The following account refers primarily to commercial apparatus suitable for conducting hydrogenations under pressime the apparatus can, of coimse, be employed for other reactions under high pressures, but slight modifications of experimental procedime wiU probably be necessary. 

The latest commercial apparatus incorporates a microprocessor automatically plot the size distribution as a frequency or cumulative plot. 

Other reported applications are in the field of agrochemistry, e.g. the determination of oil content in oilseeds [155], and in such diverse areas as environmental chemistry, soil samples, foodstuffs, natural products, animal tissues, pharmaceutical drugs, metabolism research, etc. Warning The author has noticed that the seals of the commercial apparatus (fexIKA) contain unwanted extractable material. 

From the foregoing treatment of voltammetry it is clear that for its application sophisticated apparatus is required, especially the electronics moreover, the construction of the electrodes and their mutual positions within the measuring vessel, of adapted size and without or with stirring, requires great care and experience. For this reason it is often advisable to purchase commercial apparatus, which has reached a high level of sophistication and reliability. Here the most desirable property is smooth recording of the voltammetric curve, which necessitates the kind of automation inherently required in the voltammetric method this is different from advanced automation, which is treated in Part C. 

However, the cost of setting up for metal atom chemistry like the Oxford group has become quite high—at least 40,000 for a do-it-yourself apparatus and at least 100,000 for a commercial apparatus. This cost factor is quite inhibiting and there are few chemists who can afford to "have a go" at that price without a very clear idea of the value of what they can achieve. 

Scientific and technical literature provide a wealth of information on the detailed historical and technical developments of CL. Early reviews describing commercial apparatus appeared as early as 1968 [9], In this context it is important to cite the recent comprehensive set of survey updates written by Stanley since 1992 (see [5] and references therein). These include not only instruments but reagents or kits for CL or BL. They constitute an excellent source of information about commercial instrumentation. 

In the present study DSC and TGA data were run on DuPont 910 and DuPont 951 instruments, respectively. Arapahoe Smoke Chamber results were obtained on a commercial apparatus. Coated samples used were commercially prepared zinc arc spray samples on Noryl FN 215 Structural Foam. 

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) compares the two different heat flows one to or from the sample to be studied, the other to or from a substance with no phase transitions in the range to be measured e. g. glassmaking sand. Figure 1.45 is the scheme of a DSC system Fig. 1.46 is a commercial apparatus for DSC measurements. 

Stopped Mixed solutions abruptly stopped and analyzed near mixer. Most popular method. Easy analysis requiring rapidly responding monitor. A 1 ms resolution. Uses small ( = 0.2 ml) volumes. A number of commercial apparatus in wide variety of modes and monitoring methods. 

In industry, the magnitude of surface tension can be monitored with the help of bubble pressure. Air bubbles are pumped through a capillary into the solution, and the pressure measured is calibrated to known surface tension solutions. Using a suitable computer, one can then estimate surface tension values very accurately. Commercial apparatus are also available to monitor surface tension. 

While the external electrical field approach is a method directly modifying the zeta-potential of the capillary wall, it is not applicable with commercial apparatuses. The back-pressure technique, on the other hand, has the disadvantage that the flat electroosmotic flow profile is disrupted by superposition of a pressure-driven laminar flow profile hence, the efficiency of separation deteriorates. 

A considerable number of alternative techniques have been suggested for measuring vapour permeability of plastics, generally with the aim of making the measurement more convenient and increasing sensitivity. For water vapour transmission, carrier gas type commercial apparatus using an infrared sensor is now commonly used. This procedure is standardised in ASTM... 

Fig. 1.21. Typical assemblies of Schlenk ware. Commercial apparatus is illustrated similar apparatus with O-ring joints in place of standard taper joints is preferred by the authors. (

The relative errors on both complex modulus components are expected to be almost equal. These errors can be of the order of 50% or more for certain commercial apparatus, and they vary presumably with temperature, so that E measurements have to be calibrated in both rubbery and glassy domains. 

A variety of commercial apparatuses or gel boxes for vertical PAGE are suitable for native PAGE experiments. Temperature control is critical to the separation of RNA conformers (slow exchange), and thus the box must be designed for use with a circulating water bath. We have obtained good... 

An inexpensive commercial apparatus or equipment adapted from other uses usually makes a light source suitable for most experiments with photochemical reagents. I have found the Rayonet Model RMR-400 minireactor to be very useful. The apparatus comprises a single lamp (26 cm... 

The contribution of the supporting electrolyte to the impurity burden cannot be ignored. Generally the impurities that interfere are heavy metals that may be removed by prolonged electrolysis over a mercury cathode.74 Commercial apparatus is available for removal of heavy-metal impurities by this method. Preelectrolysis procedures that use graphite tapes also have been suggested,75 as has the circulation of the solution through beds of charcoal.76... 

One final variation is the use of centrifugal force to move the mobile phase over the stationary phase.8 This technique has been called centri-chromatography, and a commercial apparatus is available.
