  • Cleaning method for optical surfaces of urine analyzers
    Patent number: 6027570
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for cleaning optical surfaces, such as those in a urine analyzer, which surfaces come into repeated contact with urine test samples. The method involves contacting the optical surfaces with an aqueous solution of a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium salt, a non-ionic surfactant and a divalent ion.
    Type: Grant

  • Mediators suitable for the electrochemical regeneration of NADH, NADPH or analogs thereof
    Patent number: 5520786
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved electrode suitable for the electrochemical regeneration of the co-enzymes NADH and NADPH. The electrode has imparted on its surface a mediator function which is a 3-phenylimino-3H-phenothiazine or a 3-phenylimino-3H-phenoxazine. Also disclosed is a method of improving the performance of a biochemical fuel cell which operates with a dehydrogenase as a catalyst and a co-enzyme as the energy-transferring redox couple which involves using the improved electrode in the fuel cell.
