Title: Novel cryopreservation bags and method of use thereof for closed system, high capacity cell-banking
Inventor: Herve Francois Coupier
IPC: C12M1/00
Filed: 2015-08-14
Granted: 2018-04-12
Abstract: The disclosure provides a cell freezing and storage bag assembly and a method for using the assembly in banking eukaryotic cells for later seed train expansion. The bag (1) is constructed principally of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) fabric. The bag design includes at least an inlet conduit (2) and an outlet or inoculation conduit (3), which can be sterilely welded to the source of the cells, allowing for "closed system" filling of the bags, which significantly reduces the risk of contamination. The bag also includes a sleeve (8), which can be thermosealed ("S") to form an enclosure, which protects the inlet and outlet conduits against contamination and mechanical damage during freezing, storage and subsequent thawing. In the method, once each bag is filled, its corresponding inlet conduit is sealed ("AS"), and both the inlet and outlet conduits are enclosed within the sleeve. This closed system method obviates the need for sterile environments.

Title: Optimizing polycarboxylate admixtures for cementitious compositions
Inventor: KUO LAWRENCE L
IPC: C04B24/26
Filed: 2016-06-13
Granted: 2020-11-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and method for modifying a hydratable cementitious composition such as concrete or mortar using at least three different, distinct carboxylate polymers, even when clay is present in the concrete or mortar that would otherwise diminish dosage efficiency of polycarboxylate polymer used as dispersant. The three polycarboxylate polymers, designated as Polymer I, Polymer II, and Polymer II, are derived from monomer Components A, B, and C wherein Component A is an unsaturated carboxylic acid, Component B is a polyoxyalkylene, and Component C is an unsaturated carboxylate ester. The component molar ratio ranges for A:B:C are different as between Polymers I and II; while a distinct component molar ratio A:B+C is identified for Polymer III. When treated with these three different polycarboxylate polymers, the hydratable cementitious composition is surprisingly enhanced in terms of initial workability and slump retention, especially if clay is present.
