Liquid samples are analyzed in one of two ways. For nonvolatile liquids a suitable sample can be prepared by placing a drop of the liquid between two NaCl plates, forming a thin film that typically is less than 0.01 mm thick. Volatile liquids must be placed in a sealed cell to prevent their evaporation. 

The Dynamit-Nobel extmsion process (252) utilizes a volatile plasticizer such as acetone which is injected into the decompression section of a two-stage screw and is uniformly dispersed in the vinyl resin containing a stabilizer. The resulting PVC foam has low density and closed cells. 

The relative effectiveness of nucleating agents in a polymer can be determined by measuring recrystallization exotherms of samples molded at different temperatures (105). The effect of catalyst concentration and filler content has been determined on unsaturated polyesters by using dynamic thermal techniques (124). Effects of formulation change on the heat of mbber vulcanization can be determined by dsc pressurized cells may be needed to reduce volatilization during the cure process (125). 

Metals and metalloids that form alkyl compounds, eg, methylmercury and methylarsenic acid, tributjltin, deserve special concern because these compounds are volatile and accumulate in cells they are poisonous to the central nervous system of higher organisms. Because methylmercury or other metal alkyls may be produced at a rate faster than it is degraded by other organisms, it may accumulate in higher organisms such as fish. Hg species are also reduced to elementary Hg which is soluble in water but lost by volatilization to the atmosphere (40). 

Mounting electrodes in a bioreactor is costly, and there is an additional contamination risk for sensitive cell cultures. Some other sensors of prac ticai importance are those for dissolved oxygen and for dissolved carbon dioxide. The analysis of gas exiting from a bioreactor with an infrared unit that detects carbon dioxide or a paramagnetic unit that detects oxygen (after carbon dioxide removal) has been replaced by mass spec trophotometry. Gas chromatographic procedures coupled with a mass spectrophotometer will detect 1 the volatile components.

An amount of enzyme preparation equivalent to 900 mg of wet cells was made up to 25 ml with the above potassium phosphate buffer solution. 150 mg (1.15 mmol) of 5-fluorouracil and 1.0 gram of thymidine (4.12 mmol) were dissolved in 15 ml of the above potassium phosphate buffer solution. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 18 hours. After this time, enzyme action was stopped by the addition of four volumes of acetone and one volume of peroxide-free diethyl ether. The precipitated solids were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was evaporated under nitrogen at reduced pressure until substantially all volatile organic solvent had been removed. About 20 ml of aqueous solution, essentially free of organic solvent, remained. This solution was diluted to 100 ml with distilled water. 

At the time of writing, in all papers published on adsorption studies on oxides surfaces, spectra have been reported of samples held at the ambient temperature of the sample compartment. It is obvious that when dealing with very volatile adsorbates, low temperature sample cells may be required to increase adsorption and also to prevent rapid desorption of the adsorbed species. In some instances, it is also desirable to record the spectra of species held at elevated temperatures for better correlation with industrial catalytic systems. It should be noted that there are only a few infrared spectra reported in the literature for high temperature studies of catalytic reactions. Sample emission at elevated temperature is a significant experimental complication in investigations of this type.
