Inventor: SHARMA KESHAV D
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A hand-held automatic refractometer comprises a linear scanned array having a plurality of photoelectric cells and an optical system for directing light onto the array, the particular photoelectric cells of the array which are illuminated by said light being determined by the index of refraction of a sample substance placed on a sample surface of a prism of the optical system. A reflective surface is arranged close to the array at an acute angle thereto for directing primary light from the sample-prism boundary to the array, and for redirecting stray reflected light from the array back onto the array. The disclosed refractometer has a compact design wherein the linear array extends in a direction substantially parallel to the prism sample surface. The prism is mounted in a housing and the sample surface faces upward to allow access through a sample well of the housing, while the array is mounted in the housing facing in a downward direction.

IPC: C12N1/04
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: A method of preparing biological materials for cryopreservation is presented. The method lessens the amount of heat released by a cryoprotectant during a latent heat phase by freezing the protectant, thawing the protectant, and treating biologically active materials with the thawed protectant. First, the protectant is frozen to induce an irreversible phase change, along with an irreversible release of energy. After this phase change has occurred, the protectant is thawed and used to treat viable cells or other biologically active material about to undergo freezing. The thawed protectant within the biologically active cells has a reduced endothermic reaction upon subsequent freezing. In one embodiment, freezing the biological material includes immersing the biological material in cooling fluid and circulating the cooling fluid past the biological material at a substantially constant, pre-determined velocity and temperature such that the biological material is vitrified, thus minimizing the formation of stress fractures in cell membranes. The protectant may be propylene glycol, glycerol, DMSO, or other suitable protectants.

torque are calculated. Further, a third differential limiting
torque is calculated based on the dial position and a throttle
opening angle. A final differential limiting torque between front
