Abstract:
A method comprises: sorbing a sample solution comprising nucleic acids to a sample receiving portion of a quartz fiber filter by contacting the sample solution with the sample receiving portion; and washing the sample receiving portion while keeping most of nucleic acids around the sample receiving portion by flowing a wash solution through the sample receiving portion under a wicking force directed away from the sample receiving portion. An associated apparatus is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for sterilizing a membrane comprising an oxidoreductase enzyme in an environment having a relative humidity, comprises: irradiating the membrane comprising an oxidoreductase enzyme with gamma radiation under vacuum at a relative humidity lower than the relative humidity of the environment. Associated biosensors are also described.

Abstract:
A method includes spraying a liquid including polymer and a gas substantially inert to the liquid respectively from a first and second orifice of a nozzle into air to form mist of beads. The beads then are collected with a collecting medium at a temperature in a range from about −10° C. to about 80° C. The collecting medium includes at least one of water and alcohols.

Abstract:
A method for forming polymer microparticles is disclosed. The method comprises spraying a liquid comprising a thermally-gelling polymer from a first orifice of a nozzle into air to form gelled microparticles, and collecting the gelled microparticles with a collecting device. The nozzle is positioned to have a central axis of the first orifice at a tilt angle in a range from about 10 degrees to about 170 degrees relative to a direction of gravity. The collecting device comprises at least two collecting units at different distances from the first orifice of the nozzle in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Each of the collecting unit is loaded with a liquid collecting medium. A system for forming polymer microparticles is also disclosed.
