  • Patent number: 8372655
    Abstract: The present invention provides a plate for mass spectrometry comprising a support and a PVDF-containing coating (that is, a PVDF-deposited thin layer) thereon, and a method of preparing a plate for mass spectrometry, which comprises coating the support surface with PVDF. The present invention also provides a method of analyte identification comprising subjecting an analyte-containing sample to gel electrophoresis to separate the analyte, blotting the separated analyte from the gel to the above-described plate for mass spectrometry, and subjecting the plate to mass spectrometry, whereby the transferred analyte is analyzed.

  • Patent number: 5728681
    Abstract: A container filled with infusion liquids useful for preparation of an infusion liquid containing sugars, amino acids, electrolytes, a fat emulsion and vitamins. A container having two compartments which are separated from each other by a separation means, which contains an infusion liquid comprising a fat emulsion, sugars and specific vitamins in the first compartment and an infusion liquid comprising amino acids, electrolytes and other specific vitamins in the second compartment. An infusion preparation containing sugars, amino acids, electrolytes, a fat emulsion and vitamins can be obtained easily and aseptically upon use, by simply removing a separation means and mixing the infusion liquids included in the first and second compartments.

  • Patent number: 5662931
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing a drug-containing liposome composition in which (1) a drug to be included into liposomes, particularly a physiologically active protein having a molecular weight of from 500 to 100,000, can be prevented from decomposition and (2) a high rate of drug inclusion can be attained; (3) the resulting liposome composition can be subcutaneously or intramuscularly administered and (4) makes contribution to sustained release of the drug. The process comprises (1) dissolving a lipid in a first organic solvent, (2) adding a drug-containing aqueous solution to the lipid solution, followed by emulsifying to obtain an emulsion, (3) mixing the emulsion at a low temperature with a second organic solvent in which the lipid is sparingly soluble, (4) collecting the precipitated fraction, and (5) suspending the precipitated fraction in an aqueous solvent.
