A pass box configured to accommodate and decontaminate an article by concentrating a mist of decontamination agent on an article's surface and to reduce a duration of aeration operations. The box includes a decontamination chamber, an aeration chamber in which residue of the decontamination agent is removed from the article's surface, a decontamination agent supply device, a decontamination agent control device, a moving device configured to reposition the article, and an air supply and exhaust device. The decontamination agent supply device converts a chemical into the mist and supplies it into the decontamination chamber. The decontamination agent control device includes vibration boards that are adjacent to internal wall surfaces of the decontamination chamber and that are ultrasonically vibrated to generate sound flows in the vertical direction thereby pressing the mist with acoustic radiation to concentrate the mist on the external surfaces of the article.

A poultry carcass spraying cabinet having an inclined or declined section located between the entrance and exit, the inclined or declined section having a slope or angle such that the wing-area of adjacently shackled poultry carcasses being conveyed is spaced to increase spray performance of the carcass spraying cabinet, allow foreign material proximate the wing-area of the poultry carcasses to be dislodged, and thereby minimize cross-contamination during poultry processing. The spray nozzles of adjacent arbor members of the inclined or declined section being located in different horizontal planes to provide optimal spraying performance proximate the wing-area of the poultry carcass.

A method of applying a blocking composition (116) on a substrate for an assay (20) comprises: providing a substrate for an assay (20), wherein the substrate for an assay comprises a solid substrate provided with a plurality of discrete spots of a biological material on a surface thereof; and spraying the blocking composition (116) onto the substrate (20) as particles or droplets having a diameter being less than the diameter of the printed spots of biological material.

An ozone disinfecting system includes a water holding tank configured to hold water for use by the ozone disinfecting system. An ozone generator machine is configured to convert the water into an ozone cleaner agent. An ozone holding tank is configured to hold the ozone cleaner agent created by the ozone generator machine. A drain is configured to drain fluid from the ozone holding tank to the water holding tank. A pump is configured to cycle the fluid from the water holding tank to the ozone generator machine and into the ozone holding tank. A controller is configured to control the pump, the ozone generator machine, and the drain. Wherein, the controller controls the pump, the ozone generator machine and the drain to create the ozone cleaner agent from the water and cycle it between the water holding tank and the ozone holding tank at a specified cycle time.
