Abstract
The method and assembly accommodate parallel processing of a plurality of materials such as catalysts simultaneously through use of interactive modules for sizing of material particles to predetermined substantially identical size, for collecting a substantially identical dose of each material, for feeding the dose of each material into a reactor vessel, and for maintaining integrity of the modules, or units thereof, intact during interaction between structures so no particulate material is lost during necessary processing for ultimate efficacy testing in a least compromised manner.
Claims16
An assembly for parallel handling of a plurality of materials comprising at least:
- a containment module for containing a plurality of materials, said materials identifiable by the spatial orientation within the containment module;
- a precision volume dosing module for collecting a substantially identical precision volume of each material, said precision volumes also in a spatially identifiable orientation;
- and
- a feed module by means of which the precision volume of each material is transferred into respective vessels with the materials still having a spatially identifiable format.
