Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of immobilizing the biologically active substance which has an excellent capability of immobilizing a target biologically active substance, and exhibits low nonspecific adsorption of the biologically active substance to provide a high S/N ratio, without using a functional group for fixing the biologically active substance and without having a process of inactivating the functional group for fixing the biologically active substance after immobilizing the biologically active substance. The above object is achieved by a method of immobilizing a biologically active substance comprising the step of: bringing a solution into contact with a compound-side surface of an immobilizing substrate to immobilize the biologically active substance on a surface of the immobilizing substrate, the solution being prepared by dissolving the biologically active substance in a phosphate buffer having a phosphate concentration of 0.1 M or more, and the immobilizing substrate comprising a substrate and a compound containing a hydrophilic group inhibiting nonspecific adsorption on a surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for covering a substrate with a polymner film characterized in that, prior to the deposition of said polymer film, nanoparticules are adsorbed electrostatically onto the surface of said substrate to be covered.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for assembling an adhesive device comprising a first matrix-forming material with holes and a second material, the method comprising: (a) compose the first matrix-forming material with holes; (b) compose the second material with a Tm lower than the Tm of the first material, while enabling increase in the Tm of the second material; (c) assemble the adhesive device by filling the holes of the first matrix-forming material of step (a) with the deformable second material of step (b) at a temperature where the second material is deformable and the first material is non-deformable; (d) increase the Tm of the second material.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of making improved net-shaped components by a hybrid metal deposition process for either hot or cold metals. The method involves using a metal deposition machine to deposit at least one layer of a metal alloy onto a top surface of a substrate to form a component part, and to cut the component part with a cutting component, such as an electron beam gun to form a predetermined net-shaped component part. Preferably, the number of layers deposited equals the number of layers cut.

Abstract:
A method for furnishing a therapeutic-agent-containing medical device is provided. The method comprises: (a) providing a reactive layer comprising a cross-linking agent on a medical device surface; and (b) subsequently applying a polymer-containing layer, which comprises a polymer and a therapeutic agent, over the reactive layer. The cross-linking agent interacts with the polymer to form a cross-linked polymeric region that comprises the therapeutic agent. Examples of medical devices include implantable or insertable medical devices, for example, catheters, balloon, cerebral aneurysm filler coils, arterio-venous shunts and stents.
Abstract:
A product dispenser (10) for dispensing a use solution from a solid product includes a chamber (11) having a front (12), a back (15), and a bottom (16). The chamber (11) defines a cavity (20) configured and arranged to receive a solid product and a diluent. An inlet (21) proximate the back (15) of the chamber (11) is configured and arranged to receive the diluent, and an outlet portion (26) is in fluid communication with the inlet (21). The outlet portion (26) spans a length of the back (15) and includes a plurality of apertures (27) along the length of the back (15). The plurality of apertures (27) allows diluent to fan out along the back (15), flow down the back (15), and cascade evenly with relatively even pressure from proximate the back (15) toward proximate the front (12) of the chamber (11). A use solution outlet (32) proximate the bottom (16) and the front (12) of the chamber (11) allows diluent and a use solution to exit the chamber (11).
