Patent CA-2471726-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRABTREE EMANUEL PAUL
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: A multilayer test strip [20] that measures concentrations of multiple analytes from a single whole blood sample [58]. The test strip [201 includes a test matrix [36] of several layers held together in constant contact by a test strip holder [22]. The invention is characterized in that it has no moving parts, which is made possible by the novel use of an elongate disbursement layer [38] that spreads blood throughout its entire length, despite having layers [40, 110] with known wicking properties adjacent to and in contact with it [38]. Since the invention relies primarily on a vertical flow format, the test strip [20] is advantageously quite compact. With a single 35 microliter sample [58] of blood applied thereto, the novel test strip [20] can provide readings of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. From these, LDL can be calculated, thereby providing a full "lipid panel." Other analytes such as glucose and ketoses may be included in the test strip [20] in addition to or in lieu of one or more of the other analytes.

Title: Rotary fluid agitator
Inventor: YUNGBLUT JOHN DAVID
IPC: B01F5/02
Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A rotary fluid agitator is provided. The rotary fluid agitator essentially comprises a fluid conduit that is positioned vertically within a storage tank holding a quantity of fluid, suck as a drilling fluid. At least one nozzle is attached to the fluid conduit for jetting a stream of fluid into to the fluid contained within the tank. A drive means is connected to the fluid conduit and rotates the conduit to sweep the nozzle through a 360-degree arcuate path at a predetermined rotational frequency. A fluid pump is attached in fluid communication with the interior volume of the tank and pumps a quantity of drilling fluid through a fluid circulation line and through the fluid conduit to be jetted out of the nozzle. As the nozzle is swept through the arcuate path a conically shaped fluid flow path is created in the fluid contained within the tank causing the jetted fluid to tangentially act upon the fluid thereby keeping all solid particulates mixed with the fluid in suspension.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of purifying recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) from a solution, which method comprises to subject a cell culture supernatant (CCS) comprising rHSA cation exchange on a bimodal high salt tolerant matrix; hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC); and anion exchange. The bimodal high salt tolerant cation exchange matrix used enables per-forming a purification of a cell culture supernatant directly, in the sense that no further dilution thereof is necessary. Due to its high binding capacity, said bimodal cation exchange matrix also allows use of a smaller amount of matrix as compared to a corresponding conventional cation exchanger matrix. Accordingly, the present invention allows substantial savings as regards volumes and consequently operation costs.

IPC: B65G19/24
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: An improved slider block is a length of flanged channel having a cut-out in the lower web of the channel to accommodate mounting a flat bar journalled in the cut-out. The flanged channel is resilient. The flanged channel has a length sufficient to cover the length of a base plate on which the flat bar is orthogonally mounted. The sides of the channel define a cavity having a depth corresponding to the thickness of the base plate. A pair of flanges extend inwardly over the cavity from the sides of the channel so as to define a chain-receiving slot therebetween. The base plate mounts within the cavity. The base plate is welded to a chain so that when the base plate is mounted in the cavity the chain is mounted in and along the chain-receiving slot.
