In Medicine and Technology in Canada, 1900-1950, Kirk Montgomery/McKellar point to the expansion of medical research din public institutions, the strength of academic research and long list of accomplisments. In Ontario, at the University of Toronto(Banting, Best, Macleod, Collip) and in Quebec, at McGill University(Osler) and the Montreal Neurological Institution (Penfield)¹.In Technological Innovations in Canadian Medicine, the same authors note"The first Canadian entry into the biotechnology market came about...of a Canadian innovation. Kelvin Ogilvie, Professor of Chemistry of McGill,... was the inventor in the early 1980 of the automated "gene machine" capable ... of manufacturing short sequences of DNA². This advance, developed in Ogilvie's research labs at McGill University, was an essential part in bringing the "tech" into biotechnology.

Function

It is a manual injection system that filters samples as it's injected into a fixed smaple loop, because there are no transfer steps during filatration you eliminate the chance of mixing up samples.

Technical

Models 5301 and 5302 are three-way slide valves. The center port is connected to one of the two side ports depending on the slider position. A handle moves the slider with a snap-action. The valves can be mounted so the only the toggle handle protrudes from the mounting panel.
