Abstract: Described is a method for transfecting a cell comprising bringing a complex comprising vector(s) and magnetic particle(s) in contact with a cell by applying a magnetic field and methods of treatment using said method. Furthermore, described is such a complex as well as methods for making it. Finally, pharmaceutical compositions, uses of such complexes and a kit are described. The method described is particularly useful where automatizable high-throughput transfection is required for large scale screening processes.

Abstract: The invention is in an apparatus for the remediation of particulate material and gaseous pollutants from a flue gas flow that is simple and highly efficient in removing nearly all toxic pollutants, particularly sulfur dioxide, from a flue gas flow, and includes a manifold that is to receive and pass a polluted flue gas flow that mounts an injector that is fitted into the manifold wall to inject finely ground sorbent materials counter-current to the flue gas flow, creating turbulence and a thorough mixing to effect compaction and/or agglomerization of the pollutant and sorbent particles.
