L'hyperthermie doit être distinguée de la fièvre. Si ces deux phénomènes sont caractérisés par une élévation de la température de l'organisme, ils n'ont pas la même origine. L'hyperthermie est due à une accumulation de chaleur et constitue un phénomène anormal. La fièvre est quant à elle due à un déplacement du point d'équilibre thermique et constitue un mécanisme de défense de l'organisme. 4, record 1, French, - fi%C3%A8vre

Ultrafiltration apparatus used in the removal of bacteria, pyrogen, virus; concentration of protein, virus; enzymes, and prefiltration of sample for electrophoresis. The cell holder consists of a bottom plate which contains the membrane with the membrane support and a reservoir; a top plate which contains a filling port, a pressure inlet. Magnetic stirring is built into the cell holder to minimize concentration polarization on the membrane surface and to avoid foaming when the volume is low. 2, record 6, English, - stirred%20cell
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A stirred cell ... is capable of pressurization, and the contents are stirred with a magnetic stirrer to prevent concentration polarization at the membrane. These units are available with capacities ranging from a few millilitres up to some 21. Although not suitable for large-scale work the units are useful for preliminary trials as well as concentration of column eluates. 3, record 6, English, - stirred%20cell

Les pyrogènes sont des impuretés qui, dans un soluté administré par voie veineuse, engendrent une réaction fébrile. Les préparations modernes de qualité en sont soigneusement débarrassées : on les dit en anglais «pyrogen free», ce qui peut se traduire par «dépourvu de substances pyrogènes». 2, record 8, French, - vapeur%20d%C3%A9pourvue%20de%20substances%20pyrog%C3%A8nes
