Abstract: Simultaneous slicing and washing of relatively firm raw vegetable or fruit products is accomplished in a vat of water into which a slicer apparatus (21) is positioned such that the slices are formed and discharge directly into the water (13). An inclined takeout conveyor (17) serves to receive the slices and remove them from the water. A circulating water current and fluid jets (44,46) urge the slices to disperse onto the conveyor. A spray of water or air blast (47) removes residual vegetable matter from the slice surfaces before leaving the takeout conveyor for further processing. Slicing and washing a vegetable is undertaken in a flume volute (52) dispersing the slices onto a takeout conveyor (56); water medium being collected in a tub and recycled back to flow in the flume to a level that covers the slicer's operative parts. The apparatus may be used for simultaneous slicing and cooking of raw vegetables, where hot cooking oil is maintained in the system and recycled for reheating. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Device ( 1 ) for assaying a particulate analyte, comprising (a) a receptacle ( 2 ) for receiving a suspension ( 5 ) of particulate analyte, and containing label ( 3 ) for the particulate analyte, and (b) a porous detection material ( 4 ) that is permeable to label ( 3 ) but is impermeable to particulate analyte, the detection material ( 4 ) being arranged within receptacle ( 2 ) such that introduction of suspension ( 5 ) of particulate analyte into receptacle ( 2 ) forms liquid communication between label ( 3 ) and detection material ( 4 ). After liquid sample ( 5 ) is introduced into the receptacle ( 2 ), capillary flow through the porous detection material ( 4 ) begins. Particulate analyte cannot flow through the detection material ( 4 ) and is captured at its surface. Addition of liquid sample ( 5 ) also releases the label ( 3 ) within the receptacle ( 2 ), which is then free to flow through the detection material ( 4 ). Label ( 3 ) encounters the captured analyte and gives a signal ( 7 ). Label is prevented from running ahead of the analyte, resulting in high sensitivity.
