  • Publication number: 20240017002
    Abstract: A method of pumping a fluid including providing a pump including a disposable component and a reusable component; connecting the disposable component and the reusable component; receiving a fluid medium from a fluid medium source into a first disposable conduit; drawing the fluid medium into a disposable piston pump assembly of a first disposable conduit; flowing the fluid medium through a disposable flow meter; measuring a flow rate of the fluid medium; discharging the fluid medium into a reusable bubble detector; and discharging the fluid medium from the reusable bubble detector if less than a preselected amount of gas is detected.

  • Patent number: 11779699
    Abstract: A pump including a disposable component including a disposable component inlet port coupled to a first disposable conduit in fluid communication with a fluid medium source, wherein the first disposable conduit includes a disposable piston pump assembly and a disposable bubble eliminator, and the first disposable conduit is in fluid communication with a disposable component outlet port, wherein the disposable bubble eliminator is in fluid communication with a lumen of the first disposable conduit and is operable to reduce a gas content of a fluid medium; wherein the disposable piston pump assembly is operable to pump the fluid medium from the disposable component inlet port, through the first disposable conduit and the disposable bubble eliminator, to the disposable component outlet port; and a reusable component including a reusable movable stage operable to compress the disposable piston pump assembly; and a reusable mechanical actuator operable to drive the movable stage.

  • Patent number: 11713318
    Abstract: Compositions and methods of making and using thereof are provided with a specific antimicrobial activity and efficacy toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and low levels of toxicity toward mammalian cells. The compositions include water-soluble molecules characterized by a hydrophobic interior fragment and side groups containing cationic groups. A class of these molecules is provided with variations in the length of the internal conjugated segment and in other molecular features, which impact the efficacy and toxicity. The substituents on the cationic functional group, the structural variations on the solubilizing group, and the length of the conjugated segment are important features affecting the antimicrobial property and the non-toxicity to mammalian cells of the composition.
