Instead, membrane filtration may be used to sterilise the nutrient in this experiment. This can be accomplished by drawing the nutrient from a mixing jar and forcing it through an in-line filter (0.2 p,m pore size) either by gravity or with a peristaltic pump. The sterilised medium is fed into an autoclaved nutrient jar with a rubber stopper fitted with a filtered vent and a hooded sampling port. 

The physical impedance to syneresis by the fat globules, which, in effect, act as stoppers in the pores of the para-casein matrix and thereby reduce the loss of starter cells in the whey exuding from the curd the retained starter cells aggregate around the fat globules... 

Fig. 34 Example of mechanized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs). SEM (a) and TEM (b) images show the structure and morphology of the MSNP platform [238]. (c) Structural formula of the a-cyclodextrin-based snap-top rotaxane that blocks the pores of an enzyme-cleavable mechanized MSNP. The stopper is connected to the stalk (dumbbell) by an ester or an amide bond [254]. (d) Release profile of rhodamine B from the snap-top MSNP. The addition of an esterase enzyme cleaves the ester bond, releasing the stopper, a-cyclodextrin, and cargo from the nanoparticles, which is monitored by the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine B. Controls employing an amide bond snap-top or deactivated enzyme do not release significant amounts of cargo...

Figure 4.25 The synkinetic system of a disulfone bolaamphiphile MLM, an oligoamino-a.,(a-dicarboxy-late pore and an entrapped dye (calcein) can be reversibly opened and closed to iron-ion transport with EDTA stoppers. ...

The cover diagram shows a pore in a vesicle membrane which allows the flow of lithium ions. It is sealed here with a long-chain stopper . See Figure 4.24 on page 82. 

The spacer gel is large pore gel, i.e., it contains less crosslinking and has bigger holes. You will make enough of this for both the spacer gel and the sample gel. To store it, place it in one of the drawers by the apparatus to keep light off of it. Take a clean 10 milliliter stoppered, glass cylinder and add 1 mL of solution B. 

Organic molecules forming complexes with sodium ions in water, such as monensin, speed up ion transport by factors of about 10, molecules that form tunnels by factors of 10 ° and more. Scheme 2.7.1 depicts two typical structures of ion transport agents, namely monensin and filipin. Gramicidine, on the other hand, is thought to form a pore in membranes. The only clear-cut distinction between an ion pore and an ion transporter is that a pore can be closed and reopened by stopper molecules, whereas ion transport will always occur as long as complexation in membranes and decomplexation in water can occur. 

Monensine a, -dicarboxylate is only 2 nm long and has been used in connection with a macrocyclic disulfone-bolaamphiphile. Six molecules of the monensine-bolamnphiphile per vesicle made of about 10" lipid bolaamphiphile molecules are sufficient to produce a pore for lithium ions. If a dicationic bolaamphiphile is added during sonication, no salts are released. Upon lowering the pH, the carboxylic acid groups are neutralized and the stopper disappears in the bulk water. The pore is opened. This bolaamphiphilic stopper cannot, however, be pushed into the hole again (Fig. 2.7.4).

Stopper, and apply vacuum to remove air from the pores of the support. When no more air bubbles escape, seal the vacuum and hold for 5 min. 

The choice of electroporation medium and temperature is also important for this technique. A reduced serum-containing medium, Opti-MEM/5%FBS, was found to be most suitable for the cell types chosen for electroporation. Although prechilled cells were used to counteract the local heating by electric pulse, room temperature electroporation was more favorable than 4°C for the rapid recovery of the electroporated cells (Chakrabarti et al., 1989 Chu et al., 1987). At lower temperatures, membrane pores tend to stay open longer (Stopper et al., 1987) which may have impacts on cell survival. 

Particle contamination of a ready to administer injection or infusion solutions can result from cracking glass ampoules and from piercing rubber stoppers. Particles can also originate from not fully dissolved powders or aggregation of protein substances. In general drip chambers of the administration systems are equipped with 15 pm filters which ensure particle removal and allow a sufficient flow even when gravity infusion is performed. Filters with smaller pore... 

In the sorption experiments, dye solutions were added to different quantities of sorbents into glass-stoppered bottles and subsequently placed on a shaker for 24 h at 28 2°C. From the initial concentrations of sorbents (g/L) and dyes (mg/L), the amounts adsorbed in the sorbent were measured. Percent removal of dyes over synthesised zeolite as a function of contact time, shown in Figure A.4. The amounts sorbed were determined by the difference between initial and final concentrations and expressed as mg of dye/g of sorbent. Under the conditions of the experiments, all systems approached equilibrium within 15 h of contact time. The adsorption capacity of synthesised zeolite was higher due to larger pore size and surface area compared to commercial zeolite. The molecular size of methyl orange facilitates adsorption, resulting in higher adsorption capacity than methylene blue and safranine T. Reduced adsorption in synthesised zeolite (SZ) is due to the inability of the molecule to penetrate all the internal pore structures and less available surface.

Convection currents are less readily set up in liner pores, which lead to greater insulation capabilities of a material, and thermal shock can also be reduced as a larger number of line pores act as more effective crack stoppers than a smaller number of large pores.
