Record 1 2014-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Chemistry)
DEF

A culture flask (as for molds) in which the medium is kept uniform by constant agitation during incubation.

CONT

Cell growth and protein production were carried out in two different cultivation system; 500 ml spinner flask and 500 ml shake flask with working volume of 200 ml.... In this experiment, the agitation speeds of the spinner flask were set at speed range of 60 rpm [revolutions per minute] to 120 rpm.... The spinner flask feature a bulb-shape glass impeller that rotates from a fixed position at the center of the flask, which provides a slow and gentle orbital movement for the suspension culture. Meanwhile the shake flasks were shaken using an incubator shaker.... The agitations provided by spinner flask give better cell growth and higher protein production when compared to shake flasks.

Subject field(s)
  • Rubber
CONT

The rubber hydrocarbon is a chemical compound composed of two elements, carbon and hydrogen, and having the general formula(C5H8) n. The rubber hyrdrocarbon is present in latex as a suspension of minute particles varying in size from 4 to 20 millionths of an inch(0. 1-0. 5 micrometer). The largest particles can be viewed under the ultramicroscope and are seen to be in constant motion, exhibiting the phenomenon known as Brownian movement.
