  • Patent number: 8206944
    Abstract: A novel dry stick device construction for the determination of an analyte in a sample is provided. The device comprises: (i) optionally a solid support, (ii) at least one reagent pad comprising a reagent or a combination of reagents capable of reacting with the analyte, a derivative of said analyte or an indicator compound for said analyte to provide a detectable signal when in a moistened state, the at least one reagent pad providing a first environment for said reagent(s), said first environment permitting an improved storage stability of the reagent(s) and dry stick device when in a non-moistened state, and (iii) a regulating pad being in contact with the at least one reagent pad, the regulating pad creating a second environment for said reagent(s), when in a moistened state, said second environment permitting an increased rate of reaction between the analyte and the reagent.

  • Patent number: 6143545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the content of phosphorous containing components in an edible oil comprising a high amount of non-hydratable phosphorus content, wherein said method comprises use of a phospholipase. Further the present invention relates to an enzyme with phospholipase activity, a cloned DNA sequence encoding the enzyme with phospholipase activity, a method of producing the enzyme, and the use of said enzyme for a number of industrial applications.

  • Patent number: 6048708
    Abstract: An improvement for enzymatically syhnthesizing a .beta.-lactam compound is presented. The improvement comprises catalyzing the acylation of an amino .beta.-lactam with an acylating agent for at least 5 hours with an amidase or acylase, wherein the concentration of each reactant is constantly higher than 70% of the lowest value of the saturated concentration of both reactants.

    Assignee: Gist-Brocades B.V.
    Inventors: Kim Clausen, Rocus M. Dekkers
  • Patent number: 5753458
    Abstract: A method for providing a semisynthetic .beta.-lactam antibiotic by enzyme catalyzed acylation of the parent .beta.-lactam with an activated derivative of the side chain acid wherein a modulator, which consists of one or more compounds different from the reactants and the reaction product and which suppresses the hydrolysis of the activated derivative of the side chain acid and the desired product more than it suppresses the synthesis of the desired product, is added to the reaction mixture, at the beginning of the reaction process, in a concentration from about 0.2 to 100.times.10.sup.3 .mu.m.
