collecteur témoin à l'abri de toute poussière.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Equipment

  • Bioengineering
CONT

A test strip was produced by adsorbing the enzyme reagent, glucose oxidase, peroxidase and a chromogen, on to a paper(cellulose) pad. The pad containing the dried reagents is cemented to the end of a plastic strip and responds with a colour change when wetted with a solution containing glucose such as urine or blood. The development of test strips for the determination of glucose in whole blood and serum has made blood assay almost as simple as the detection of urine glucose. In this case the reagent pad is treated with ethyl cellulose which forms a membrane through which small molecules can readily diffuse, but the presence of the coating prevents cells from being adsorbed on the cellulose fibres and allows them to be washed away.

DEF

Bâtonnet enduit d'enzymes et de substrats qui change de couleur en réponse à une substance contenue dans le sang et les urines.

OBS

Les bâtonnets urinaires permettent de déterminer la présence de glucose et de corps cétoniques chez les diabétiques.
