Abstract
Methods for modifying the physical, chemical and/or biological properties of a fluid by irradiation are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprising supplying a flow of a fluid to an irradiation chamber; focusing the flow of the fluid so as to create at least one fluid layer; and applying radiation to the fluid layer in a defined portion of the irradiation chamber thereby modifying at least one physical, chemical or biological property of the fluid layer is provided. Systems for the implementation of such methods are also provided.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- supplying a flow of a fluid to an irradiation chamber;
- focusing the flow of the fluid so as to create at least one fluid layer;
- and
- applying radiation to the fluid layer in a defined portion of the irradiation chamber thereby modifying at least one physical, chemical or biological property of the fluid layer.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- supplying a flow of a fluid to an irradiation chamber comprising a neutral fluid and a biological fluid;
- focusing the flow of the fluid so as to create at least two fluid layers in laminar flow, wherein at least one fluid layer comprises the neutral fluid and at least one fluid layer comprises the biological fluid;
- and
- applying radiation to the fluid layers in a defined portion of the irradiation chamber.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- an irradiation chamber comprising at least one inlet for the introduction of a fluid which is to be irradiated in the irradiation chamber and at least one outlet for the withdrawal of the irradiated fluid;
- an irradiation device;
- and
- a focusing device that focuses the fluid which is to be irradiated into at least one fluid layer within a defined portion of the irradiation chamber.
