摘要:
A hollow pipette member open at its opposite ends contains a plug of porous, hydrophobic material force fitted between its ends to define a liquid sample chamber between the plug and one end of the tube. At least a major portion of the pores of the plug material are impregnated with particles of a liquid scavenging material which are of smaller size than the pores so as to allow gas to be drawn through the plug. The liquid sample chamber is of predetermined volume greater than the volume of liquid drawn by a suitable suction device attached to the opposite end of the tube, so that an air gap will remain between the drawn sample and the plug. Any liquid droplets vaporized and drawn into the plug member will contact the hydrophilic particles, which will expand to block passage through those pores while still permitting gas flow through other pores. If the liquid sample itself contacts the plug, enough particles will expand to completely block gas or liquid flow through the plug.

A porous polymeric medium having a low affinity for amide group-containing materials is provided comprising a porous polymeric substrate and a surface-modifying polymeric material having a low affinity for amide group-containing materials formed in situ at and covalently bonded to the surface of the porous polymeric substrate, the surface-modifying polymeric material being formed from a monofunctional monomer having at least one hydroxyl group.

A glass fiber filter mat possessing excellent wet strength which is in the form of a non-woven matrix of glass micro-fibers including polymer micro-bits derived, for example, from a non-brittle expanded, thermoplastic styrene polymer or a flexible foamed polyurethane, the micro-bits being substantially free of intact cells. Also included in the filter mat is a cobeat or intimate blend of cellulose fibers and the polymer micro-bits, which may additionally contain polyester fibers, as well as a combination of binders, viz., polyvinyl alcohol and a melamineformaldehyde resin.
摘要:
A method of receiving retrieved blood from the surgical field of a patient and treating the blood so that it is in condition for direct or indirect return to the patient. The method treats a relatively large volume of blood, which when received in a housing adapted to receive such blood volumes, removes air bubbles and other foreign matter. The received blood flows smoothly both to and from a fibrous membrane interposed in the path of blood flow thereby avoiding bubbling and damage of the blood. Significantly, means within the housing are provided to inhibit clotting of the blood within the housing.

1,063,244. Porous coated sheet material; fluid filtering medium. LLOYD & HILLMAN Ltd. Aug. 6, 1963 [Aug. 6, 1962], No. 30990/63. Headings B1D, BIT and B2E. A medium capable of removing ultrafine particles from fluids comprises a porous base e.g. of paper, and a micro-porous layer adherent thereto. This layer comprises fibres of which a significant proportion extend outwards from the base at an angle of at least 30 degrees and has a maximum pore diameter of 10 microns and a voids volume of at least 75%. It may be made by applying to the base a dispersion comprising a dispersing fluid and particulate fibrous material and controlling the type, size and number of fibres and the state of their dispersion to obtain the required properties when the fibrous material is deposited on the base. Successive layers may be applied in this way. The first applied layer may be a binding layer containing a binder, or the or each main coating layer may contain a binder, e.g. an epoxy resin phenol-, urea-, melamineformaldehyde resins, polyester resins, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyoxymethylene, polyisobutylene, polyamides, cellulose acetate, ethylcellulose, vinyl chloride copolymerised with vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl butyral, p.t.F.e., polytrifluorochloroethylene, ligrin-sulphonate resins, starch, casein, terpene resins, polyacrylic resins, alkyd resins, synthetic rubbers such as butadiene-styrene copolymers. The fibrous material may be potassium titanate, asbestos or glass. The dispersion may also include a non-fibrous particulate material, e.g. silica.

Disclosed herein are methods for removing at least one viral contaminant from a concentrated composition, comprising filtering the concentrated composition through a virus prefilter and a virus filter over one or more filtration cycles, wherein a ratio of the virus prefilter area to the virus filter area in each filtration cycle is at least about 2:1, as well as viral filtration skids for use in such methods.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for preparing a functionalised polymeric chromatography medium, which process comprises (I) providing two or more non-woven sheets stacked one on top of the other, each said sheet comprising one or more polymer nanofibres, (II) simultaneously heating and pressing the stack of sheets to fuse points of contact between the nanofibres of adjacent sheets, and (III) contacting the pressed and heated product with a reagent which functionalises the product of step (II) as a chromatography medium.
