Microscope, Model CM 100. Manufacturer: Philips, The Netherlands.
Intended Use: The instrument will be used by three departments to
conduct various studies of biological and other organisms. These
studies will include by are not limited to the following: (1) analysis
of membrane biogenesis induced by increased HMG-CoA reductase levels,
(2) analysis of embryonic and regenerative neural development in
insects, (3) several studies of 5S RNA-TFIIIA and 42S RNP particles in
the oocyte, (4) research of extracts from purified germ cells and mouse
mutants, (5) assessment of mechanisms that coordinate cell cycle
functions, (6) questions concerning the morphogenesis of glial cells
and neurons, (7) determination of whether strain non-uniformities arise
in muscle cells subject to rapid length perturbations, and (8) tracking
of cells in mitotic specific domains. Application Accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: January 10, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-002. Applicant: Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California, Water Quality Lab, 700 Moreno Avenue, La Verne, CA
91750. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model Autospec. Manufacturer:
Fisons, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to
identify unknown organic compounds that are formed at very low
concentrations in drinking water during disinfection processes and to
study the precursors that when disinfected form the disinfection by-
products. While the main use of the instrument will be in research
applications, it will be used periodically for the education and
training of postdoctoral assistants and undergraduate cooperative-
education students who are working on disinfection by-product studies.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: January 6, 1995.
