  • Compositions and methods for detecting animal byproduct in feed
    Patent number: 7189520
    Abstract: Analytes and ligands for detecting animal byproduct in agricultural samples such as animal feed to minimize the transmission of prion pathogens into food products consumed by humans. The analyte is a component of rendered animal byproduct such as meat and bone meal (MBM). An antibody specific for the analyte is produced by immunizing an animal with MBM or an immunogenic component of MBM that is found in rendered animal product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2007
    Assignee: Strategic Diagnostics Inc.
    Inventors: Mark T. Muldoon, Dale V. Onisk, Michael C. Brown, Christina Straughen, James W. Stave

  • Simple system for decomposing atrazine in wastewater
    Patent number: 5011599
    Abstract: A hybrid chemical/biological process which is highly effective to destroy the herbicide, Atrazine, in wastewater solutions is herein disclosed. The process comprises subjecting the atrazine molecule in an aqueous carrier to ozone to produce the oxidized product, diamino-s-triazine and thereafter, metabolizing the diamine in soil having indigenous and selected microorganism capable of degrading the diamine to carbon dioxide. Also disclosed is a disposal system capable of preforming the process of the invention in a single system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 1990
    Date of Patent: April 30, 1991
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Philip C. Kearney, Mark T. Muldoon, Cathleen J. Somich
  • Simple system to decompose pesticide waste water
    Patent number: 4915842
    Abstract: A hybrid chemical/biological process which is highly effective to destroy the herbicide, Atrazine, in wasterwater solutions is herein disclosed. The process comprises subjecting the atrazine molecule in an aqueous carrier to ozone to produce the oxidized product, diamino-s-triazine and thereafter, metabolizing the diamine in soil having indigenous and selected microogranism capable of degrading the diamine to carbon dioxide. Also disclosed is a disposal system capable of preforming the process of the invention in a single system.
