  • Publication number: 20240132691
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for utilizing blended compositions of acetonitrile and toluene as organic wash solvents in the production of a synthetic oligonucleotide, the blended compositions producing higher synthetic oligonucleotide yields than a pure acetonitrile wash solvent. The method also provides a process for removing one or more impurities from the acetonitrile and toluene containing wash solvent received as a waste stream from the oligonucleotide synthesis process. The process includes adding at least one of an iodine reactive compound, a sulfur reactive compound and/or an acidic reactive compound to the waste stream, and fractionating the waste stream. The fractionation produces an overhead fraction and a bottom fraction where the overhead fraction includes the acetonitrile and the toluene, and the bottom fraction includes the one or more impurities.

  • Patent number: 11932036
    Abstract: A method and device are provided for marking electrical devices which can be arranged in a row on a support rail, with the aid of a laser head, wherein the support rail is pivotable about its longitudinal axis and the laser head is guided such that it can be moved at least along the longitudinal axis of the support rail. A number of marking instructions, each including a marking content and a position and an orientation of the surface to which the marking content is to be applied are specified. An image of at least a section of the support rail and of at least one electrical device are created from an image capture device and at least one of the positions at which one of the marking contents is to be applied is corrected based on an evaluation of the image. The marking instructions are grouped into marking levels in such a way that all marking instructions of one marking level can be applied by the laser head without a movement of the laser head or the support rail.

  • Patent number: 11254728
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for the production of a polypeptide that is biologically active as n-mer comprising a nucleic acid encoding a fusion polypeptide according to the following formula (Bn-CSo-Is-CSp-FC-CSq-It-CSr-Bm)u, wherein B denotes a polypeptide that is biologically active as n-mer and forms non-defined aggregates/multimers upon expression in the absence of a fused Fc-region, FC denotes a heavy chain Fc-region polypeptide, CS denotes a cleavage site, and I denotes an intervening amino acid sequence, wherein FC does not substantially bind to an Fc-receptor, recovering the fusion polypeptide from the cell or the cultivation medium, optionally cleaving the fusion polypeptide with a protease, and thereby producing a polypeptide that is biologically active as n-mer and forms non-defined aggregates/multimers upon expression in the absence of a fused Fc-region.

  • Publication number: 20210274083
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment of the method for controlling an illumination of an object, the object is illuminated by a first radiation source during the method. A second radiation source is provided, the latter being configured to illuminate the object in addition to the first radiation source. The method comprises a step A), in which a first measurement signal is captured, wherein a change in the first measurement signal is representative for a change in a first radiation property of radiation striking the object. In a step B), the second radiation source is controlled, on the basis of a detected change in the first measurement signal, in such a way that the second radiation source illuminates the object and the change in the first radiation property of the radiation striking the object is counteracted.
