Title: Method for preparing and using water-based steroid pheromone compositions
Inventor: AVELINO NORMAN
IPC: A61K31/568
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: This invention relates to methods of formulating steroid pheromones as novel stable emulsions. These emulsions can be used for administration of the steroid pheromones to living organisms such as humans or pigs in place of current organic solvent or pressurized aerosol formulations that present hazards in both shipping and application. Uses relating to pigs are in stimulation of sexual maturation, diagnosis of the onset and timing of oestrus in female pigs, and inducing boars to accept dummy sows. The water-based emulsions can include 5 -androst-16-en-3-one and 3 -hydroxy-5a-androst-16-ene for administration to pigs. The use of water-based emulsions eliminates the need for formulation of the steroid pheromones in organic solvents, delivery of these pheromones as pressurized aerosols, and following the precautions required to reduce hazards during shipping and handling. The water-based emulsions allow for treatment of living organisms where a liquid organic solvent formulation or aerosol of the pheromones might be harmful to the organism or a substrate.

Title: Method for preparing sample for analysis of dioxins
Inventor: MIYAWAKI TAKASHI
IPC: B01D11/02
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: An aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent solution obtained by extracting dioxins contained in an analyte, such as soil, with an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent is fed to sample preparation column (30) having alumina layer (33) superimposed on carbon material layer (32) on the side of alumina layer (33).  Upon flowing of the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent solution through the alumina layer (33) and carbon material layer (32) in this order, the dioxins contained in the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent solution are trapped in these layers.  Thereafter, an extraction solvent selected from among toluene, a mixed solvent consisting of toluene and an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent and a hydrophilic solvent capable of dissolving dioxins is fed to the sample preparation column (30) in the direction opposite to passage of the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent solution. Thus, the dioxins having been trapped in the carbon material layer (32) and alumina layer (33) are extracted, thereby obtaining a dioxins analytical sample.
