  • Patent number: 10583400
    Abstract: Membrane elements that use multiple membrane leaves may have a limited total active membrane area due to an increased diameter at the ends of the element. Membrane leaves may comprise a permeate carrier positioned between one or more membrane sheets. Adhesive may be used to seal one or more edges of the membrane leaf. The membrane sheets, permeate carrier and the adhesive contribute to the thickness of the edges of the membrane leaf and the diameter at the ends of the element. A reduced thickness of the edges of the permeate carrier may reduce the diameter at the ends of an element. Another permeate carrier sheet may also be used that is distanced from at least one edge of the membrane sheet so the permeate carrier sheet does not contribute towards the increased diameter at the ends of the element.

  • Publication number: 20100167412
    Abstract: A sensor system for determining a concentration of chemical and biological analytes is disclosed, which comprises a disposable reagent-carrying pipette tip; a liquid handling unit to which the pipette tip can be detachably mounted, the liquid handling unit capable of withdrawing liquid into the pipette tip; at least one light source; at least one photodetector, the detector capable of generating an electronic signal response indicative of light passed through or generated from the interior space of the pipette tip; and an electronic circuit means for processing, storing and transmitting the electronic signal response and controlling the light source.
