Bringing u p germ-free r a t s . . . calls for seamless gloves made by the exclusive Anode process
A
SINGLE- PIECE, arm-length glove is an important advance i n rearing germ-free rats—-a bacteriological study being made in the" Laboratories of Bacteriology at the University of Notre Dame which may lead to new knowledge in the sciences of nutrition and disease. Previously a two-piece rubber glove had been used. However, the Anode dipping process made possible this intricate and improved type glove, thus helping
laboratory workers keep rats germ-free for as many as 300 days at a time! Failure of the glove at any time during the observation periods might have caused the loss of thousands of man-hours of patient care and study. Yet intricate shapes and rigid specifications are nothing new in the demands made upon American Anode latices and mixes, or the manner in which they are employed. Meteorological balloons, catheters, highaltitude oxygen masks with ducts and metal inserts have also been made in one piece—have also performed with complete satisfaction and long life. Development is the most important of the jobs of American Anode, and many's the task once thought impossible that the Anode process has solved very well. Latices and compounded mixes of GEON, HYCAR, neoprene, crude and GR-S are available. For more information about these modern materials—and proper methods of using them—please write Dept. AA-4, American Anode, Inc., 60 Cherry St., Akron, O.
