  • Process for preparing recombinant insulin using microfiltration
    Patent number: 10562951
    Abstract: The use of two tandem microfiltration (MF) steps in a process for making recombinant insulin is described. The two MF steps in a single downstream purification unit operation reduce both soluble and insoluble impurities and exchange the insulin product into a suitable buffer for downstream purification.
    Type: Grant

  • System for changing the shape or fit of glove
    Patent number: 5367712
    Abstract: A glove is provided for enhancing the fit around a hand inserted therein. The glove has a fit adjusting mechanism attached to one or more adjusting strips via a adjusting cable element which has a variable effective length. The adjusting strip or strips extend substantially circumferentially around the base of the glove. As the adjusting mechanism is turned, the effective length of the cable element is shortened thereby cause the closed loop of the strip and cable element to contract around the hand inserted in the glove. As a result, the fit of the glove around the hand is enhanced.
