  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING PARAFFIN EMBEDDED SAMPLES
    Publication number: 20150284709
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing paraffin embedded samples, e.g., to disassociate paraffin from tissue components and/or other biomolecules from the paraffin. The sample may be exposed to focused acoustic energy while held in a vessel containing a non-solvent, aqueous solution. Disassociated paraffin may be emulsified into the liquid or otherwise separated from the sample.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 11, 2015
    Publication date: October 8, 2015
    Applicant: Covaris, Inc.
    Inventors: James A. Laugharn, JR., Edwin Rudd, Guillaume Durin

  • Methods and apparatus for treating samples with acoustic energy to form particles and particulates
    Patent number: 8702836
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming solid particles from a sample, which includes the step of exposing the sample to a focused acoustic field having an acoustic wave variable, until the solid particles achieve a desired state of particularization. The acoustic wave variable may be selected based, at least in part, on the desired state of particularization. The sample may be exposed to the focused acoustic field through a medium.

  • Solid care therapeutic compositions and methods for making same
    Patent number: 5389377
    Abstract: A liposome composition which comprises a substantially uniform sized inorganic core coated with an amphipathic organic compound and further coated with a second amphipathic vesicle forming lipid. Also disclosed are novel phenyl lipid compounds which serve as the amphipathic vesicle forming lipid and methods are described for delivering a drug for slow release into the blood stream, and for targeting a selected tissue or cells with the inorganic core liposome compositions.
