Modular apparatus

This modular apparatus allows even very special applications. As a further example a combined measurement and irradiation device can be set up where the sample is placed in a Dewar and kept at low temperature. Fast shutters, a beam splitter, and a repositioning device for sample and reference allow the uninterrupted examination of photochemical reactions under specific conditions (see Fig. 4.12) [54].

Fully automated systems can be purchased off the shelf or fully customized. Customized systems offer exactly what the customer wants and needs, for example a system might be optimized for one high volume product. Off the shelf systems are available that are fully integrated systems with components designed by the provider. As with the semiautomated systems modular approaches are also available primarily through automation companies. Modular approaches allow the use of standard industry apparatus that the user already owns and uses (Fig. 5). 

This type of analyser is usually modular in nature and consists of a series of elements (apparatus, instruments) coupled on-line to one another. Figure 2.13 shows the essential components of a straightforward Technicon AutoAnalyzer, namely ... 

Laser diffraction is a fast alternative for analysis of the size distribution of particles in an aerosol cloud. The theory of laser diffraction is well understood [124,125]) but this technique requires special measures to test inhalation devices and to interpret the results correctly. One of the major problems is that flow adjustment through the inhaler is not possible. Furthermore, the presence of carrier particles from adhesive mixtures may disturb the measurement of the fine drug particles and the size distribution obtained is of an unknown dehvered mass fraction of the dose. These practical problems and limitations have been solved by the design of a new modular inhaler adapter for the Sympatec laser diffraction apparatus (Figure 3.6). 

Direct repressors interact with the basal components of the transcription apparatus or with transcriptional activators to inhibit their activity. Specific repressors, analogous to transcriptional activators, are constructed modularly, with a DNA-binding domain and a repressor domain. The repressive character of such domains has been proven in domain swapping experiments. The mechanism of specific repression remains speculative. The following mechanisms are, however, conceivable ...

The Wheaton roller apparatus comes in modular form. The base unit holds the drive and will roll 5 bottles. Up to 8 additional decks can be added to allow rotation of up to 45 bottles. Also available is an alarm system which gives warning of rotational failure, and an auxiliary battery system which will enable the apparatus to operate for up to 48 h in the absence of an electricity supply. 

This modular separation and detection system allows the use of well-understood liquid-liquid extraction separations on timescales of a few seconds, with detection efficiencies near 100%. This extremely fast chemical separation and detection system has been used with a sub-second a-active nuclide [67,68]. However, for the transactinide elements, which are produced in much lower yields with larger amounts of interfering 13-activities, detection of the a-decay of the transactinide isotopes failed. As described in Section 2.2.3, pre-separation with the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator before transport to and separation with SISAK allowed the chemical separation and detection of 4-s 257Rf [34], A schematic of the BGS-RTC-SISAK apparatus is presented in Figure 6. These proof-of-principle experiments have paved the way for detailed liquid-liquid extraction experiments on short-lived transactinide element isotopes. 

In general, a multi-purpose plant should be able to treat many kinds of different feedstocks. In order to achieve this requirement, a flexible design of the mechanical and electrical parts is required. Nevertheless it is not possible to run every feedstock with a fixed arrangement of apparatus and control units. Thwefore a modular... 

A Mossbauer apparatus is relatively simple and can be divided into three parts - the source, the absorber and the detector. The modular nature of the spectrometer enables Mossbauer spectroscopy to be performed under varying conditions in a number of different configurations. Many of these can be interchanged and are listed in Figure 5. 

An HPLC instrument can be a set of individual modules or elements, but it can be designed as a single apparatus as well. The module concept is more flexible in the case of the failure of a single component moreover, the individual parts need not be from the same manufacturer. If you do not like to do minor repairs by yourself you will prefer a compact instrument. This, however, does not need less bench space than a modular set.

Figure E24-1 shows an apparatus for degassing a solvent. Figure E24-2, p. 582, is a block diagram for the component parts of an Alltech Model 153 HPLC. This is probably the simplest HPLC available and is selected because it is modular and has minimum computer control, so the principles can be more easily understood. The wavelength is 254 nm.
