Metamaterials at terahertz frequencies offer unique opportunities, but are challenging to fabricate in bulk. We adapt the fabrication procedure for microstructured polymer optical fibers to inexpensively fabricate metamaterials potentially on an industrial scale. We produce polymethylmethacrylate fibers containing ~10 μm diameter indium wires separated by ~100 μm, which exhibit a terahertz plasmonic response.

Source: Robert M. Rioux, Ajay Sathe & Zhifeng Chen, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Vacuum is required for a number of laboratory procedures. This is most routinely achieved in the laboratory by the use of vacuum pumps. In addition to working at low pressures, vacuum pumps can also be used to enable rapid changing of the atmospheres in a reactor or flask by evacuation and backfilling.
FAQs
Flow depends on the pressure difference between the evacuated tube and the vein. As blood enters, the tube’s negative pressure is progressively reduced, so the driving force changes during collection and diminishes toward completion. This behavior helps make the process controlled and efficient, rather than dependent on repeated manual aspiration.
Tube choice connects the collection conditions to the intended analysis. Standardized tubes provide a defined environment, while their additives preserve the specimen for its particular laboratory purpose. Selecting the wrong tube, or using an unsuitable fill volume, can weaken that match and may leave the sample less appropriate for hematology, chemistry, or coagulation testing.
These controls protect the relationship between the specimen, the tube, and its additive. Following the intended order of draw helps reduce contamination between tubes, while reaching the specified fill volume supports sample quality. Together, they help ensure that collected blood remains suitable for the analysis assigned to that tube and its preservation system.
Begin by choosing the standardized tube appropriate for the intended analysis and confirming the required fill volume. After the needle enters the vein, allow collection through the collection set, follow the intended order of draw, and handle each tube gently. These steps work together to reduce contamination, hemolysis, and inaccurate results.
It supports routine laboratory testing in several major areas, including hematology, chemistry, and coagulation studies. The approach can serve these different analyses because standardized tubes and additives preserve specimens for their intended purposes. Matching the tube, fill volume, and collection sequence to the analysis helps maintain the sample quality needed for reliable laboratory results.
An incorrect tube may fail to provide the preservation conditions required for the planned analysis, while an inappropriate fill volume can reduce sample quality. Poor handling can also contribute to hemolysis, and an incorrect order of draw can increase contamination. The resulting specimen may therefore produce inaccurate or less dependable laboratory findings.
The negative-pressure system offers a controlled and efficient alternative to manual aspiration. Once venous access is established, the evacuated tube supplies the pressure difference that drives collection through the set, reducing reliance on repeated manual withdrawal. In routine medicine, that controlled collection supports standardized handling across hematology, chemistry, and coagulation workflows.
