Michael reactions carried out using a bench-top flow system

Measurement of permeability using a bench-top centrifuge

The commonly used British Standard constant head triaxial permeability test for testing of finegrained soils is relatively time consuming. A reduction in the required time for soil permeability testing would provide potential cost savings to the construction industry, particularly in the construction quality assurance of landfill clay liners. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate an alternat...

Continuous parallel ESI-MS analysis of reactions carried out in a bespoke 3D printed device

Herein, we present an approach for the rapid, straightforward and economical preparation of a tailored reactor device using three-dimensional (3D) printing, which can be directly linked to a high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) for real-time, in-line observations. To highlight the potential of the setup, supramolecular coordination chemistry was carried out in the ...

A validation carried out on 10 pigs

The Extracorporeal CO2 removal device (ECCO2RD) is used in clinics to treat patients suffering from respiratory failures like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this device is to decarboxylate blood externally with low blood flow. A mathematical model is proposed to describe protective ventilation, ARDS and an extracorporeal CO...

A Comparison of Fundamental Performance between Two Bench Top Clinical Chemistry Analyzers

Bench-top evaluation of air flow through a valved peelable introducer sheath.

PURPOSE Air embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication that may occur during the insertion of a central venous catheter. A valved peelable introducer sheath was developed to reduce the likelihood of an air embolus. This study was performed to determine the rate of air flow through this valved introducer sheath under different conditions that may be encountered in a clinical setting. ...
