  • Patent number: 11266244
    Abstract: Stackable or nestable single person seating assemblies that include a leg support defined by a plurality of legs and a crossbar that extends between the plurality of legs. The seat assembly includes a back that is rotatably coupled to the plurality of legs and a seat that is rotatably coupled to the back. A biasing element extends from the leg support to the seat and is coupled to a respective leg. Respective portions of the biasing element provide a third pivot axis and a fourth pivot axis that are activated when the back is reclined relative to the seat.

  • Publication number: 20210269767
    Abstract: Methods for increasing the stability of, or protecting, labile components, such as ethanolamine, growth factors, vitamins, etc., in compositions such as a cell culture medium, are described. Stability of the labile compound is increased either, by derivatization or by sequestering the labile compound. Sequestering can be done either by encapsulation within a microcapsule or by the use of sequestering agents. Encapsulation can provide controlled release of the susceptible compound being protected. These methods may improve or extend the storage conditions, the shipping and handling of media compositions comprising the labile compounds at room temperature rather than at lower temperatures, thereby decreasing shipping costs.

  • Patent number: 11028361
    Abstract: Methods for increasing the stability of, or protecting, labile components such as ethanolamine, growth factors, vitamins, etc., in compositions such as a cell culture medium. Stability of the labile compound is increased either, by derivatization of the labile compound with chemicals, or by sequestering the labile compound. Sequestering can be done either by encapsulation within a microcapsule, or by the use of sequestering agents. Encapsulation includes the encapsulation of dendrimers complexes of susceptible compounds within the microcapsule, thereby providing the controlled release of the susceptible compound that was protected. These methods may improve and extend storage conditions of compositions comprising the labile compounds, improve shipping and handling of compositions comprising the labile compounds, such as dry media formulations, at room temperature rather than at lower temperatures thereby decreasing shipping costs.

  • Publication number: 20200332250
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are described for preparing media, feeds, and supplements. Such methods and medias may display increased stability of labile components and may use, for example, microsuspension and/or encapsulation technologies, chelation, and optionally, coating and/or mixing the labile compounds with anti-oxidants. The compositions may withstand thermal and/or irradiation treatment and have reduced virus number. These techniques may result in product with extended shelf-life, extended release of their internal components into culture, or in product that can be added aseptically into a bioreactor using minimal volumes. The compositions and methods may optimize the bioproduction workflow and increase efficiency.
