Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100051548System and Method for Solvent Extraction - A settling system for use in solvent extraction separation of a first phase from a second phase after mixing, the second phase having a greater chemical affinity for a component dissolved or dispersed in the first phase for extracting the component from the first phase. The settling system includes a pre-settler of a plurality of channels arranged for flow of the first and second phases generally counter-currently with respect to each other for initial separation of the first and second phases. The settling system also includes a main settler for further separating the first and second phases.03-04-2010

20090014388Grafted Photo-Polymerized Monolithic Column - The present invention relates to the fabrication of a grafted, UV photo-polymerized silica-based monolithic column and the use of such column for the extraction of DNA. In one embodiment, a method is provided for fabricating a silica-based monolithic column, wherein a vessel is filled with a polymerization mixture that is formed into monolithic solid phase for DNA extraction through in situ photo-polymerization.01-15-2009
20090215124Nucleic acid isolation methods and materials and devices thereof - The present invention relates to methods for purifying nucleic acid from a sample using mild conditions that do not affect the chemical integrity of the nucleic acid. The method comprises contacting the sample with an matrix entrapped chitosan solid phase which is able to bind the nucleic acids at a first pH, and then extracting the nucleic acid from the solid phase by using an elution solvent at a second pH.08-27-2009
20100233792Microdevices for Chemical Sensing and Chemical Actuation - The invention relates to sensors for detecting chemical and biological material and for chemical actuation. In particular, the sensors of the present invention incorporates membranes or beams that are deformable in the presence of chemical adsorption on its surface. The sensor of the present invention contains a polymeric membrane or beam (09-16-2010
20110086181DNA EXTRACTION USING A PHOTO-POLYMERIZED MONOLITH IN A CAPILLARY - The present invention relates to the fabrication of a grafted, UV photo-polymerized silica-based monolithic column and the use of such column for the extraction of DNA. In one embodiment, a method is provided for fabricating a silica-based monolithic column, wherein a vessel is filled with a polymerization mixture that is formed into monolithic solid phase for DNA extraction through in situ photo-polymerization.04-14-2011

20100307301Configurable Tooling Block - A configurable tooling block for a CNC turret lathe holds a plurality of tools at a single index position of the turret. The tooling block includes a main body, a mounting flange, and a coolant manifold removably mounted on the main body on either a first side face or a second side face of the main body. The main body has a plurality of tool-receiving openings, at least one of which is a rectangular opening for receiving an OD tool. The manifold may be provided with individually operable valves for controlling coolant flow to output ports associated with the tool-receiving opening, and may be made of a material that is lighter than the material used to form the main body to reduce overall weight.12-09-2010
