Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of detecting, in a sample, embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and/or cells undergoing reprogramming to produce induced pluripotent stem cells. These methods include providing a sample potentially containing such cells and providing a rosamine derivative compound of the formula (I): where the rosamine derivative compound selectively produces fluorescent signals for embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and/or cells undergoing reprogramming to produce induced pluripotent stem cells. These methods also include the steps of contacting the sample with the rosamine derivative compound and detecting the presence of the embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and/or cells undergoing reprogramming to produce induced pluripotent stem cells based on fluorescent signals emitted by the sample following said contacting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rosamine derivative compound, as described herein, having the following structure: Also disclosed are methods of making such compounds and for using them for detection and imaging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of rosamine derivative compounds, as described herein, in detecting differentiated forms of a cell type of interest in a sample and in screening for compounds which inhibit differentiation of the cell type of interest.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing a perfluoroalkadiene. A dihaloperfluorocarbon used as a starting material is added dropwise to a nonpolar organic solvent, a metal powder and an organic metal compound. The dihaloperfluorocarbon is slowly added dropwise in a temperature range from 30° C. to 150° C. for a certain period of time. Moreover, the nonpolar organic solvent used may be benzene, toluene, xylene, etc., and the organic metal compound is used by being dissolved in ethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran at a concentration of 1 to 3M. The metal powder used may be Mg, Zn, Cd, etc.

Abstract: The invention is a method for continuously preparing highly pure octafluorocyclopentene for use in dry-etching processes. The method includes reacting octachlorocyclopentene with KF in a continuous manner, and purifying crude octafluorocyclopentene. In the reacting step, two KF-charged filters are installed in parallel and allowed to communicate with a reactor containing octachlorocyclopentene in an alternating manner to produce crude octafluorocyclopentene. In the purifying step, organics having lower boiling points than octafluorocyclopentene are removed, and metal ingredients and organics having boiling points higher than octafluorocyclopentene are separated to recover octafluorocyclopentene as a gas. The gaseous octafluorocyclopentene composition contains C5F8 in an amount of 99.995 vol % or higher, nitrogen in an amount of 50 vol ppm or less, oxygen in an amount of 5 vol ppm or less, water in an amount of 5 vol ppm or less, and metal ingredients in an amount of 5 wt ppb or less.
