spankeren m.b.v. bioindicatoren

Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) Jul 29, 2021:

Why don't you just go right ahead and enter the placename?

Here's EliTech in Spankeren in Gelderland:

(En nee, de stoomsterilisator heeft geen eigen adres).

Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 24, 2021:

Great refs, Michael. Unfortunately, no sterilizers popped up in your investigations.

I got a hankering for some spankering. :-)

Michael Beijer Jul 23, 2021:

@Yevgeni: can we have some more context?

Michael Beijer Jul 23, 2021:

also agree with Barend capitalisation is weird, and makes it even harder to parse

Michael Beijer Jul 23, 2021:

town in NL that manufactures the device? hmm, this is the address of a company called "ELITechGroup B.V.", which makes a thing called a "Monosed ESR Non-Vacuum Tube":
Van Rensselaerweg 4
6956 AV Spankeren
The Netherlands

also found:
"5.7. Serum Biochemical Analysis
Twenty-four birds per treatment group per sampling day were bled via the jugular vein. The blood collected in 10 mL tubes and centrifuged for 3 min at 3000 rpm in order to obtain the serum. Serum albumin, total protein, cholesterol, glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) were measured with an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Vitalab® flexor, Vital Scientific NV, Spankeren/Dieren, The Netherlands) in the Diagnostic Laboratory of the School of Veterinary Medicine, AUTh."

Could this be the somehow corrupted name of the sterilizer: PWA05 Spankeren

Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 23, 2021:

But normal spelling / phrasing would be:

Resultaten van de aanvankelijke (?) microbiologische validatie van de stoomsterilisator m.b.v. bio-indicatoren

'startvalidatie' is no standard Dutch

Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 23, 2021:

If you left out 'PWA05 Spankeren' the thing is going to make sense:

Resultaten Microbiologische Startvalidatie Stoom Sterilisator m.b.v. Bio-Indicatoren

I hope that was a joke :-)

I think it's likely to be either the placename (does the organisation have a site there?) or a typo.

Yevgeni Gerasimenko (asker) Jul 23, 2021:

spank is there a possibility that the state-of-the-art sterilization is based upon spanking micro-organisms contrary to heating them up to death?

James Duncan Jul 23, 2021:

It doesn't seem to go with your context but Spankeren is a location in the Netherlands and an occasional surname.
