Compounds and methods for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of

Methods for the daignosis, of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

An apparatus and method is provided for spin coating films on a surface. The apparatus includes a chamber capable of being closed to the atmosphere, a spinnable member within the chamber capable of supporting the surface and a pump capable of reducing the pressure within the chamber. The method includes depositing a liquid on the surface, reducing the pressure in the vicinity of the surface and spinning the surface.

Method for low pressure spin coating and low pressure spin coating

A gaseous mixture is introduced through a radial inlet into a plenum-like antichamber above a porous diaphragm mounted across the top of a reactor vessel of substantially uniform width. The antichamber and diaphragm are substantially coextensive with the width of the vessel. The diaphragm may form part of a removable cover/diaphragm unit received in a collar-like ring. The substrate holder includes a molybdenum cap and base which fits over a pedestal of refractory material carrying a temperature sensor with an electrical lead extending down the hollow core of a rotatable reactor
