Patent number: 11410752Abstract: A system, software application and method that allows a customer to protect their proprietary database of compounds and substances while utilizing a retrosynthesis software application is disclosed. The customer's proprietary database is encrypted prior to being provided to the retrosynthesis system. This encrypted is performed using a hash and optionally a salt. The retrosynthesis algorithm then creates synthons as is traditionally done. However, after their creation, the synthons are hashed so that they may be compared to the entries in the customer's proprietary database. In this way, the actual contents of the customer's database are never made available to the retrosynthesis system or software application.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignees: EMD Millipore Corporation, Sigma-Aldrich Co., LLCInventors: Sarah Trice, Tim Knehans, Maciej Wojcikowski

Patent number: 11305271Abstract: Adsorptive media for chromatography, particularly ion-exchange chromatography, derived from a shaped fiber. In certain embodiments, the functionalized shaped fiber presents a fibrillated or ridged structure which greatly increases the surface area of the fibers when compared to ordinary fibers. Also disclosed herein is a method to add surface pendant functional groups that provides cation-exchange or anion-exchange functionality to the high surface area fibers. This pendant functionality is useful for the ion-exchange chromatographic purification of biomolecules, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: David Yavorsky, John Amara, Joaquin Umana, William Cataldo, Mikhail Kozlov, Matthew Stone

Patent number: 11154821Abstract: A composite liquid filtration platform including a composite filtration medium featuring an electrospun polymeric nanofiber layer collected on a porous membrane. When in use, the porous membrane acts as a prefilter used upstream from the polymeric nanofiber layer to remove particles from a liquid stream flowing through the composite filtration structure. The nanofiber layer, positioned downstream from the porous membrane, is used as the retentive layer for critical filtration to provide biosafety assurance, and is responsible for capturing microorganisms like bacteria, mycoplasma or viruses. The composite liquid filtration platform provided herein exhibits permeability advantages over conventional porous membranes or nanofiber mats spun on coarse non-wovens.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: Onur Y.
