Abstract:
A process for producing high active alkyl sulphate solutions comprising the steps of adding and mixing an alkyl sulfuric acid having a chain length of C12-C18, with an organic amine to produce a neutralized product having substantially no water.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the manufacture of a liquid detergent composition comprising a sulphiting agent and an enzyme system. Said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent interact together so as to generate odors which result in an odor deviation in said detergent composition. In the process of the invention, said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent are intimately mixed together separately from the remainder of the detergent composition so as to generate said odors outside the remainder of said detergent composition. Also disclosed is an enzyme premix consisting essentially of said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent.
Abstract:
A liquid premix for use in a detergent composition which comprises at least 40 % by weight of polyhydroxy fatty acid amide of formula (I), where R is C5-C31 hydrocarbyl, preferably straight-chain C7-C19 alkyl or alkenyl, R1 is C1-C4 hydrocarbyl and Z is polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl having a linear hydrocarbyl chain with at least 2 hydroxyls directly connected to the chain, and an effective amount of borate derived from any suitable borate functional material which prevents crystallisation and/or precipitation of said liquid premix when stored for at least 2 weeks at 20 DEG C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the method and use of reef coral fluorescent proteins in making transgenic red, green and yellow fluorescent zebrafish. Preferably, such fluorescent zebrafish are fertile and used to establish a population of transgenic zebrafish and to provide to the ornamental fish industry for the purpose of marketing. Thus, new varieties of ornamental fish of different fluorescence colors from a novel source are developed.
Abstract:
A method of forming a microneedle device comprises the steps of coating the front and back surfaces of a substrate with a protective masking material, patterning the protective masking material to form a protective mask on the front surface of the substrate and an opening in the protective masking material on the back surface of the substrate, and simultaneously wet-etching both front and back surfaces of the substrate to provide a generally conical microneedle on the front surface of the substrate and a generally conical pit on the back surface of the substrate. The dimensions and location of the protective mask and opening are chosen so that the pyramidal pit extends from the back surface to intersect the front surface of the substrate, generally on, or adjacent to, a surface of the conical microneedle. Thus, a through-hole is formed in the substrate providing fluid communication from a rear of the substrate to a location on the front surface of the substrate, either on the microneedle surface or adjacent to a base of the microneedle.

Among the compounds are those of formulae (I) and (II), in which R1 is preferably 2-methyl propene, 2-butene, cyclohexyl or cyclohexylmethyl; R2, R4, and R8 are each independently methyl or ethyl; R3 is preferably iso-butyl or phenyl; R5 is preferably iso-butyl; R6 is H or methyl; R7 - (Q)n is preferably benzyloxycarbonyl or acetyl; Q is preferably -C(O)-; RB is preferably iso-butyl; RA = -(T)m-(D)m-R1, in which T is preferably oxygen or carbon, and D is preferably a mono-unsaturated C3-4 alkenyl; and X is preferably a alpha -ketoester or alpha -ketoamide or aldehyde.
Abstract:
A composite package comprising an inner plastic container (10) and an outer sleeve (20), wherein the outer sleeve has an aperture (21) cut into it in the region of one of its edges. The inner plastic container has an integral plastic handle (11) formed along part of one of its edges. When the package is assembled, the aperture in the outer sleeve corresponds with the plastic handle of the inner container, thereby allowing the composite package to be picked up and handled by means of the plastic handle.
