Abstract: Sample displacement chromatography is performed at low operating pressures (less than 30 bar) and/or at high sample loading (in excess of 500 mg/cm2 column area), with product recovery being effected in a non-gradient manner. The low operating pressures permit the use of simple and inexpensive apparatus. Non-gradient product recovery allows the desired product to be allowed in solutions with advantageously high concentration. Materials which may be purified include pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical excipients, fine chemicals, biochemicals, X-ray contrast agents, chelating agents, peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides and vaccines. Apparatus embodiments include sample displacement chromatography apparatus comprising one or more ion exchange columns in direct combination with one or more desalting columns, and multicolumn chromatography apparatus permitting switching between a series separation mode and a parallel extraction mode.

Abstract: A water-dispersible lipidic hop extract composition, comprising at least 10% by weight of free fatty acid substances derived from hops, is useful to increase the utilization of the hop aroma and flavor components. It may be produced by treatment of an extract of hops with an excess of alkali. The starting hop extract, made conventionally as by extraction with organic solvent or carbon dioxide, preferably has alpha, isoalpha, and beta hop acids removed before treatment with excess alkali. A cosolvent, such as a lower alkanol, polyol, or wetting agent, heat, or high shear may be used to improve mixing of the lipidic organic phase of the hop extract with the excess alkali. The water-dispersible lipidic hop extract imparts an enhanced hop aroma and flavor upon addition to the wort at some point during the brewing process between boiling and the beginning of fermentation. A beer incorporating the dispersible lipidic hop extract has a stronger hop aroma and flavor than beer incorporating the usual hop extract.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of high-grade chloramine by the action of commercial eau de Javelle of 100 chlorometric degrees on a solution of ammonia in the presence of ammonium chloride. According to this process, the chloramine is obtained having a content greater than or equal to 2 mol L−1, that is to say, greater than or equal to 10.3%. The process can be carried out continuously or discontinuously.

Abstract: The invention concerns multilayer microspheres containing an acid substance, a basic substance, and a water-soluble isolating agent which, when it dissolves in water, after almost instant effervescence, brings about a homogeneous dispersion of active principal(s) which is present in the acid and basic substances.

Abstract: A method for repairing a defect in cartilage, comprising the provision of apertures in the cartilage by drilling holes at the base of the cartilage defect, which holes may enter the mesenchymal depot, introducing a porous scaffold material containing a plurality of magnetic particles into the apertures, and subsequently and sequentially injecting magnetically-tagged cartilage growth promoting materials such as various growth factors or chondrocytes into the area of the defect. The magnetically tagged growth promoting material is then drawn into the apertures by magnetic attraction of the magnetic particles contained in the porous scaffold material, either by virtue of the particles being permanently magnetic, or by the imposition of an external magnetic field. The present application claims the biodegradable porous scaffold material containing the plurality of magnetic particles.
