Examples
-
The inspissator is supported on adjustable legs so that the serum may be solidified at any desired "slant," and is heated from below by a Bunsen burner controlled by a thermo-regulator.
-
The serum inspissator (Fig. 110) in its simplest form is a double-walled rectangular copper box, closed in by a loose glass lid, and cased in felt or asbestos -- the space between the walls is filled with water.
-
Tube, and stiffen at 100° C. in the serum inspissator.
-
Solidify in the sloping position in the inspissator at 75° C. for one hour.
