Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for separating and analyzing ions by electrostatic ion chromatography using water as the eluent not only for the analysis of the group of anions or cations but also for the simultaneous and simple analysis of the two groups of analyte ions. A solid phase packed in a separation column to be used therefor is a zwitterionic stationary phase, comprising a support carrier and a zwitterionic layer formed by directly or indirectly coating or immobilized a compound having both of a positive-charge portion and a negative-charge portion (an ammonium salt or amide portion, and a sulfonate ion portion or carboxylate ion portion) on the surface of the support carrier for detecting given separated ions by ultraviolet method etc. And another present invention relates to a method for separating and analyzing inorganic and organic components etc. simultaneously by multi-functional liquid chromatography.
Abstract:
A composition for removing or inactivating harmful components including virus from blood or other extracellular liquids comprises a crown ether compound substituted on a polysaccharide, preferably dextran. The composition may be soluble in water, preferably for intraveneous application, or insoluble for extracorporeal application.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a filter medium for treating a blood material selected from the group consisting of a leukocyte-containing suspension and plasma, comprising a polymeric, porous element having, in a surface portion thereof, a negative charge and having a surface electric charge of not smaller than -30 .mu.eq/g of the polymeric, porous element. The filter medium and an apparatus having the filter medium packed in a casing having an inlet and an outlet, can be advantageously used for treating a blood material, for example, for separating leukocytes from a leukocyte-containing suspension including whole blood, for blood dialysis or for removing undesired proteinous substances and the like from whole blood or plasma by adsorption-filtration, while effectively controlling a concentration of bradykinin (which is causative of anaphylactic reactions) in a treated blood to a level not exceeding 4,000 pg/ml.

Abstract:
A composite adsorbent comprising an acid salt of an m- or p-aromatic amino acid and an acid. The adsorbent may further contain a transition metal compound. The former removes aldehydes, ammonias and amines simultaneously, and the latter further removes hydrogen sulfide.The composite adsorbent is used in the form of a powder, a solution, or a solid supported on a carrier.
Abstract:
A treated permeable inorganic membrane is disclosed comprising a metal oxide/hydroxide capable of reacting with a phosphoric acid ester. The treated membrane has good chemical stability over a pH range of from 2 to 12. Chemically bonded to the metal oxide/hydroxide surface of the membrane is a monomolecular layer of one or more phosphoric acid esters selected from the class consisting of one or more phosphoric acid monoesters having the formula (RO)PO(OH).sub.2, one or more phosphoric acid diesters having the formula (RO)(R'O)PO(OH), and mixtures of same where R comprises a 1-30 carbon-containing group and R'comprises hydrogen or a 1-30 carbon-containing group. Excess phosphoric acid esters not bonded to the underlying membrane surface is removed to ensure formation of the monomolecular layer of the phosphoric acid esters on the surfaces of the membrane.
Abstract:
An endotoxin binding material affixed to a support is disclosed. One embodiment is a matrix material capable of binding endotoxins and comprising a polar, water-insoluble, high molecular weight polymer support to which is attached groups which adsorb endotoxin molecules. The groups comprise bifunctional aliphatic molecules, one end of which is bound to the support, the other end of which is bound to an aryl molecule. The invention has utility in the removal of endotoxins from biological fluids and other solutions and for concentrating endotoxins so that they may be subsequently detected and quantified.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a separation matrix which comprises a plurality of separation ligands, defined by the formula R1-L1-N(R3)-L2-R, immobilized on a support, wherein R1 is a five- or six-membered, substituted or non-substituted ring structure or a hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl group; L1 is either a methylene group or a covalent bond; R2 is a five- or six-membered, substituted or non-substituted ring structure; L2 is either a methylene group or a covalent bond; R3 is a methyl group; and wherein if R1 is a hydroxyethyl group and L1 is a covalent bond, R2 is a substituted aromatic ring structure or a substituted or non-substituted aliphatic ring structure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an affinity resin functionalized with small molecule inhibitors of glycoside-cleaving enzymes, e.g., α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), glucocerebrosidase (GCB), β-galactosidase, and acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), and a method for purifying glycoside-cleaving enzymes produced in a cell line using the small molecule inhibitor-functionalized affinity resin.
