  • Patent number: 9856307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to soluble monomeric Anti-Mullerian Hormone Receptor type II (AMHRII) fusion proteins and uses thereof, in particular for detection or quantification of the bioactive cleaved form of Anti-Müillerian Hormone in a sample. In particular, the present invention relates to a soluble monomeric AMHRII fusion protein wherein one AMHRII extracellular domain is fused to a heterologous polypeptide. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method for detecting or quantifying the presence of bioactive cleaved AMH in a sample, said method comprising contacting the sample with a soluble monomeric AMHRII fusion protein of the invention.

  • Patent number: 9221085
    Abstract: A cleaning and separating system is provided for cleaning tanks (such as crude oil storage tanks), and other containers or enclosures. The cleaning and separating system invention fits within a limited space having a relatively small foot-print; preferably an 8 foot tall by 8 foot wide by 10 foot deep shipping container. Generally, wash fluid is sprayed into a vessel to be cleaned in order to form a slurry comprising liquid and solids. The slurry is then transferred to a cleaning and separating apparatus, where it is separated into liquid and solid components. The solids can be disposed of, while the liquids can be reclaimed.
