Abstract: An apparatus (foam-lined cassette) to cradle and support the cryo-bag during control rate freezing, storage, shipping, throughout the cold-chain, and in the event of a drop or impact during handling. The cassette lid is at the top of the apparatus, lined with a foam pad capable of withstanding cryogenic temperatures. The lower body of the apparatus is also lined and includes an internal pocket made of the same cryogenically compatible foam material where the cryo-bag can be inserted and cradled snugly. The internal pocket makes a “sandwich” type configuration to prevent any movement of the sample once the cassette is locked, shields the cryo-bag from contacting the hard shell of the cassette, and absorbs any impact forces realized during handling or dropping of the cassette.

Abstract: A hospital faucet assembly is provided that includes an outlet adapted to direct a flow water stream into a sink. An ozone chamber is provided having a water inlet and a water outlet. A flow control valve is connected to the water inlet, and the water outlet is connected to the faucet armature. A sensor is provided which is adapted to control the flow control valve. An ozone generator is located within the chamber, and when a user activates the sensor, the valve opens allowing more water to enter the chamber and then travel out through the water outlet of the ozone chamber to the faucet armature which dispenses the water flow into the sink. A controller is provided and is connected to the control valve and the sensor. The controller is configured to run an automatic cycle on an occasional basis to flush the sink with ozone-rich water in order flush and/or disinfect water located in a trap of the sink drain, or provide other disinfecting functions.

Abstract: A hospital sink and faucet assembly includes a sink with a sink body having an angled faucet deck, a bowl adapted to receive water, and a rim. A laminar flow faucet is connected to the faucet deck and includes an outlet adapted to direct a laminar flow water stream into the bowl. The faucet includes a chamber with a preferably tangential water inlet at the bottom and at least one mesh layer that extends across a cross-section of the chamber to creates a generally constant velocity profile for the water flow across the cross-section of the chamber. The water flow progresses upwardly in the chamber to the outlet where a laminar flow nozzle cuts the water and discharges a circular stream of water out an angle generally perpendicular to the deck and toward the sink bowl. An ozone generator is preferably also in the chamber.
