  • Publication number: 20160018347
    Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for determining the composition of liquids, including the identity of one or more drugs in the liquid, the concentration of the drug, and the type of diluent using immittance spectroscopy. These devices, systems and methods are particularly useful for describing the identity and, in some variations, concentration of one or more components of a medical liquid such as intravenous fluid.

  • Publication number: 20140375324
    Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for determining the composition of liquids, including the identity of one or more drugs in the liquid, the concentration of the drug, and the type of diluent using immittance spectroscopy. These devices, systems and methods are particularly useful for describing the identity and, in some variations, concentration of one or more components of a medical liquid such as intravenous fluid. In particular, described herein are devices, systems and methods that may operate in low ionic strength diluents. Also described are methods of recognizing complex immittance spectrograph patterns to determine the composition of a liquid by pattern recognition.

  • Patent number: 7858049
    Abstract: A parallel reactor system including a reactor and vessels in the reactor for holding reaction mixtures, and a cannula for introducing fluid reaction material into the vessels. A robot system is operable to insert the cannula into cannula passages in the reactor for delivery of reaction materials, including condensed gases, to respective vessels, and to withdraw the cannula from the cannula passages after delivery. Related methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7597852
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for screening a library of materials. Materials are provided in a plurality of locations on a substrate. The locations include first regions that are sufficiently transparent to a first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the first region using a first analytical technique, and second regions that are sufficiently transparent to a second form of radiation to permit analysis of a portion of the sample supported in the second region using a second analytical technique, but are insufficiently transparent to the first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the second region using the first analytical technique. Sample materials are screened at one or more sample locations of the substrate using the first analytical technique in the first region and the second analytical technique in the second region.
