Abstract: A method, system and applicator for the solvent-less delivery of a bio-active material to a receiver. The applicator includes a discharge device, a reservoir which holds a bioactive material, and a solvent at a supercritical fluid state for delivering the bioactive material through the discharge device to the receiver. A spacer may be positioned between the discharge device and the receiver. The receiver may have a plurality of different bio-active material to be applied to a subject, each located at a different location on the receiver.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting growth of microbes in a liquid having a pH equal to or greater than about 2.5 by using a filter bed assembly or filter for filtering the liquid having a metal-ion sequestering agent for removing designated metal ion from the liquid. The liquid is passed through the filter bed or filter for a sufficient time so as to substantially reduce the designated metal ion from the liquid.

Abstract: A fluid container and method for inhibiting the growth of microbes in liquid nutrient in a container, the container having an interior surface having a metal-ion sequestering agent and/or antimicrobial agent provided in a localized area of the container formed by a two shot molding, insert molding or two shot injection stretch blow molding process, said metal ion sequestering agent provided for the removing and/or inhibiting growth of microbes in the liquid nutrient.

Abstract: A method for making a web having a metal-ion sequestering agent and treating a liquid using the web. The method of making the web includes electrostatically providing at least one metal-ion sequestering agent and/or antimicrobial agent. The web can be used to tread a liquid by placing the web into a tank and subjecting the liquid to the web.
