Water Conservation in Cooling Towers Using Controlled Hydrodynamic Cavitation

Vella P., VRTX Technologies, US

Cooling towers are a component of some buildings’ cooling systems. Where installed, cooling towers can account for up to 30% of the total water used in an average building, a statistic that can be even [...]

Diode Laser Generated Ultrasound for Human Blood Cell Lysis

Ussing T., von Gersdorff L.C., FluimediX, DK

The lysing of human blood leukocyte cells prior to performing e.g. DNA analysis is performed on a routine basis in most biochemical labs. Well-established techniques include using a lysis agent or using mechanical methods such [...]
