Abstract: The invention relates to carbonate-linked surface modifying macromolecules and admixtures thereof. The admixtures can be used in industrial and medical applications where enhanced surface properties are desirable (e.g., surface properties reducing or preventing biofouling, immobilization of biomolecules, or denaturation of certain biomolecules).
Abstract: A filter holder for liposome extrusion includes a housing having an inlet configured to receive a material to be extruded and an outlet, and a filter support member disposed within the housing between the inlet and the outlet. The filter support member includes an upstream side having a filter support surface configured to support a membrane filter assembly, a downstream side opposite the upstream side, and a plurality of passages extending through the filter support member from the filter support surface to the downstream side. The filter holder also includes an outlet cavity in fluid communication with the outlet, and the filter holder is configured such that the material to be extruded flows through the membrane filter assembly and into the outlet cavity via the plurality of passages before being discharged through the outlet.

Abstract: A device for separating a gas stream which has a compressor and three membrane separation units in series, connected to pass the retentate stream of each of the first two units to the subsequent membrane separation unit, comprises conduits for recycling the permeate streams of the second and the third membrane separation unit to upstream of the compressor and a control device controlling the fraction of the second permeate stream which is recycled. Adjusting which fraction of the second permeate is recycled can be used to maintain a target composition of the retentate obtained in the third membrane separation unit when the flow rate or the composition of the gas stream changes.
Abstract: The invention relates to ester-linked surface-modifying macromolecules and admixtures thereof as shown below by the representative compounds. The admixtures can be used in industrial and medical applications where enhanced surface properties are desirable (e.g., surface properties reducing or preventing biofouling, immobilization of biomolecules, or denaturation of certain biomolecules).
