Abstract: Described are pressure relief devices and associated equipment, e.g., containers, the pressure relief device being adapted to provide pressure relief to a pressurized fluid within a container when a fusible metal component of the relieve device reaches a melting temperature.

Abstract: Provided is a robust process for preparing dialkylaluminum alkoxides from trialkyl aluminum species and aluminum alkoxides, performed in a non-coordinating solvent. In certain embodiments, the reaction can be facilitated by the use of at least one static mixer.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the fields of pharmacology and medicine, and provides vaccine compositions and methods of use, particularly influenza compositions and methods of use to treat neonatal subjects.

Abstract: An analytical element can be used to sensitively and rapidly detect a wide variety of specific binding ligands in either a competitive or sandwich assay format. The assays are carried out using a vanadium bromoperoxidase-labeled immunoreactant and a chemiluminescent signal-providing wash composition which comprises a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione derivative; a halogen, pseudohalogen, halogen-providing source or pseudohalogen-providing source; and a peroxide or a peroxide-generating reagent composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel dry analytical element for determination of an analyte in a fluid sample in thin film immunoassay, particularly chemiluminescence, fluorescence and colorimetry immunoassay. There is provided an analytical element comprising a support member, a reagent matrix comprised of at least one layer of a porous material carried on the support member, the matrix including a read area, an absorbent material in contact with the matrix, and light absorbing or reflecting means integral to the absorbent material and/or positioned between the absorbant material and the read area for absorbing or blocking background signal generated by washed, removed label and other interferents from outside the read area prior to it moving back into the read area. The analytical element can comprises a cover depending on the type of immunoassay to be conducted.
