Patent number: 10960393Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a single-use, disposable module or manifold for testing and analysis of bioprocesses, as well as a portable and compact device which can be used with the module or manifold. A module comprising a valve, a filter or guard column, an affinity column, and a flow cell is provided with several ports for receiving tubing connections for a sample and one or more solvents, as well as one or more outlet ports for connections to one or more waste reservoirs. The flow cell may use UV light to determine a protein concentration of a sample in one particular example. The module can be connected directly or indirectly to a bioreactor containing the bioprocess and material to be sampled, and can be disposed of once a production run has been completed. In addition, manifolds are provided which can be embodied as a valve assembly, and which can comprise the same components and features as the disposable module. The manifolds and modules are compact and easy to use.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: IDEX HEALTH AND SCIENCE LLCInventors: Victor Simonyi, Darrin Kurt Pickle, James Smyth, Craig Love

Publication number: 20060025666Abstract: A flexible, surface electromyographic electrode apparatus is provided for use on a surface of biological tissue to measure bio-electric signals thereof. The electrode apparatus includes a conductive signal electrode device having a signal contact adapted to directly contact the surface of the biological tissue, and a signal transmission portion electrically coupled to the signal contact. A conductive ground electrode device of the electrode apparatus includes a ground contact that is adapted directly contact the surface of the biological tissue. A ground transmission portion of the ground electrode device is electrically coupled to the ground contact. The ground contact is disposed substantially about the signal contact so as to substantially surround a peripheral edge of the signal contact when both are in contact with the tissue surface. An insulation washer device is further disposed between the signal contact and the ground contact to substantially prevent conductive contact therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: Robert Getsla, Ronald Grevstad, Victor Simonyi, Terah Smiley
