“…Classical T-piece segmentors made of glass (7,8), fluoroplastics (9, 10), and combinations of hydrophilic and lipophilic materials, improved glass A8-T and A10-T fittings (7,11,12), and fluoroplastics T-pieces with Teflon tubing inserts (6,9,13) or enlarged outflow channel inner diameter (14,15) are the most widely used. Different configurations of Y (16,17) or W pieces (18-21) made of glass or fluoroplastics and four-way fittings (22) have also been recommended. Lately, a falling drop segmentor was applied (23) to overcome some of the disadvantages of other types.…”
