English

Subject field(s)
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Refrigeration Engineering
CONT

Heat exchangers may also be constructed in different fashions... The third design is a spiral tube type which consists of spirally wound coils placed in a shell. They are designed as coaxial condensors and coaxial evaporators that are used in refrigeration systems. The heat transfer coefficient is higher in a spiral tube than that for a straight tube. These exchangers are more suitable for clean fluids as cleaning them is almost impossible.

A further advantage of this continuous flow PCR ’lab-on-a-chip’ is that cross-contamination of chemicals is far less of a problem than in a stationary tube format. The benefit to users is that the PCR chip may be reused for longer periods without cleaning.

French

  • Génétique
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

[Dans la nouvelle PCR] les réactions n'ont plus lieu dans un tube successivement soumis à trois températures mais au fil d'un flux de réactifs circulant dans un canal qui traverse à plusieurs reprises trois zones de températures distinctes (95, 77 et 60 degrés. Ce canal long de deux mètres est gravé sur une surface de verre de quelques centimètres carrés et serpente selon un motif répétitif à travers les trois zones de température. La longueur des portions de canal traversant ces zones définit la durée de chacune des trois étapes réactionnelles, et le nombre de répétitions détermine le nombre total de cycles d'amplification. La PCR est donc, de la sorte, réalisée en continu.
