Abstract

An exposure system for experimental animals includes a container for a single animal which has a double wall. The animal is confined within the inner wall. Gaseous material enters a first end, flows over the entire animal, then back between the walls and out the first end. The system also includes an arrangement of valve-controlled manifolds for supplying gaseous material to, and exhausting it from, the containers. 6 figs.

Interchangeable whole-body and nose-only exposure system

Patent Cannon, William C. (Richland, WA); Allemann, Rudolph T. (Richland, WA); Moss, Owen R. (Cary, NC); ...

Nose-only exposure system

Patent Cannon, William C. (Richland, WA); Bass, Edward W. (Kennewick, WA); Decker, Jr., John R. (Pasco, WA)

An exposure system for supplying a gaseous material, i.e. an aerosol, gas or a vapor, directly to the noses of experimental animals includes concentric vertical inner and outer manifolds. The outer manifold connects with the necks of a large number of bottles in which the animals are confined with their noses adjacent the bottle necks. Readily detachable small tubes communicate with the inner manifold and extend to the necks of the bottles. The upper end of the outer manifold and the lower end of the inner manifold are closed. Gaseous material is supplied to the upper end of the innermore »« less

Nose-only inhalation exposure system for generation, treatment and characterization of formaldehyde vapor

Journal Article Leach, C.L.; Oberg, S.G.; Sharma, R.P.; ... - Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

A description of a novel symmetrical nose-only inhalation chamber for small animals is presented. The chamber utilizes a circular design and a round baffle plate around which the test atmosphere is evenly drawn in order to expose each symmetrically placed animal port to equivalent gas concentrations without exposing animals to each other's expired gases. The nose-only mode may be more suitable for inhalation exposures as compared to whole-body exposures which allow skin contamination and possible aerosol ingestion through preening habits. Evidence is presented that nose-only exposure which requires animal restraint is no more stressful than freely-caged exposure as measured bymore »« less

Nose-only exposure system for inhalation exposures of rodents to large particles

Journal Article Yeh, H.C.; Snipes, M.B.; Brodbeck, R.D. - Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

A large-particle exposure system for animals was designed, constructed and evaluated. The system was designed by incorporating a fluidized bed aerosol generator (FBG) and a nose-only exposure device to accommodate 40 small animals into a single unit. The system has four levels of exposure ports, each level having ten exposure ports radially positioned around the aerosol delivery components of the system. The aerosol generator produces aerosols that travel to the top of the system then downwards in order to be drawn past each animal's nose via vacuum ports immediately above the exposure ports. Nearly monodisperse polystyrene latex aerosols with nominalmore »« less

System for whole body imaging and count profiling with a scintillation camera

Patent Kaplan, E.; Cooke, M.B.D.

The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for the radionuclide imaging of the whole body of a patient using an unmodified scintillation camera which permits a patient to be continuously moved under or over the stationary camera face along one axis at a time, parallel passes being made to increase the dimension of the other axis. The system includes a unique electrical circuit which makes it possible to digitally generate new matrix coordinates by summing the coordinates of a first fixed reference frame and the coordinates of a second moving reference frame.
