Apparatus for Freezing and Drying Virus in Large Quantities under Uniform Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The apparatus described was designed for the desiccation under uniform conditions of large quantities of yellow fever virus in the frozen state. 2. Several hundred cubic centimeters of virus material, distributed in small containers, have been desiccated simultaneously to almost complete dryness and with no appreciable loss of infectivity. 3. Good keeping qualities of the virus activity are insured by sealing the containers either while evacuated or after filling with dry nitrogen.

متن کاملNumerical Study on Parameters Affecting the Structure of Scaffolds Prepared by Freeze-Drying Method
Freeze-drying is one of the most used methods for preparing scaffolds and is very sensitive to the material and operational parameters such as nucleation temperature, thermal properties of the mold, cooling rate, set freezing point, and slurry height. In the present study, a Finite Element Method (FEM) based code was developed to investigate the effects of such parameters and to eventually ...
متن کاملA Simple Apparatus for Freezing-Drying Histological Specimens
MANY of the conventional types of freezing-drying apparatus employ an oil or mercury diffusion-pump, backed by a rotary pump, to obtain the high vacua necessary to ensure that the water molecules which escape from the specimens have sufficient mean free path to enable them to reach the vapour trap. Clearly, the efficiency of the freezing-drying process might be greatly increased if the specimen...

Traditional paddy dryer systems in Iran cause considerable losses in rice production due to non-uniform drying. In order to decrease the amount of kernel fissuring and to increase the drying rate, fluidized bed method was applied in this study for rough rice drying at temperatures higher than normal. An experimental dryer was used for drying the samples. The drying experiments were set up to fi...
