Preparation apparatus

These limitations have recently been eliminated using solid-state sources of femtosecond pulses. Most of the femtosecond dye laser teclmology that was in wide use in the late 1980s [11] has been rendered obsolete by tliree teclmical developments the self-mode-locked Ti-sapphire oscillator [23, 24, 25, 26 and 27], the chirped-pulse, solid-state amplifier (CPA) [28, 29, 30 and 31], and the non-collinearly pumped optical parametric amplifier (OPA) [32, 33 and 34]- Moreover, although a number of investigators still construct home-built systems with narrowly chosen capabilities, it is now possible to obtain versatile, nearly state-of-the-art apparatus of the type described below Ifom commercial sources. Just as home-built NMR spectrometers capable of multidimensional or solid-state spectroscopies were still being home built in the late 1970s and now are almost exclusively based on commercially prepared apparatus, it is reasonable to expect that ultrafast spectroscopy in the next decade will be conducted almost exclusively with apparatus ifom conmiercial sources based around entirely solid-state systems. 

It is clear that the illustrated flowsheet is quite flexible. As shown, pulses can be produced by a 6-way valve. The valves are electrically actuated so a cycled feed can easily be produced. A separate mixture preparation apparatus has been built, so that preparing the various mixtures needed is quick and simple. 

The PMMA-Phe synthesis, characterization, film preparation, apparatus and experimental scheme are described elsewhere (H) Briefly, the PMMA chains, copolymerized from MMA and Phe-labelled monomers, were characterized via gel permeation chromatography (GPC) M = 411,000, M = 197,000 and M M - 2.08. UV-absoifption measurementsnindicated that ca. I % of all monomer units were Phe-labelled. The sample was dissolved in toluene and was spin-coated onto 1-inch diameter quartz disks. Then, the films (ca. 1 /zm thick) were annealed at 160 C for 60 minutes under vacuum. 

All equipment, the solutions, and the chloramine solution should be kept ice-cold to prevent decomposition during the preparation. Apparatus may be stored in a refrigerator. 

The prepared apparatus allows us to analyze the most common cases of paramagnetic materials based upon the transition metal complexes. These are compared in Table 3 (the magnetic functions were generated at level 6 of the magnetotheoretical hierarchy). 

From container 18 dimethyldichlorosilane is sent into batch box 1 placed over apparatus 2, where a 2% solution of the initiator in dimethyldichlorosilane is prepared. Apparatus 2 is an enameled flask with an agitator and a filling hatch. While the agitator operates, one sends there dimethyldichlorosilane and adds the initiator solution in the amount necessary to form a 2% solution. After 30 minutes of agitation at 20 °C the mixture of dimethyldichlorosilane and initiator is poured into intermediate container 17, from where it is periodically pumped into pressure batch box 4. After that, the mixture self-flows through rotameter 6 into chlorinator 5. The chlorinator is a steel cylindrical apparatus with a heating jacket and a thermometer pocket the lower part of the apparatus contains a distribution device which feeds chlorine. The temperature in the chlorinator is maintained within 65-70 °C and regulated with vapour sent into the jacket of the apparatus and with the speed at which chlorine is fed. 

Normally the rate of this secondary reaction is slow, and UCle is not contaminated with UF4, but in larger-scale preparations, if heat is not adequately dissipated, the rate of the secondary reaction can become considerable. In these circumstances the UCle will be contaminated with UF4. For larger-scale preparations apparatus must therefore be designed to dissipate rapidly the heat released. It should also be noted that with this preparative method it is often convenient to prepare the UCle in situ, e.g., within a spectroscopic cell. This can completely eliminate handling and consequent contamination of the UCle-... 

Preparative Apparatus and Technique. Most operations were carried out with apparatus and techniques as previously described, except for the preparation and manipuladon of 02F< oiv).

Pump. A very Important part of a preparative apparatus is the pump. The flow--rates required should be achieved with a constancy of flow for high efficiency and high throughput rates, this is also necessary at inlet pressures of up to ZOO bar. Pumps that meet these requirements are listed in Table I.

A washing-up machine is used to clean all utensils (implements and parts of preparation apparatus) which have such a form and dimension that they fit into the washing-up machine and can be placed in such a way that all surfaces will be reached by the detergent solution during the washing process. Additionally the utensils must be resistant to the treatment, the cleaning temperature and the used detergents. 

However, once a catalyst is identified for additional studies, usually a 1-10 gram quantity of catalyst is required and these preparations are carried out in dedicated catalyst preparation apparatus and are then evaluated in a 1-4 liter polymerization autoclave designed to produce 40-400 grams of polyethylene, which is required for a more detailed evaluation of polymer properties. Catalysts that provide polymer with improved properties are then scaled up for a pilot plant evaluation which is usually similar to commercial equipment already in operation. Approximately 100-1,000 grams of catalyst is required for a pilot plant study, which provides 10-100 Ibs/hour of polyethylene. A pilot plant trial will usually take place in a continuous mode lasting 1-5 days and producing a total of 200-1,000 lbs of polyethylene. 

Tiselius (1938a) also constructed a special preparative apparatus for large-scale preparations. It was built after the same principles as the analytical model, but with ten times greater dimenaons. This apparatus is shown in Fig. 25. The U-tube consisted of a bottom cell, four intermediate sections, and a top cell. The cross-section area of the TJ-tube was 7.5 cm. The electrode tubes were of 5-1. capacity each due to thdr large dimendons, they were kept outside the refrigerating bath. The coimection tubes between U-tube and electrode tubes were bent as shown in the figure in order to prevent the colder and heavier solution in the U-tube from falling down into the electrode tubes if it did, it would stir up the chloride solution around the electrodes. 

Cell sorter. Cells labeled with fluorescein-conjugated antibody can be separated using a fluorometric preparative apparatus ( cell sorter ) (Hullett et al., 1969). The cell suspension is forced under pressure through a micronozzle which is vibrated, breaking the jet into 40000 droplets per sec. The droplets pass through a laser beam and if a fluorescent cell is present in a droplet, it will be charged and in an electrostatic field deflected into one container, while uncharged droplets are collected in another container.
