    Abstract: The present invention relates to a selectively soluble polymer capable of binding to one or more constituents in a mixture containing various biological materials and the methods of using such a polymer to purify a biomolecule from such a mixture. The polymer is soluble in the mixture under a certain set of process conditions such as pH or temperature and is rendered insoluble and precipitates out of solution upon a change in the process conditions. While in its solubilized state, the polymer is capable of binding to a selected entity within the stream such as impurities (DNA, RNA, host cell protein, endotoxins, etc.) in a cell broth and remains capable of binding to that entity even after the polymer is precipitated out of solution. The precipitate can then be filtered out from the remainder of the stream and the desired biomolecule is recovered and further processed.

    Abstract: The device for the microbiological analysis of a support adapted to contain microorganisms marked by a fluorophore agent, said agent being adapted to absorb light energy with an absorption spectrum (53) having a crest (53′) at a predetermined absorption wavelength (λ2) and to release that energy by emitting light with an emission spectrum (54) having a crest (54′) at a predetermined emission wavelength (λ3) distinct from said absorption wavelength (λ2), comprises illuminating means; the spectrum (55) of the excitation light coming from the illuminating means having a crest (55′) at a predetermined excitation wavelength (λ1) with a predetermined difference between the excitation (λ1) and absorption (λ2) wavelengths by virtue of which it is made easy to discriminate the light emitted by said fluorophore agent from that coming from the illuminating means.
