A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature. It greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings by trying to be as adiabatic as possible.
Expanded facilities, funded by the National Cancer Institute, were provided by the construction in 1964 of the McArdle Laboratory building in the center of the UW-Madison campus. In 2014 most of the labs of the McArdle Laboratory moved into the new state-of-the-art Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR).
Insulated shipping containers are a type of packaging used to ship temperature sensitive products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, organs, blood, biologic materials, vaccines [1] and chemicals. They are used as part of a cold chain to help maintain product freshness and efficacy.
Exact Sciences Corp. is an American molecular diagnostics company based in Madison, Wisconsin specializing in the detection of early stage cancers. The company's initial focus was on the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer; in 2014 it launched Cologuard, the first stool DNA test for colorectal cancer.
In laboratory and other scientific settings, they are usually referred to simply as flasks. Flasks come in a number of shapes and a wide range of sizes, but a common distinguishing aspect in their shapes is a wider vessel "body" and one (or sometimes more) narrower tubular sections at the top called necks which have an opening at the top.
For a few years the lab at Madison remained the world's only institution dedicated to research on wood and its uses. In those first years under McGarvey Cline and Howard Weiss, the lab's focus was on wood preservation. In 1911 Harry Tiemann patented a humidity-regulated dry kiln that improved the quality of dried wood and reduced waste.
The new Laboratory location, illustrated between the 1930s and 40s. The lab's work grew and in 1919 there was already a proposal for a new facility. It was finally funded in 1928. The UW provided 10 acres (4.0 ha) on the west end of campus and the Forest Service built the new lab in 1931 and 1932.
Common cap sizes include 33-430 (33mm), 38-430 (38mm), and GL 45 (45mm). Caps range in size from narrow mouthed to wide mouthed and often a glass or plastic funnel is needed to properly fill a reagent bottle from a larger or equal sized container's mouth. Reagent bottle caps are commonly said to be "autoclavable".
