    Date of Patent: June 14, 2011
    Assignee: Petroleum Analyzer Company, LP
    Inventors: Kevin Kyle, Larry Youngblood
  • Cooling apparatus for microwave chromatography
    Patent number: 7908901
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a radiant energy heated oven is disclosed, where the cooling apparatus cools the oven by directing a flow of coolant through a chamber in thermal communication with the oven resulting in sub-ambient cooling, sub-ambient holds, and in chromatography instruments, higher sample throughput by reducing cycle time or column cool down time.

  • Method and compositions for detecting of bloodstains using fluorescin-fluorescein reaction
    Patent number: 6692967
    Abstract: A method, compositions and kit are set forth for detecting blood stains. A reactant solution includes fluorescin solubilized (reduced) in acetic acid in ethanol. The solution may be buffered to a pH of approximately 9. After spraying the reactant solution on the suspected area an oxidizer is applied to promote the fluorescin to fluorescein reaction with the blood. The reacted fluorescein is then detected through luminescence for capture by photography.
