Transference cells

In the case of small ions, Hittorf transference cell measurements may be combined with conductivity data to give the mobility of the ion, that is, the velocity per unit potential gradient in solution, or its equivalent conductance. Alternatively, these may be measured more directly by the moving boundary method. 

In the fuel cell which has a high oxygen potential at one electrode, the cathode, and a low oxygen potential resulting from the oxidation of hydrocarbons at the anode, the cell functions as an oxygen transfer cell in which the reaction...

When a fraction of the cells from an existing culture is placed in a new flask these transferred cells are said to have advanced in passage number. This action is called passaging, splitting cells, or subculture, and each cell line has...

Figure 8.12 Two types of electrotransfer apparatus. At the left a tank transfer cell is shown in an exploded view. The cassette (1) holds the gel (2) and transfer membrane (3) between buffer-saturated filter paper pads (4). The cassette is inserted vertically into the buffer-filled tank (5) between positive and negative electrodes (not shown). A lid with connectors and leads for applying electrical power is not shown. On the right side of the figure is shown an exploded view of a semidry transfer unit. The gel (5) and membrane (6) are sandwiched between buffer-saturated stacks of filter paper (4) and placed between the cathode assembly (3) and anode plate (7). A safety lid (1) attaches to the base (9). Power is applied through cables (8).

The development of large-scale cultures involved transferring cells from stock cultures to a series of two liter Fernbach flasks containing enriched seawater medium. After the early stationary phase of growth had been reached (approximately 15-20 days) each of these cultures were used to innoculate 18 liters of the same medium in 20 liter carboys. Large-scale cultures were grown under continuous light (4300 lux cool white fluorescent) at 27.0° C.

Rutgers and Hendrikx (126) have reviewed existing hydration numbers and have provided some new values for the hydration of several cations and anions based on measurements with a membrane transference cell. Their results are hydration numbers higher than those normally assumed. Thus, apparent hydration numbers for lithium, sodium, and potassium were respectively 22, 13, and 7 while for magnesium, calcium, and zinc, values of 36, 20, and 44 were obtained.

Blotting apparatus transfer cell, gel holder, magnetic stirrer, refrigerated thermostatic circulator unit. 

Fill the cell with transfer buffer and place a stirring bar inside the transfer cell, so that the buffer is stirred during electrotransfer and temperature and conductivity are uniform during electrotransfer. 

Place the gel holder in the transfer cell with the sandwich oriented as follows ANODE/fiber pad, filter paper, nitrocellulose, gel, filter paper, fiber pad/CATHODE.

For the FEM experiments described below, the cluster beam was directed through a small collimation capillary into a separately pumped deposition chamber, which is kept at 1 x 10 8 Torr. A transfer cell equipped with a 2 1/s ion pump enabled a tungsten FEM tip to be 1. inserted into the deposition chamber and positioned with its apex in the cluster beam, 2. withdrawn and transported at 2 x 10 7 Torr to a UHV field emission microscope, and 3. inserted into the field emission apparatus and positioned properly for field emission measurements (6).
