Abstract: A packaged iron sucrose formulation including a container with an interior glass surface that is coated with layer of material containing silicon, such as a silicone polymer or silicon dioxide. The iron sucrose formulation is packaged inside the glass vessel and in contact with the layer of material containing silicon. The packaged formulation can be stored for extended periods without glass delamination.

Abstract: Fluorescent enzyme substrates are provided. The substrates are derivatives of coumarin having an enzyme cleavable group at position 7 and a hydrophilic amide group at position 4. The compounds are highly water soluble, stable at ambient and reduced temperatures and fluoresce upon cleavage by an enzyme.

Abstract: Fluorescent conjugates suitable for use in flow cytometry and other biological applications. The fluorescent conjugates comprise an antibody having a polymeric dye bound thereto. The polymeric dye is preferably enhanced by a hydrophobic and conformationally restrictive moiety either bound thereto or in close association therewith. The hydrophobic and conformationally restrictive moiety is preferably derived from a cyclodextrin. The polymeric dye comprises a polymeric entity having signal-generating groups, such as aminostyryl pyridinium dye residues attached thereto. The fluorescent conjugates exhibit exceptional stability characteristics and avoid many of the problems of energy transfer, bio-conjugability, and solubility.
