  • Patent number: 5809730
    Abstract: A mounting system for mounting filter-fan units in a clean room has support rails arranged at the ceiling of the clean room in a grid structure that provides receiving openings for the filter-fan units. The support rails have support surfaces for the filter-fan units, wherein opposing ones of the support surfaces define the receiving openings. Support members are placed onto the support surfaces so as to project into the receiving openings. The receiving openings have at least one of the support members placed onto at least two opposing ones of the support surfaces, respectively, for supporting the filter-fan units thereon.

  • Patent number: 5297990
    Abstract: A filter-ventilator-arrangement for employment with clean chambers with at least one ventilator of which the pressure side is located toward an air flow chamber which is limited by boundary walls including a flow chamber formed by at least one annular channel of which one of two boundary walls at least consists of a noise-damping material. Furthermore at least an outer boundary wall consists of noise-damping material. The arrangement includes modular units having several annular channels of which the boundary walls decrease in height from the outside to the inside. Each unit has at least one filter which is arranged in a region below the flow chamber. Innermost boundary walls with inner sides thereof adjoin a plate consisting of noise-damping material. The boundary walls are secured, hanging or suspended on the cover sealing part. At least one heat exchanger lies in a suction region of the ventilator via which the return air flows.

  • Patent number: 5053326
    Abstract: In order to carry out hybridization reactions by forming a complex between a polynucleotide and a detectable substance and using the complex thus formed for hybridization reactions, a single strand polynucleotide is reacted with a positively charged nucleic acid binding detectable protein or polyamine in solution and the resultant complex is covalently bound with a cross-linking agent and the polynucleotide compound obtained is used as a marker in hybridization experiments in the elucidation of complementary sequences in foreign polynucleotides. The protein may be an enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase modified by a polyamine e.g. a polyethylene imine to provide a positively charged region. Assay sensitivity may be enhanced by performing the hybridization in the presence of about 6% (w/v) of a polyethylene glycol.
