  • SAMPLE FIXATION AND STABILISATION
    Publication number: 20170328819
    Abstract: It has surprisingly been discovered that it is possible to stabilise biomolecules such as RNA, DNA and proteins in biological samples such as cells, tissues, biopsies and blood using deep eutectic solvents (DES). It has also been discovered that DES mixtures can be used to fix and preserve cell morphology in biological samples such as tissue blocks, cancer biopsies and whole blood. This invention describes methods to stabilise and preserve biomolecules, whole cells, tissues, blood and biological samples using DES mixtures.

  • Lucent waveguide plasma light source
    Patent number: 9818597
    Abstract: A lucent waveguide plasma light source has a quartz waveguide body with a central through bore. The bore has orifices at its opposite ends, opening centrally of flat, end faces of the body. Between these the body has a circular cylindrical periphery. A drawn quartz tube is inserted into the body. The tube has its one end closed and a collar which locates the tube in the bore and is fused to the faces at the orifices of the bore. The tube is evacuated and charged with excitable material and closed as a sealed void. A Faraday cage and an antenna in a bore in the body are provided for feeding microwave energy to the light source. When powered with microwaves, resonance is established in the wave guide and a plasma is established in the void, wherein Light radiates and leaves the waveguide and Faraday cage radially of the periphery.

  • Light source
    Patent number: 9230769
    Abstract: An LER LUWPL source luminaire having a magnetron heat conductingly mounted below a finned heat dissipater with a suspension eye. The magnetron is attached to a microwave transition and a lucent crucible. An imperforate cover extends down from the heat dissipater and is closed by a transparent screen, held by a molding. A generally square shaped molding supports a polished-sheet-metal reflector (having four triangular faces, pyramidally arranged, with a square base embodied by a rim supported on the top of the screen above the molding) extending back to the lucent crucible, with its reflective surfaces obliquely facing both the crucible and the screen for reflection of light from the crucible out of the luminaire via the screen. The faces converge to a virtual apex, on the central axis of the lucent crucible. This axis is coincident with the pyramid's normal axis from the apex to the center of the base.
