Laminar flow boxes

In general, extreme care has to be taken when LB films are prepared, since tire quality of the resulting films depends cmcially on tire preparation conditions. The best place for an LB trough is a laboratory where tire surroundings, i.e. temperature, humidity and atmosphere, are completely controlled. Often it is placed in a laminar flow box. Also, tire trough should be installed in a shock-free environment. 

The basic cleaning procedure is quite simple. The thick lacquer coating is applied to the precleaned surface with a brush or by dipping. The parts are then allowed to dry completely. In a subsequent operation, performed in a laminar flow box to prevent recontamination, the lacquer film is stripped off. Stripping is easier if a wire loop is embedded in the coating. Attempts to strip off the film in vacuum prior to thin-film deposition were only partly successful because of the difficulty in detecting surface residues inside the evacuated system. 

Hoods should not be designed to recycle exhaust air into the laboratory. Hoods that do not vent to the outside, but rather filter in-laboratory air, are called laminar flow boxes. These are important for working with dusty radioactive materials, like soils, but are not appropriate for most other laboratory operations. Laminar flow boxes should be clearly labeled so that laboratory policy can limit the analytical operations that can be performed in them. 

Synthesis of PLL- -PEG and Derivatives. The synthesis of PLL- -PEG was first described by Sawhney and Hubbell. The procedure used here is based on the protocol developed by Elbert and HubbeU i and described recently by our group.All mixing and dialysis steps were carried out in a laminar flow box, and the lyophilized pol3rmers were stored in a freezer at —25 °C until just before their use in an experiment. 

When the Test for Sterility was first published in the 1930s, it was, at best, being done in glove boxes. The pharmacopeias recognized the probability of incidental contamination and permitted, in the event of Test failure, an automatic right to retest without further ado. However, with the advent of HEPA filtration and laminar flow technology in the 1960s, the actual frequency...

Figure 7.5 shows the geometry and boundary conditions for the laminar flow in porous media. The domain is a square box of dimensions 1x1, and the computational mesh contains 51 x 51 points. No slip condition is adopted for velocity vector components. The other conditions, not shown in Figure 7.5, are of the Neumann type. 

Figure 3-6 Problems associated with some statistical methods of mixture characterization. If a different set of samples is selected from (a) than the one enclosed in the highlighted box, a different overall concentration is calculated each time. Real mixing systems, such as stirred tanks with laminar flow (b), exhibit such heterogeneity. If measured by a set of electrodes, the concentration of H+ depends strongly on the placement of the electrodes in the tank.
