IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: In patients having carcinomas tumor cells shed into the blood, enumeration and characterization of these cells offers the opportunity to obtain a "real time"  biopsy of the tumor and may improve the management of the disease. The frequency of circulating tumor cells is rare (<1cell/ml) and technology is needed that has sufficient sensitivity and specificity to enumerate and characterize these cells. The present system was developed to provide an immunophenotype, based on fluorescence waveforms as well as images of immunomagnetically-enriched cells. Blood volumes ranging from 7.5-30ml are immunomagnetically enriched for epithelial cells. The sample volume is reduced to 320ul and inserted into an analysis chamber. Upon introduction of the chamber in a magnetic field, the immunomagnetically tagged cells rise out of the sample and align between nickel lines (period 30Ám, space 15Ám) that are present on the viewing surface of the chamber.

Abstract: The invention described as a booster, provides for a means to chill a draught beverage at a point between its storage container and dispensing faucet. The Booster is comprised of an enclosed tank, which contains a heat exchange coil(s). Two cooling liquid lines are attached to the Booster. One of these cooling liquid lines provides for the flow of cooling liquid into the tank while the other cooling liquid line provides for the flow of cooling liquid from the Booster. The cooling liquid enters the Booster and flows through a tube where it is sprayed directly onto the beverage-cooling coil. Two beverage lines are also attached to the Booster. One beverage line brings the beverage into the Booster while the other allows for the beverage to exit from the Booster. The beverage, upon entering the Booster, flows directly into beverage-cooling coil where it is chilled by the cooling liquid. The beverage flows from the beverage-cooling coil to an exit port.
