Patents by Inventor Misayo OTANI

Misayo OTANI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230383245
    Abstract: The present invention provides a culture method of cells and/or tissues including culturing cells and/or tissues in a suspended state by using a medium composition having an effect of preventing sedimentation of cells and/or tissues, which is afforded by substantially retaining the cells and/or tissues, without substantially increasing the viscosity of the solution, by nanofibers which have been added to the solution and uniformly dispersed in the liquid medium, and the like.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10519419
    Abstract: The present invention provides a production method of a medium composition, including previously removing divalent metal cations contained in a polymer compound having an anionic functional group, preparing a dry powder of the polymer compound, and mixing the dry powder and the medium, and the like. The present invention also provides a purification method of a polymer compound having an anionic functional group, which includes mixing a suspension of the polymer compound having an anionic functional group in water and a cation exchanger that exchanges a divalent metal cation with a monovalent metal cation to give a polymer compound having an anionic functional group, which shows a reduced amount of contaminating divalent metal cations.
