Harvesting prior to flowering, or manual flower removal might seem obvious and attractive solutions, as this would simultaneously obviate gene flow to other plants via outcrossing and seed formation from the transgenic crop itself.
Our device design utilizing passive flow obviates the use of a bulky external pump and fluidic interconnects, thus improving the simplicity and portability of the process.
Another company, Cardeon, has developed a balloon device that opens up inside the aorta during surgery, shutting off blood flow and obviating the need for a clamp.
This flow management obviated the need for hiring additional staff, in fact hiring was frozen for the period of the project and several staff had even left as a result of retirement or moving jobs.
The key component of the AMR system is a porous magnetic regenerator which allows a heat transfer medium (typically helium gas) to flow through it and therefore obviate intermittently operating an external heat switch.
We overcome the limitations of classical nanofluidic-based stretching by obviating the need for any pressure-driven flow, external mechanical force or bonding.
The technique obviates the use of membranes or laminar flow that may hinder imaging, rinsing steps, cell seeding, and treatment.
However, the ELISPOT assay which can be interpreted using a magnifying lens and with minimal training, obviates the need for technical competence in flow cytometry and costly instrumentation such as a flow cytometer, making it more appealing for use in a developing world setting.
In particular, we wished to study the effects of insulin when they would be unaffected by variation in supply of amino acids, so we chose to make amino acids available at a high concentration, sufficiently high so that any effects of alteration of blood flow or delivery would be obviated.
For directed transport of analytes, we present a novel methodology utilizing surface tension to generate spontaneous flow through the nanoholes with flow rates of 1 μL/min, obviating the need for external pumps or microfluidic interconnects.
The second method employed to obviate the resistive factor when quasistatic methods are used involves reduction of the constant flow.
