Abstract: Method for preparing a sample, wherein the sample is provided as a thin film on a support structure; the temperature of the support structure is adjusted to a value above the dew point temperature of the environment to decrease the film thickness, light is directed at the support structure, an intensity value of the transmitted light is measured, and the support structure is automatically inserted into a liquid cryogen dependent on the measured intensity value. The application further relates to a system comprising a support structure, a temperature-controlled stage for keeping the support structure at a pre-defined temperature, a transfer mechanism for moving the support structure into a container containing a liquid cryogen, a light source, a photodetector for measuring an intensity value of the transmitted light, and a control device for triggering the transfer mechanism dependent on the measured intensity value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a conjugate containing at least one kidney-selective carrier molecule and at least one active compound which has a protective action for the kidney against nephrotoxic active compounds, to a process for the preparation of the conjugate, to the use thereof for the protection of the kidney against nephrotoxic active compounds, and to a medicament comprising the conjugate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying a recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or recombinant FSH variant. The method comprises the steps of subjecting a liquid containing a recombinant FSH or recombinant FSH variant to an anion exchange chromatography, to a hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and to a dye affinity chromatography, wherein these chromatographies may be performed in any order, and wherein the method neither comprises a weak anion exchange chromatography nor a reverse phase chromatography. The method of purification results in a high yield of recombinant FSH having a desired degree of purity. The obtained FSH is especially useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of disorders and medical indications where FSH preparations are considered as useful remedies.
