The Single Flow Meter (SFM 3001) is calibrated for 1.0 to 25 liter per
minute (LPM) (or 0.1-10 LPM) and is used for controlling flow rate of
pre-mixed gases. The Dual Flow Meter (DFM 3002) is often used in
experiments requiring fine tuning of O2 and
or CO2 concentrations to determine the effect
of different gas mixtures. This system has two flow meters, one
calibrated for 0.1 to 1.0 LPM and the other for 0.1 to 10 LPM. The
Dual Flow Meter has two tubing ports allowing for the mixing of gases
from two separate tanks.
When the gas inlet port of the flow meter for
0.1-1.5 LPM flow meter is closed, the Dual Flow Meter can be used for
pre-mixed gases in the same manner as the Single Flow Meter.
Flow meters are accurately calibrated and have
the same precision as the flow meter used for the full size continuous
flow CO2 incubator chamber. They are set on a
steel stand at an angle for ease of viewing and adjusting flow rate.
Use of Flow Meters with the Hot Box System.
In order to achieve maximum containment of [35S]-radioactive
gases generated during protein labeling experiments, a Flow Meter must
be used in conjunction with the Hot Box System and Hot Filters.
One year unconditional warranty against leaks,
defects and breakage.
