Chopped inserts: a convenient alternative to agarose/DNA inserts or beads

Capillary inserts in microcirculatory systems.

Microfluidic loops (i.e. closed fluid paths) pose specific practical challenges such as priming, introducing analytes or reagents in a controlled way and sampling products. In this technical note we address these three issues using a removable part of the microchannel that we call a 'capillary insert'.

Review of Estrous Syncrhonization Systems: Cidr Inserts

Introduction Although estrous synchronization has been cited over the past several decades to have significant impact on reproductive performance of beef cattle (Schafer et al., 1990), only a limited percent of beef cattle operations in the U.S. synchronize estrus. In a summary by the National Animal Health Monitoring Systems (NAHMS) only 3.3% of beef cattle in the U.S. were being synchronized ...

Molded-In Inserts: Precautions and Guidelines

When end use considerations preclude complete utilization of the multifunctional design capabilities of DuPont engineering plastics, components can be joined through a variety of relatively quick and inexpensive assembly techniques. Among them: press and snap fits, cold heading cementing self-tapping screws, heat staking and spin, vibration and sonic welding. There is still another method of jo...

Ofloxacin Ocular Inserts: Design, Formulation and Evaluation

In developing a drug delivery strategy, issues of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination must be considered. The eye presents unique opportunities and challenges when it comes to the delivery of pharmaceuticals. While absorption by this route is bungling, there are few side effects with conventional ocular dosage forms. Hence, ocular inserts were prepared with prolonged release o...
