Better than nothing. I am thinking about using them to sterilize glassware, 96 well plates etc. Also useful for making control vials as sterility can be guaranteed unlike other methods.
Larger units with high capacity can indeed be used, the other possibility is mounting the tube on a rotary platform with a small battery pack over the items to be treated. Also this can be combined with direct feedback of UV intensity and reflection so as not to overdrive the tube and ensure verification that the items are sterile. -Andre ________________________________________ From: volt-nuts <[email protected]> on behalf of J.

Trantham Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2020 6:50 PM To: 'Discussion of precise voltage measurement' Subject: Re: [volt-nuts] Solartron 7081 Rick, Where are you located? I have a couple 7081's and the ability to read, archive, and program most any EPROM you need, assuming I have the EPROM. >From your email, I think you need the TMS2564. It's been a few years since I have opened a 7081 to see how many and what specifically the EPROM's are. Happy to help if I can. Joe -----Original Message----- From: volt-nuts [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Bale Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2020 12:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [volt-nuts] Solartron 7081 I installed all the 7081's static ram chips and of course no joy. It wouldn't be a worth while repair if it was hard! I double checked the +5v and +12v power rails again and that's still looking good. All LEDs just stay on with no display like it's hanging up very early in the boot up sequence. Seems like the next step is to replace the eproms chips. I believe I can find these online, but I will have to program them. Where do I start? I need to invest in a reader/writer. We live in a Windows 10 world. I can run it in DOS if I had to or even in a earlier version of windows in a virtual session. I'd really like to read the old chips as well and compare it to what I'm seeing with saved images that are available from xdevs, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation for an economical way to enter the eprom world? I've seen reader/writers that are over $1000 and ones for $39 and everything in between. Besides confirming it can read the TMS2564 chips, is there specific criteria or features I should be looking for in the reader/writer?
