Abstract: An apparatus and process for coating a plurality of articles in batches, in particular for applying a biocompatible layer on articles adapted to come into contact with blood or body tissue, e.g. a coagulation-preventing substance so as to render the articles non-thrombogenic. A plurality of article-carrying plates (14) are stacked upon one another and have a plurality of communicating wells (18) for receiving therein a respective article to be coated. A base plate (12) defines with a bottom side of a lowermost of said article-carrying plates a distribution chamber (34) for receiving and evenly distributing a solution containing a substance to be applied to said articles. The solution is fed through the wells of the stacked plates (14) in parallel vertical flows.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising heparin to be used as a non-thrombogenic surface when in contact with arterial blood flow. It also relates to a device treated on the surface thereof with such a composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing surface modifications having an improved antithrombogenic activity, whereby the improvement is achieved by treating heparin at a temperature above 40° C. or a pH in the rage of 9-14 or in contact with nucleophilic catalysts before attaching said heparin to the surface to be modified.
