摘要
Appts. for screening cpds. (I) for biocidal activity is based on inducing and evaluating the forced migration of (I)-treated and untreated nematodes (pref. of the genus Rhabditis). It consists of a 30x20x12 cm (external dimensions) housing on which is a mount which can be moved forward, on rails, by a motor in 1.5mm stages. The mount carries an agar-coated glass plate (9x12 cm) which serves as the nematode migration zone and a d.c. voltage of 50V is applied to the plate. A movable (motor-driven) double arm (the lower branch carrying a light diode and the upper branch a phototransistor) scans the migrating nematodes in a serial manner (i.e. as the mount is advanced in steps). The pulse generated by detection of a nematode is passed to an electronic evaluation system consisting of an amplifier; gating circuit; coupled, monostable multivibrator to produce equal pulse lengths; pulse generating circuit (variable according to the migration distance of the nematodes); a counter; a digital 5-point display plus an output for connection to a computer. The result of the evaluation is displayed as an illuminated no. USE/ADVANTAGE - This appts. allows the degree of injury caused by (I) to be visualised and assessed rapidly. The effects of various (I) concns. can be graded.
