Odours were directed from two polythene tents connected to the arms of a Y-tube olfactometer by polythene lay-flat tubing (figure 1).
Gauze was placed at the junction of the lay-flat tubing with the traps to restrain responding mosquitoes inside the boxes and prevented them from flying into the tubing and into the tents (figure 1C).
Standard triolein containing (1 mL and ≥95% pure) SPMDs were purchased from Environmental Sampling Technologies St . Joseph, MO) and consisted of 91 106 cm strips of 2.5 cm wide low-density polyethylene lay-flat tubing with a wall thickness of 70 95 μm, surface area of 450 cm, and total weight of 4.5 g.
Corning Incorporated (formerly Corning Glass Works), the city's chief industry, originated in 1868 as the Brooklyn Flint Glass Works and produces flat glass, bulbs, tubing, fibre optics, and aerospace products.
The original spiral tube assembly for high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) is further improved by a new tube configuration called "flat-twisted tubing" which was made by extruding the tube (1.6 mm I.D).
After comparing the separation efficiency in terms of the peak resolutions, theoretical plate numbers, and separation times, it was determined that the flat-twisted tubing was more effective in separating these protein samples.
Dialysis tubing cellulose membrane, average flat width of 33 mm, was acquired from Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany.
Standard PTFE tubing (1.6 mm ID) and the modified flat-twisted tubing were used as the separation column.
Infusions were made through a fine needle with a flat tip (36 gauge; Coopers Needle Works, Birmingham, UK) connected via PEG tubing to a 5-μl syringe (Hamilton) held by a microliter infusion pump.
In their study, MRI images were also acquired in the treatment position in 39% of patients (flat table, skin marking of radiation ports labelled with MR detectable tubing to access the adequacy of port placement).
