  • Patent number: 11051985
    Abstract: [Problem] The present invention provides a preparation jig for a tympanic membrane regenerating agent and a preparation vessel for a tympanic membrane regenerating agent enabling simple preparation of a tympanic membrane regenerating agent. [Solution] A preparation jig for a tympanic membrane regenerating agent (1a) and a preparation vessel for a tympanic membrane regenerating agent (1A) each include: a vessel (3A) including housing walls (6, 7) forming an interior space (S1) housing a medicinal solution support (2), and including an opening (6h) opening in one direction and formed in the housing walls (6, 7); and a holding portion (4A) disposed in the interior space (S1). The deep side of the interior space (S1) is a housing portion (S3) housing the medicinal solution support (2) holding a medicinal solution. The opening (6h) side of the interior space (S1) is an installation space (S2) in which the holding portion (4A) is disposed.

  • Patent number: 8492597
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the production of propylene glycol from glycerol, the transformation of purified glycerol to propylene glycol being carried out by means of a reaction of hydrogenolysis, in the liquid phase, where the two stages of the reaction take place simultaneously and in one and the same reactor (1) under specified conditions of temperature and pressure, and the effluent from the fixed-bed reactor (1) is led to subsequent process stages that comprise separation and purification.
