Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production and non-covalent surface display of antibodies and derived fragments as well as molecule libraries based thereon on the surface of S. cerevisiae cells. The non-covalent manner of the surface display renders possible the selection of specific variants by means of high throughput screening and the subsequent switchable secretion of the selected binding molecule into the culture supernatant for biochemical characterisation.

Abstract: A filter insert has a filter element with an end surface at an inlet side and an end surface at an outlet side that are spaced from one another in a main flow direction of the filter insert. A frame circumferentially extends about lateral sides of the filter element. An axial seal is supported on the frame and has a sealing direction in or opposite to the main flow direction. When inserted into a filter housing and contacting a sealing surface of the filter housing, the seal separates seal-tightly the inlet and outlet. The frame has on two opposite lateral sides of the filter element contact surfaces for clamping the filter insert by matching clamping elements. The contact surfaces are oriented opposite to the sealing direction and each have an individual profile of varying height extending along the two opposite lateral sides.

Abstract: A filter housing (10) having a raw-side inlet (12) and a clean-side outlet (14) for media to be filtered and a forward-mounted part designed as a cyclone pre-separator (20) including at least one fastening region (32) of a first part (30) made substantially of plastic is fastened to the raw side, and a second part (40) braced between the first part (30) and the filter housing (10). The fastening region (32) of the first part (30) is screwed to the filter housing (10) using metal fastening elements (50, 54, 56, 60), and—at the upper side facing away from the filter housing (10) it has at least one pressing contour (70) for compensating for at least one dimension tolerance of the elements fastened together. The contour is substantially plastic material, which can be deformed by means of applying a force generated by the screwing together of the metal fastening elements (50, 52, 56, 60), in particular which can be melted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of polyquaternium-1, wherein an aprotic polar solvent is used as the reaction medium, and a solid polyquaternium-1 having a low degree of polydispersity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of the anti-inflammatory agent 5-chloro-3-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-6?-methyl-[2,3?]bipyridine, referred to as compound of formula (1) or etoricoxib, which is a pharmaceutically active ingredient inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2. In particular, the application concerns a novel process of making the compound of formula (1) by oxidizing a compound of formula (4).

Abstract: A generally applicable method for the selective covalent attachment of a reporter molecule to a replicating entity that allows one to obtain specific binders from a single round of library screening is disclosed. For example, selective biotinylation of phage particles and yeast cells displaying a binder to any given target can be achieved via application of a coupled enzyme reaction that includes a peroxidase, an oxidase and a catalase.

Abstract: A filter device has a compact filter made of a filter material that is wound spirally. A star filter that is made of a filter material that has folds arranged in a star shape surrounds the compact filter. The filter device has a cylindrical shape. A fluid to be filtered passes the compact filter in an axial direction and the star filter in a radial direction. The filter device is exchangeable and is mounted in a filter housing such that the compact filter and the star filter have a common raw side and a common clean side that are separated from each other.
