  • Protein analysis
    Publication number: 20040009534
    Abstract: Disclosed, inter alia, is a method of evaluating a sample that includes a serum protein and one or more one or more compounds physically associated with the serum protein. The method can include using a peptide ligand that specifically interacts with the serum protein to analyze a complex formed by the serum protein and its associated compounds.

  • Chromatography apparatus and methods
    Publication number: 20020166816
    Abstract: A disposable chromatography cartridge for separating a chemical contained in a solution, the cartridge including a vessel having an inlet and outlet and a flexible wall that is deformable by externally applied force so as to reduce a volume within said vessel, and a monolith chromatography stationary phase inside said vessel. Also disclosed are chromatography apparatus using such a cartridge, separating a chemical in a solution using such a cartridge, and a method of making such a cartridge.

  • Process for purifying water
    Patent number: 6110375
    Abstract: Water to be purified is passed through a reverse osmosis step to produce a pure water stream and a waste water stream. The waste water is directed to a deionization step to produce purified deionized water which is recycled to the reverse osmosis step. The process directs far less water to waste as compared to conventional reverse osmosis processes. The process also produces water of higher organic and inorganic purity than can be obtained by either reverse osmosis or deionization alone.

  • System for purifying and degasifying water by reverse osmosis
    Patent number: 5156739
    Abstract: Water to be purified and degassed is passed through a reverse osmosis step which a pure water stream and a high pressure waste water stream are produced. The high pressure waste water is passed through an eductor to produce a vacuum. The pure water stream is passed into a first volume of a degassifier and the vacuum is directed to a second volume of the degassifier. The first and second volume of the degassifier are separated by a hydrophobic membrane.
