Abstract:
A tray-like holder for flat rectangular objects, such as microscope slides, into which such objects can be easily placed and from which such objects can be easily withdrawn comprises a base with upstanding elongated sidewalls and transverse endwalls to form a major elongated receptacle. This major receptacle is divided into individual smaller receptacles by a plurality of vertical partitions which extend transversely inwardly from each of the longitudinal sidewalls. Between adjacent partitions there is located an abutment on or adjacent to the corresponding longitudinal sidewall. A row of openings in the base is located adjacent and generally parallel with at least one of the longitudinal sidewalls, each of the openings being located between adjacent transverse partitions. An object can be easily placed on the base between adjacent partitions with one end of the object engaging an abutment and the other end of the object extending partially over a corresponding opening in the base. The object can be easily removed by placing a finger into the base opening against the exposed end of the object and lifting the object.
Abstract:
Apparatus to produce data count signals in a form equivalent to C/n + OR - C'', wherein n is a variable and C and C'' are constants is described comprising a source of an initiating signal, a source of a terminating signal, a first time-base generator, a first gated digital/analog convertor, an amplifier, a second time-base generator, a gated counter and a circuit component for adding or subtracting a desired number of pulses to the gated counter. The two signal sources, the first time-base generator, and the first convertor are connected so that the pulses accumulated in the first convertor between the initiating signal and the terminating signal are directly proportional to n. The amplifier is connected between the first and second convertors so as to apply an amplified reference signal to the second convertor which is directly proportional to n. The two signal sources, the second time-base generator, the second convertor, the counter and the comparator are connected so as to produce an output signal in the counter directly proportional to C/n. The component for adding or subtracting pulses is connected to the counter so that the counter output is directly proportional to C/n + OR - C''. This apparatus is especially useful to measure specific gravity of liquids by the falling drop method.

Abstract:
A NOVEL INSOLUBLE POLYMERIC DIAZONIUM SALT COLOR DEVELOPER CONSISTING OF A DIAZOTIZED AROMATIC POLYAMINE BOUND BY AN AMIDE LINKAGE TO A CATION EXCHANGE RESIN CAN BE PREPARED BY REACTING A CATION EXCHANGE RESIN CONTAINING ACID GROUPS WITH A HALOGENATING AGENT TO CONVERT SOME OF THE RESIN ACID GROUPS TO ACYL HALIDE GROUPS, REACTING THE RESULTING ACYL HALIDE GROUPS WITH AN AROMATIC POLYAMINE TO FORM A RESIN CONTAINING AMIDE LINKAGES AND FREE AROMATIC AMINO GROUPS, AND THEN DIAZOTIZING THE FREE AROMATIC AMINO GROUPS. THE RESULTING INSOLUBLE COLOR DEVELOPER CAN BE USED TO DETECT COUPLING COMPOUNDS BY FORMING COLORED REACTION PRODUCTS WITH SUCH COUPLING COMPOUNDS. THE COLOR DEVELOPER CAN ALSO BE USED TO DETECT AN ENZYME SYSTEM WHEREIN THE ENZYME CATALYZES A REACTION WITH A SUITABLE SUBSTRATE TO RELEASE A COUPLING COMPOUND WHICH WILL FORM A COLORED REACTION PRODUCT WITH THE INSOLUBLE COLOR DEVELOPER.

Abstract:
Purified fractions of protease and ribonuclease produced from a Rhizopus mold can be obtained by contacting a solution containing protease and ribonuclease with a cation-exchange material to selectively adsorb the ribonuclease. The purified protease fraction is then separated from the cation-exchange material. A purified ribonuclease fraction is then removed by elution, for example, from the cation-exchange material. The initial protease and ribonuclease-containing solution is preferably purified to remove amyloglucosidase and amylase prior to being separated into protease and ribonuclease fractions.
Abstract:
Potentiometric titration of a wide variety of reagents in solution can be conducted using an ion selective sensing device including a standard reference electrode, a reference electrolyte and a semipermeable polymeric membrane which separates the reference electrolyte from the solution containing the ion being titrated. The semipermeable polymeric membrane contains an ester of phthalic or isophthalic acid which serves to discriminate between the ion being titrated and other ions in the medium.
Abstract:
Proteases can be isolated and separated from impurities, such as colored bodies, sugars, polysaccharides and minerals, by mixing a protease solution containing impurities with a heteropoly acid to form a precipitate with the protease. The resulting precipitate is then separated from the remaining solution and dried. Useful heteropoly acids are phosphotungstic acid, arsenotungstic acid, silicotungstic acid, borotungstic acid, phosphomolybdic acid, arsenomolybdic acid, silicomolybdic acid, boromolybdic acid, phosphovanadic acid, arsenomolybdic acid, silicovanadic acid, borovanadic acid and mixtures and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The clean surface of metals, such as copper and coppercontaining alloys, can be protected from tarnishing by a composition containing a mixture of a surfactant, benzotriazole, sodium bisulfite and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. This composition is generally mixed with water and the clean metal surface is dipped in or otherwise contacted with the aqueous solution.

Abstract:
A lipase enzyme which hydrolyzes glycerides of long-chain carboxylic acids in preference to those of short-chain carboxylic acids can be produced by growing under aerobic conditions a culture of a strain of Absidia in a medium containing appropriate nutrients and then recovering the enzyme therefrom. An especially useful strain is Absidia butleri.
