Lower Temperature

Aerosols play an important role in thin film deposition, fine powder generation, and drug delivery. Green processes to form aerosols are needed to eliminate the use of toxic organic solvents and minimize the production of liquid wastes and the emission of halogenated and oxidant-forming organic compounds. We have developed a new patented process, Carbon Dioxide-Assisted Nebulization with a Bubble Dryer® (CAN-BD), that can generate a dense aerosol with small droplet and microbubble sizes that are dried to form particles less than 3 µm in diameter [1­9]. The process uses carbon dioxide as an aerosolization aid, and this permits drying at lower temperature than usually needed in conventional spray-drying. Intimate mixing of supercritical carbon dioxide with aqueous protein solutions causes the formation of microbubbles, which are rapidly dried in less than 5 s. The process is more environmentally benign than traditionally used methods, and is superior when thermally unstable materials are being processed. Fine-particle pharmaceutical powders can be rapidly and easily made by this new CAN-BD process, requiring less energy and eliminating residues of toxicologically or environmentally objectionable solvents. Manufacturing dry powders of pharmaceuticals for pulmonary drug delivery and increasing bioavailability are the purposes of developing and marketing the new Temco Bubble Dryer.

Laser Effect

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.

The advent of the scanning electron microscope (SCEM) has renewed interest in preparing specimens by avoiding the forces of surface tension. The present method of freeze drying by Boyde and Barger (1969) and Small and Marszalek (1969) does prevent surface tension but ice crystal formation and time required for pumping out the specimen to dryness has discouraged us. We believe an attractive alternative to freeze drying is the critical point method originated by Anderson (1951; for electron microscopy. He avoided surface tension effects during drying by first exchanging the specimen water with alcohol, amy L acetate and then with carbon dioxide. He then selected a specific temperature (36.5°C) and pressure (72 Atm.) at which carbon dioxide would pass from the liquid to the gaseous phase without the effect of surface tension This combination of temperature and, pressure is known as the "critical point" of the Liquid.
