    Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument adapted to handle a sensor pack containing a plurality of sensors and to perform a test using one of the sensors. The sensor dispensing instrument includes an outer housing and a disk drive mechanism contained therein for rotating the sensor pack and ejecting one of the sensors from the sensor pack and through a sensor opening on the housing. The disk drive mechanism of the sensor dispensing instrument is operated by pressing a button which activates a motor. The motor moves a disk drive pusher in a first direction to rotate the sensor pack, and then moves the disk drive pusher in a second direction to eject a sensor from the sensor cavity and through the sensor opening.

  • Process for purification of anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas
    Patent number: 6719957
    Abstract: High boiling contaminants such as chloro-aromatic compounds are removed from a gas by compressing the gas containing the contaminant, cooling the compressed gas to reduce the temperature of the gas to at least 20° C. above the outlet temperature of a second cooling stage but above the freezing point of the highest melting compound in the first cooling stage, further cooling the gas in a second cooling stage to at least −20° C., returning cooled gas from the second cooling stage to the first cooling stage, and recovering condensate streams which contain the contaminant compound from the first and second cooling stages. An apparatus suitable for carrying out this process is also disclosed.
