Spore Strips, Crushable S
303-987-8000 or 800-992-6372 [email protected] Regulatory officials and sterilization experts have voiced concerns regarding the appropriateness of using a Biological Indicator (BI) Ampoule interchangeably with spore strips or other approved self-contained Biological Indicators (BIs). They argued spores in a sealed glass ampoule do not have direct contact with the steam, and this lack of direct contact with the sterilant caused the Ampoule to behave differently than other types of BIs. There was no scientific data to support this argument, only the belief that since the spores do not have direct contact with the steam, the Ampoule should not be used in porous load cycles because a “poor quality steam environment” might not be detected by the Ampoule. This argument disregards the fact that the Ampoule BIs are tested for population, Dvalue and Zvalue by the same standardized methods and equipment that are used to test other BIs. The following report will describe various tests and data collected to determine if the Ampoule BI behaves equivalently to spore strips and other self-contained BIs. Background: Biological Indicators (BIs) are used to determine whether a sterilizer has delivered a lethal cycle. Evaluation of resistant, spore-forming microorganisms processed through steam cycles gives the operator a direct measurement of the lethality delivered by the sterilizer during that particular cycle. The organisms used are of known quantity (population) and resistance (Dvalue). The organisms are packaged in such a way as to allow the sterilant access to the spores, and allow for either enumeration or recovery of surviving organisms. -

Influence of Carton Stacking Patterns on Pear Cooling Rates
Historic, archived document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices ~& rg^ gqj OMflflfl INFLUENCE OF j CARTON STACKING PATTERNS ON PEAR COOLING RATES Marketing Research Report No. 1 7 1 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agricultural Marketing Service Marketing Research Division Washington, D. C. PREFACE The authors appreciate the help of the members of the Oregon- Washington-California Pear Bureau who made facilities and fruit available for the experiment. Without the cooperation of these mem- bers, this work could not have been conducted. Acknowledgment is made of the assistance given by R. A. Patterson, secretary, Oregon- Washington-California Pear Bureau; Ray Baker, chairman, Research Committee of the Pear Bureau; and James Main, representative, Container Corporation of America, in arranging for various details and test locations. This is an interim report on one phase of the long-range research projects of the Agricultural Marketing Service to improve the opera- tion and design of cold storage houses for tree fruits and the posthar- vest handling of these fruits. SUMMARY A new type of fiberboard carton for storing and shipping Anjou pears was tested in pilot plant operations in the Pacific Northwest. Results of the tests revealed that stacking arrangements with this carton can affect the cooling of the pears and, consequently, their condition at the end of the storage period. When containers were stacked to allow some air flow between the stacks, from 75 to 82 hours were required to remove from pears in these multiple-layer fiberboard cartons enough of the field heat to retard ripening, compared with 50 hours for those in wooden boxes. -
VSMOW Triple Point of Water Cells: Borosilicate Versus Fused-Quartz
VSMOW Triple Point of Water Cells: Borosilicate versus Fused- Quartz M. Zhao1,3 and G. F. Strouse 2 1 Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientific Division, American Fork, Utah 84003, U.S.A. 2 National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, U.S.A. 3 To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT To investigate an ideal container material for the triple point of water (TPW) cell, and reduce the influence to the triple-point temperature due to the deviation of the isotopic composition of the water, we developed and tested both borosilicate and fused-quartz glass shelled TPW cells with isotopic composition substantially matching that of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW). Through a specially designed manufacturing system, the isotopic composition, δD and δ18O, of the water in the TPW cell could be controlled within ±10‰ (per mil) and ±1.5‰ respectively, resulting in control of the isotopic temperature correction to better than ±8 µK. Through an ampoule attached to the cell, the isotopic composition of the water in the cell could be analyzed individually. After manufacture, the initial triple-point temperature of the two types of cell were measured and compared to assess the quality of the cells and manufacturing process. Cells fabricated with the new system agree to within 50 µK. Two innovatively-designed borosilicate and fused-quartz TPW cells were made, each with six attached ampoules. We removed one ampoule every six months to track any changes in purity of the water over time. KEY WORDS: isotopic composition; ITS-90, TPW cell; Vienna standard mean ocean water; VSMOW; water impurities; water triple point. -

CONTAINERS FOR SHIPPING APPLES HOMER C. WOODWARD MAINE- AGRICULTURAL EXPERIME UNIVERSITY of MAINE OCTOBER 1953 SUMMARY Mcintosh apples, the most popular variety in Maine, are very susceptible to bruising which seriously affects the quality of the fruit. It has been shown that much of the bruising can be pre vented by proper packaging and handling. The apples used in tbis study which was conducted during two marketing seasons, ]951-52 and 1952-53, were graded and pack~d by hand at Highmoor Farm (Monmouth, Maine) and shipped by farm truck to Portland, Maine; one-half of each ship ment went directly to retail stores and one-half to the warehouses serving these stores. Other shipments were made by truck to Augusta and then by railway express to Kingston, Rhode Island. These tests were conducted in three shipping periods--early, mid season, and late--so that observations of bruising could be made at different stages of maturity of the fruit. -

ACETALDEHYDE DETERMINATION When analyzing wines for total acetaldehyde content, a small percentage (3-4% in wines containing 20% ethanol and less than 1% in table wine containing 12% ethanol) is bound as acetal. This is not recovered in the usual procedures. The procedure given below is that of Jaulmes and Ham elle as tested by Guymon and Wright and is an official method of the AOAC. Modifications to consider the acetal concentration can be made. The air oxidative changes taking place during the alkaline titration step are pre vented by addition of a chelating agent (EDTA) to bind copper present.
