Abstract: A method for producing soluble preparations of neutral glucan polymers is disclosed. The method involves treating whole glucan particles with a unique sequence of acid and alkaline treatments to produce soluble glucan. The soluble glucan can be purified to obtain a physiologically acceptable solution of neutral glucan molecules. A soluble neutral glucan preparation is obtained which forms a clear solution at a neutral pH and is equilibrated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucans which exert potent and specific immunological effects without stimulating the production of certain cytokines, to preparations containing the novel .beta.-glucans, and to a novel manufacturing process therefor. The neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucan preparation has a high affinity for the .beta.-glucan receptor of human monocytes and retains two primary biological (or immunological) activities, (1) the enhancement of microbicidal activity of phagocytic cells, and (2) monocyte, neutrophil and platelet hemopoietic activity. Unlike soluble glucans described in the prior art, the neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucan of this invention neither induces nor primes IL-1.beta. and TNF.alpha. production in vitro and in vivo. Safe and efficacious preparations of neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.

Abstract: The invention describes a whole .beta.-glucan drug delivery vehicle that non-specifically enhances the immune response, and is safe for human use. A drug is incorporated into a whole .beta.-glucan microparticle, and the combination is administered to an individual. The .beta.-glucan vehicle allows sustained release of the drug component while simultaneously enhancing the effectiveness of the drug by boosting the individual's endogenous immune response.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump with a replaceable pump head cartridge is disclosed. The removable cartridge includes a length of flexible tubing and a collapsing device, such as a rotor assembly, for successively collapsing the inner wall of consecutive portions of the tubing to propel fluid through the tubing. A cartridge housing at least partially encloses the tubing and the collapsing device. The collapsing device is supported on a cylindrical pin integral with the housing. The housing is mountable to and removable from the motor with the tubing substantially contained within the housing. The method of assembling the peristaltic pump includes the steps of forming a housing and positioning a flexible tubing within the housing. A rotor assembly is inserted into the interior of the housing. The housing is mounted to a motor which is provided for powering operation of the rotor assembly, and the ends of the tubing are connected to a supply fluid line and a delivery fluid line respectively.

Abstract: A dispenser cap for a non-liquid chemical delivery system is disclosed. The dispenser cap is attached to the base of a chemical container holding a non-liquid chemical. The dispenser cap is also coupled to a discharge conduit which includes a nozzle positioned within it. The nozzle may produce a direct vertical spray and a circumferential spray into the dispenser cap. The dispenser cap disclosed includes a distributor for intercepting the direct vertical spray of water into the dispenser cap. The distributor indirectly conveys the intercepted water into the container. The water conveyed into the container by the distributor produces a stream of chemicals which exits the container through the discharge conduit, without impinging upon the nozzle.

Abstract: A system for controllably metering a first liquid with a second liquid includes a venturi injector unit and a peristaltic pump. A source of pressurized first liquid is coupled to the input port on the venturi injector unit, while the peristaltic pump couples metered amounts of the second liquid to the injection port on the venturi injector unit. The throughflow of the first liquid within the venturi injector unit creates a reduced pressure that draws in the metered amounts of the second liquid provided at the injection port. The desired mixture of the first and second liquids is provided at the output port of the venturi unit. In addition to providing a metered output mixture, the use of a peristaltic pump further allows the second liquid to include a chemical that might degrade the performance of a conventional pump. The preferred embodiment discloses a dishwashing system wherein the first liquid is water and the second liquid is a chemical such as a detergent or a wetting agent.
