Title: Device for collecting, testing and storing fluids
Inventor: TUNG KER-KONG
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: A device for collecting, testing and storing body fluids includes a container and a removable cap. Fluids are collected in the container. The cap includes a holder for drug test strips and an adulteration strip When tilted, fluid from the container enters the cap through a hole Plugs may be employed to block the opening, preventing fluid communication between the container and the cap after fluid has entered the cap. The remaining uncontaminated and untested body fluid is stored in the container and thus made available for further confirmation testing. Associated methods for collecting, testing and storing fluids with a single device are also provided. A method of manufacturing the foregoing test device is also provided.

Title: Clarifying tank
Inventor: BROWNE NEALE
IPC: B01D21/24
Filed: 2003-10-08
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for separating solid particles from a fluid. One preferred embodiment includes a tank for settling particles out of the fluid, a conical chamber at the bottom of the tank, an outlet connected to conical chamber, and a conical auger within the conical chamber. The tank may have a tangential inlet that creates a fluid circulation that exerts a centrifugal force on the solid particles to increase the settling of particles out of the fluid. The tank may have a static spiral on the inner wall that helps small particles coalesce into larger particles that settle faster out of the fluid. The fluid content of the solids removed from the tank may be controlled by varying the rotational speed of the conical auger. The rotational speed of the conical auger may be varied depending on the torque required to rotate the conical auger.

Title: Method and system for in vitro protein folding
Inventor: ST JOHN RICHARD
IPC: C07K14/435
Filed: 2006-07-28
Abstract: A method of recovering a refolded protein involves static mixing a concentrated solution of a denatured protein with a refolding diluent to obtain the refolded protein. The method is particularly suitable for microbially produced recombinant proteins in large processing volumes. The denatured protein solution can be obtained by isolating protein from the microbial host and exposing them to a denaturant. This solution is mixed with a suitable refolding diluent under static mixing conditions compatible with proper folding of the protein so that the refolded protein is obtained, preferably rapidly and with high yield. A system for implementing the refolded protein recovery method includes a static mixer, a conduit inline with and upstream from the static mixer, and an inlet to the conduit upstream of the static mixer, and optionally a dynamic, preferably non-turbulent, mixing vessel downstream from the static mixer. The invention finds particular use in large scale production of proteins, particularly recombinant proteins.
