Download or read book Processing by Centrifugation written by Liya L. Regel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Materials Processing at High Gravity, held at Clarkson University, May 29 to June 2, 2000. There were 73 attendees from 16 countries. Since the topics extended well beyond materials processing, it was felt appropriate to name this proceedings "Centrifugal Processing." Processing by Centrifugation includes the traditional bench-scale centrifuges, as well as all rotating systems utilizing the centrifugal and Coriolis forces to provide unique performance. Centrifugation led to the formation of sticky porous Teflon membranes, as well as improved polymeric solar cells. Centrifugation on large equipment improved the chemical vapor deposition of diamond films, influenced the growth and dissolution of semiconductor crystals, and elucidated the influence of gravity on coagulation of colloidal Teflon. A million g centrifuge was constructed and used to study sedimentation in solids and to prepare compositionally graded materials and new phases. Rotation of a pipe about its axis allowed the casting of large-diameter metal alloy pipes as well as coating the interior of pipes with a cermet utilizing self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. Such coatings are highly corrosion and erosion resistant. Flow on a rotating disk was shown to be useful for process intensification, such as large-scale manufacturing of nano-particles, polymerization reactions, and heat & mass transfer. Several theoretical studies dealt with the influence of rotation on fluid convection on surfaces and in pipes, tubes, and porous media. These have applications to integrated-circuit chip manufacturing, alloy casting, oil production, crystal growth, and the operation of rotating machinery.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for biological experiments aboard orbiting laboratories three Cebus albifrons, white-fronted capuchin monkey, were exposed to five headward-directed (+Az) resultant linear acceleration stimuli aboard a centrifuge and their ECG's, skin temperatures, and breathing rates recorded. Marked tachycardia was noted at the start of the centrifugation, followed by bradycardia within 6 to 7 minutes at 7.5 g and within 1 1/2 minutes at 10.3 g. Concomitant with the onset of bradycardia, a loud squeal was usually heard. There were no significent temperature changes, and breathing rates did not vary from normal. Normal heart rate was restored upon cessation of centrifugation. It appears that the Cebus can withstand the acceleration of space travel and therefore will be a good experimental animal in that environment. (Author).

Download or read book Centrifugation Techniques written by Shalinee Naidoo and published by Arcler Press. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cell biology involves the analysis of cells and tissues at both the morphological and biochemical levels in an attempt to understand the molecular mechanisms operating in any living organism. Proper biochemical analysis of biological samples is imperative for constructing complete and true cell biology. The subcellular organization of cells can be studied via electron microscopy or by the separation and subsequent molecular and biochemical analysis of individual cellular components. While electron microscopy provides detailed information about the appearance of cellular organelles, not much information can be obtained regarding their individual functions. As such, a way to separate the different organelles from remaining cellular components was needed (OpenLearn, 2017). This was made possible by a technique known as cell fractionation which allows for the isolation of various cellular components (nuclear, cytosolic and mitochondrial) based on their subcellular compartmentalized distribution followed by analysis of their molecular information ranging from the state and distribution of a cell or subcellular component to their response to a range of treatments (Dimauro et al, 2012). The separation of cellular components and particles by sedimentation is one of the most powerful tools in biology. Even though sedimentation using centrifugation is not a new technology, it is essential for conducting cutting edge genomic and proteomic research, as it aids in providing purified particles of interest. As such, centrifugation forms one of the most important and widely applied research techniques used in various disciplines today. It services a range of research fields such as biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology while allowing large scale applications across a broad spectrum of industries ranging from large scale commercial applications in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries to small scale laboratory-scale scientific studies. Miescher was one of the first researchers to use a centrifuge for the isolation of a cell organelle when he separated nuclei from human pus cells in 1871. A survey conducted at the US National Institutes of Health revealed that over 65% of research workers believe that using centrifugation to purify cells, subcellular organelles, viruses, proteins, and nucleic acids is an essential part of their everyday research, further proving the importance of this technique in today's scientific world (Sigma-Aldrich, 2011). Current research applications rely on centrifugation for the isolation and harvest of cells, sub cellular components and macromolecules in high yields. It is commonly used as a separation technique when gravity separation is too slow and particles within the sample to be separated do not settle readily or at all. This technique has since paved the way for the determination and understanding of fundamental cellular processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, intracellular digestion, protein synthesis as well as transportation of substances in and out of the cell (Graham and Rickwood). Thus centrifuges are now regarded as one of the most basic yet valuable pieces of equipment required in biological laboratories. This book aims to provide an introduction into the history and principles of centrifugation as well as an in depth explanation of the history and principles surrounding centrifugation. It also aims to provide an explanation of commonly used centrifugation techniques and their related practical applications in various industries. Furthermore, to aid in understanding the various principles behind this technique, the basic design of various rotors have been diagrammatically presented. Also in this book is an overview of the currently available centrifuge types and related instrument components as well as a description of centrifugal theory, a table comparing densities of commonly separated macromolecules and additional information on separation techniques together with a comprehensive advice for proper centrifuge handling, maintenance and related safety protocols. There is also further information on sample preparation and and how to design an ideal centrifugation protocol.
