    摘要: Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods for producing emulsions, and, in particular, for maintaining laminar flow during production of emulsions containing microsuspensions. Disclosed herein are columns for receiving a packing material that permits fluid flow through the column. The columns have a periphery that defines an interior cavity in fluid communication with inlets and outlets of the column. Disclosed herein is a method of preparing an emulsion that includes (1) forming a first phase typically containing an organic solvent, a polymer, and one or more biologically active agents and/or chemicals; (2) forming a second phase typically containing water as the second solvent, an emulsion stabilizer and optionally a solvent; and (3) passing the first and the second phases through the column to form a “water in oil” type emulsion.

    摘要: The invention relates to compositions for the cryogenic storage of biological materials and related methods. In an embodiment, the invention includes a cryopreservative composition including a chaotropic agent and a kosmotropic agent. In an embodiment, the invention includes a cryopreservative composition including urea and trimethylamine-N-oxide. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of cryopreserving cells including contacting cells with a cryopreservative composition, the cryopreservative composition comprising a chaotropic agent and a kosmotropic agent. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of transplanting cells into a subject, the method including administering a composition to the subject, the composition comprising an effective amount of a chaotropic agent, an effective amount of a kosmotropic agent, and cells. Other embodiments are also included herein.
