摘要:
A structural improvement for microwave-assisted high temperature highpressure chemistry vessel systems is disclosed that among other advantages offers dynamic venting and resealing while a reaction proceeds and eliminates the risk of cross contamination associated with systems that use a common pressurized chamber. The improvement includes a relatively thin-walled disposable liner cylinder that includes one closed end and one open end defining a mouth, and a liner cap positioned in the mouth of the rigid liner cylinder for closing the rigid liner cylinder. The liner cap includes a depending column that engages the inside diameter of the rigid liner cylinder, and a disk at one end of the depending column having a diameter sufficient to rest upon the rigid liner cylinder without falling into the rigid cylinder liner so that the cylindrical liner cap can rest in the rigid liner cylinder at the mouth of the rigid liner cylinder. The depending column, includes a passage to provide a gas venting space, and a dynamic venting action, between the liner cap and the rigid liner cylinder.

A direct rapid automated protein analyzer is disclosed. The protein analyzer includes means for reducing protein samples to small particles, a reaction vessel in material transfer communication with the homogenizer, a reservoir for binding dye composition in fluid communication with the reaction vessel, a metering pump in fluid communication with the reservoir and the reaction vessel for distributing discrete predetermined amounts of a binding dye composition to the reaction vessel, a filter in fluid communication with the reaction vessel for separating solids from filtrate after a dye binding reaction has taken place in the reaction vessel, and a colorimeter in fluid communication with the filter and the reaction vessel for measuring the absorbance of the filtrate from the reaction vessel and the filter. The rapid analyzer can be used in conjunction with a kit that includes a sample cup for mixing a protein sample with a dye-binding solution and a filter holder for being positioned in the sample cup. The filter holder includes a filter media and a depending spout below the filter media that reaches bottom portions of the cup when the filter media is positioned above the cup. The kit can also include dye concentrate solution.

An instrument and process for accelerating the solid phase synthesis of peptides is disclosed. The method includes the steps of deprotecting a protected first amino acid (10) linked to a solid phase resin (14) by admixing the protected linked acid (10) with a deprotecting solution in a microwave transparent vessel while irradiating the admixed acid and solution with microwaves, then activating a second amino acid (20) by adding the second acid (20) and an activating solution (22) to the same vessel while irradiating the vessel with microwaves, then coupling the second amino acid (20) to the first acid (10) while irradiating the composition in the same vessel with microwaves, and cleaving the linked peptide from the solid phase resin (14) by admixing the linked peptide with a cleaving composition in the same vessel while irradiating the composition with microwaves.

A pressure-measuring vessel system for microwave assisted chemical processes is disclosed. The vessel system includes a pressure resistant vessel that is otherwise transparent to microwave radiation, a pressure-resistant closure for the mouth of the vessel, with portions of the closure including a pressure resistant synthetic membrane, a pressure transducer external to the vessel, and a tube extending from the transducer, through the membrane and into the vessel for permitting the pressure inside the vessel to be applied against the transducer while the closure and membrane otherwise maintain the pressure resistant characteristics of the vessel.

摘要:
Apparatus for determining the fat and oil content of a sample comprises a pliable, porous, hydrophilic and lipophillic sample pad (63), formed of glass fibres or quartz fibres and substantially transparent to microwave radiation. The sample is placed on the sample pad which in turn is placed on a wrapper (62) of sheet material that is non-porous to fats, oils and other liquids and is free of atoms that would interfere with or mask the NMR response in said analyser of the protons in fats and oils, said wrapper being large enough to wrap said sample pad with a sample thereon but small enough to fit within the sample field portion of an NMR analyser (36) when wrapped around the sample pad. The apparatus further includes a source (20) of microwave radiation for drying the sample, a cavity (24) in wave communication with said microwave source for receiving the sample and sample pad and a balance (28) with at least its pan inside cavity for weighing the sample and sample pad.
