Abstract: A flexible baffle and methods of installation thereof into a bioreactor or mixer vessel are provided. The flexible baffle includes a plurality of segments connected to one another via hinges. Each segment includes at least one alignment element that aids in aligning the segments as the baffle is placed within the bioreactor or mixer vessel, such that the baffle can change from a non-linear shape (e.g., curved) during installation to a linear shape upon completion of installation into the bioreactor or mixer vessel.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing a minimum working volume of a stirred tank includes a body having upper and lower surfaces, and an exterior profile shaped to closely fit within an interior of the stirred tank. The body including an interior portion extending through the body from the upper surface to the lower surface, the interior portion configured to receive and partially surround an impeller within the stirred tank, while allowing rotation of the impeller to agitate a fluid in the vessel when in use. The body further including an opening in a side surface of the body, the opening extending into the interior portion and configured to facilitate removal of fluid from the vessel when the stirred tank is in use, and to be removed from the stirred tank via a drain.

Abstract: Remediating hemp oil includes controlling heat and oxygenation levels to reduce the relative weight percentage of THC while mitigating the conversion of other cannabinoids to other compounds. The method may include bubbling air, oxygen, or another oxygen-containing gas into a reactor while maintaining the temperature of the hemp oil.

Abstract: A relatively dry, relatively free flowing cannabinoid concentrate composition having a plant extract and a thickening agent. The cannabinoid concentrate composition may have a variety of cannabinoids, drying agents, flowing agents, and/or stabilization agents. The mixture may be a dry powder formulation similar to the consistency of flour or sand. The mixture may comprise a cannabinoid raffinate, an isolated cannabinoid, maltodextrin, and or silica.

Abstract: Multiple methods of synthesizing cannabigerol are presented. Combining olivetol with geraniol derivatives are provided. Cross-coupling methods of combing functionalized resorcinols are provided. Useful intermediates are formed during such cross-coupling steps.

Abstract: A resorcinol with modifications at the 2-position is provided. The reactant resorcinol may have a variety of functional groups at each of the 1, 3, and 5 position such as a hydroxide, a lower alkyl group, a phenyl, a substituted phenyl, a lower alkenyl, or a lower alkynyl sp2 carbon group (e.g., substituted phenyl, vinyl), sp (e.g., alkyne), hydrogen. The resorcinol is modified at the 2-position with a nucleophile or an electrophile. The resulting resorcinol may serve as a stable intermediate for the synthesis of cannabinoid or cannabinoid derivatives.

Abstract: An improved system and method for controlling the temperature of fluids during a mixing procedure or a chemical, pharmaceutical, or biological process is disclosed. One embodiment of the system comprises: a first collapsible bag including a perimeter and a maximum dimension thereacross measured at full expansion of the first collapsible bag; a first interior surface portion; a second interior surface portion; one or more welds connecting the first and second interior surface portions of the first collapsible bag so as to form a channel between the first and second interior surface portions, an inlet connected to a first portion of the channel; an outlet connected to a second portion of the channel, the channel defining a bulk fluid flow pathway through the first collapsible bag from the inlet to the outlet; and a first temperature-controlling surface in contact with a first exterior surface portion of the first collapsible bag.

Abstract: An apparatus for extracting, trimming and discharging blow molded plastic bottles includes a rotary turntable and a plurality of bottle transfer units spaced around the turntable. A drive indexes the units past the stations at which bottles are extracted from mold halves in an inverted position, righted, trimmed and discharged to a take away conveyor.
