Patent number: 7504498Abstract: A water-soluble methyl cellulose ether, having a flocculation point below 100° C., is manufactured by reacting methyl chloride and a cellulose activated by mercerizing the cellulose with aqueous alkali in the presence of a C2-C3 alkyl chloride as a reaction medium at a temperature from 65° C. to 90° C. and at a pressure from 3 to 15 bar. The weight ratio between the cellulose and the C2-C3 alkyl chloride is normally from 1:1 to 1:5. The use of the reaction medium makes it possible to produce at a low pressure methyl cellulose ether at a good rate.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2002Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Akzo Nobel N.V.Inventors: Lars Berglund, Karl-Axel Johansson, Kenneth Sundberg

Publication number: 20060166271Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method named the COBASORB test, which can be used for testing the cause of cobalamin malabsorption in humans. The COBASORB test contains three separate tests (first, second and third test) that can be performed separately, sequentially or in random order and number. The first test uses non-radioactive cobalamin for ingestion, the second test uses non-radioactive cobalamin and recombinant intrinsic factor for ingestion and the third test uses recombinant haptocorrin saturated with cobalamin for ingestion. All three tests involve analysis of changes in the concentration of cobalamin saturated transcobalamin (holo-TC) and cobalamin saturated haptocorrin (holo-HC) in the blood. Also disclosed are kits suitable for use in these methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2004Publication date: July 27, 2006Inventors: Lars Berglund, Ebba Nexoe
