  • Methods and ceramic nanoparticle compositions for heavy metal removal and for oral delivery of desirable agents
    Patent number: 8883216
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for heavy metal remediation are disclosed. The compositions contain ceramic nanoparticulate cation exchangers specific for at least one heavy metal as well as at least one carrier, typically a thickener, a gel forming agent and/or a cross-binding agent. The compositions may also contain chelating agents as well as beneficial agents such as vitamins and pharmaceuticals, with or without the ceramic nanoparticulate cation exchangers.

  • Method for isolating MB creatine kinase
    Patent number: 4200691
    Abstract: Creatine kinase MB isoenzyme can be separated from a mixture of creatine kinase isoenzymes by ion exchange chromatography. Use of a mixture of cation and anion exchange resin in this method permits elution of the MB isoenzyme from the mixed resin while the other isoenzymes are wholely or partially retained. In a preferred embodiment the mixed resin is a mixture of a weakly basic anion exchange resin and a weakly acidic cation exchange resin.
