A Mechanical Measuring Instrument for Sterile Liquids
نویسنده
چکیده
An instrument is described by which aliquot portions of a liquid may be mechanically measured and delivered. It was devised especially for use in immunological experiments, to take the place of a graduated pipette in setting up serum tests. The instrument may be set for any quantity within its capacity and measures sterile liquids without danger of contamination. It may therefore find a wider application in other procedures requiring sterile measurements of small amounts of liquid.

Aseptic Laboratory Techniques: Volume Transfers with Serological Pipettes and Micropipettors
Microorganisms are everywhere - in the air, soil, and human body as well as on inanimate surfaces like laboratory benches and computer keyboards. The ubiquity of microbes creates a copious supply of potential contaminants in a laboratory. To ensure experimental success, the number of contaminants on equipment and work surfaces must be minimized. Common among many experiments in microbiology are...
متن کاملInstrument for Simultaneous Measurement of Density and Viscosity
The speed of torsional stress waves transmitted in solid waveguides submerged in a liquid depends, among other things, on the liquid's density and viscosity and the waveguides' cross-sectional geometry. By measuring the speed of torsional stress waves in two waveguides of different cross-sectional geometries, one can obtain both the liquid's density and viscosity. An online, real-time sensor fo...
متن کاملA noncontacting technique for measuring surface tension of liquids
We have developed a novel instrument for measuring the surface tension of liquids. It utilizes ultrasonic and optical methods to excite and detect a capillary wave packet. A focused ultrasonic transducer is used to generate a mound on the surface of a liquid. Capillary waves propagate radially outward from the mound, and a noncontacting confocal optical microscope measures the amplitude of the ...

An instrument was developed for measuring real time changes in the surface tension and viscosity of multicomponent droplets of miscible liquids and other soft materials. Droplets containing glycerol and water were supported on superamphiphobic surfaces and vibrated by applying a short mechanical impulse. Laser light was refracted through the droplets and allowed to fall on the surface of a phot...
