Individual primary recombinant clones (hosted in phage, cosmid, YAC, or other vector) that are placed in two-dimensional arrays in microtiter dishes. Each primary clone can be identified by the identity of the plate and the clone location (row and column) on that plate. Arrayed libraries of clones can be used for many applications, including screening for a specific gene or genomic region of interest.

A measure of the ability of an air filter to remove synthetic dust from the air when tested as described in ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2008, Method of Testing General Ventilation Air Cleaning Devices for Removal Efficiency by Particle Size. Arrestance test results typically relate to larger size particles.

Method to predict that materials age in a predictable manner relative to humidity. Testing at elevated temperature is used to predict room temperature material deterioration.
