  • Microwave apparatus for heating liquid in a closed plastic container
    Patent number: 4336435
    Abstract: The microwave heating apparatus consists of a microwave cavity, a energizing source, a mechanism for holding and agitating a load, and a temperature detector for continuously monitoring the temperature of the load. It is particularly useful for heating and quickly thawing frozen blood plasma or intravenous admixtures as needed. These must be thawed uniformly and to some preselected temperature so as not to destroy their effectiveness. It also helps to prevent wastage of the blood plasma thawed in anticipation of an emergency.
