Patent number: 11540516Abstract: Provided are m-diamide compounds and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The m-diamide compounds have a structure represented by formula I. The m-diamide compounds of the present invention can have a high insecticidal activity at a low dose and take effect rapidly, can exert the insecticidal activity one day after application, can achieve a high insecticidal activity within three days, and have a good fast-acting property; moreover, due to the good effect at a low dose, the m-diamide compounds can reduce the damage to plants and human beings caused by excessive drug concentrations, enable less drug residue to be generated during application which is more conducive to environmental protection, and have broad application prospects.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: CAC SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL TRADING CO., LTD.Inventors: Liang Lv, Jiyong Liu, Juncheng Xiang, Wenjing Ma, Liqi Zhou, Shuang Hou, Jueping Ni, Zongcheng Li

Patent number: 10634587Abstract: A system for isolating preselected cell types from a fluid sample that includes a plurality of cell types includes a cell-capture fluidic chip, and a chip holder configured to receive the cell-capture fluidic chip and to maintain the cell-capture fluidic chip with a substantially fluid-tight seal while in operation. The chip holder is further configured to release the cell-capture fluidic chip to be removed from the chip holder for further processing. The cell-capture fluidic chip includes a substrate, a laser micro-dissection membrane disposed on the substrate, and a channel-defining layer disposed on the laser micro-dissection membrane. The laser micro-dissection membrane has a surface adapted to capture preselected cell types preferentially over other cell types of the plurality of cell types. The channel-defining layer is removable from the laser micro-dissection membrane for further processing of the cell-capture fluidic chip.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Hsian-Rong Tseng, Mitch A.
