Abstract:
Apparatus for grinding biological samples contained in tubes (12) carried by a turntable (10) driven with oscillating motion, the zone in which the tubes (12) oscillate being surrounded by cooling means (30) enabling the samples in the tubes (12) to be maintained at a desired low temperature, e.g. 4° C., while they are being ground.
Abstract:
A device for collecting particles and microorganisms present in ambient air, the device comprising means for sucking air into a small volume enclosure in which the particles and microorganisms are separated from the sucked-in air by centrifuging, the device being portable, self-contained, and capable of being handled in one hand only, e.g. by means of a handle associated with the air suction means.
Abstract:
A system for collecting particles having a suctioning device and a chamber for centrifugating and collecting particles. The centrifugation chamber having a guiding edge as well as an air inlet and an air outlet. The device having an assembly including an air suctioning conduit, a member including a guiding and receiving system, at least one guiding edge of the chamber, the member being mobile relative to the conduit between a first position, wherein the at least one guiding edge can be guided and received in the guiding and receiving system and a second position for collecting particles, where the air outlet of the chamber is applied on an end of the conduit.
Abstract:
A portable device for collecting particles and microorganisms is provided. The device includes a cyclone enclosure for centrifuging air, external air inlet for admitting air into the enclosure, and air outlet connected by a coupling to an air inlet filter of an individual motorized respiratory protection appliance.
Abstract:
An optical filtering device, in particular for remote gas detection, including a member comprising a tubular passage accommodating a plurality of reflective structures capable of reflecting infrared wavelengths, said structures being elongated along an axis of the tubular passage and arranged around the axis. The reflective structures comprise means of filtering by absorption of bands of different wavelengths located in the infrared spectral band.
