Devices for the controlled growth and analysis of biofilms (biocide-resistant
corrosion-inducing bacteria) in laboratory and industrial applications |
|
Computer-controlled device for the high-resolution measurement
of surface tension, viscosity and adhesive properties of liquids
in closed loop systems.
|
|
Analytical system for assessing the degree of contamination
via aerosols and microscopic particulates in steady state environments.
|
|
Controlled turbulent-flow chamber with multiple ports and integral
restraining system for the introduction of therapeutic aerosols
into the lungs of experimental animals. |
|
Ultrasonic positive pressure generator for the production
of size-constrained (1 – 5 ¼m) particulate aerosols
from liquid solutions and nanocrystalline suspensions.
|
|
Device for the in situ examination and quantitative analysis
of gas exchange across synthetic and natural membranes.
|
|
Manifold for the targeted delivery of generated aerosols to
the lung. |
|
Laser-injected nuclear magnetic resonance probe for the analysis
of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization. The device
permits the mapping of surface topology at the atomic level
in viral particles and viroids.
|
|
A solid-state spectrofluorimeter designed for precise measurement
of nucleic acid concentration and molecular conformation, and
high-precision enzyme assays. |
|
An ergonomic and fully adjustable infant/restrainer seat, training
bench and stroller for severely disabled children. |
|
Orthotic and Prosthetic joints (knees, elbows, wrists), couplings
and actuators to replace amputated limbs.
|
|
Controlled environment experimental chamber for nuclear magnetic
resonance imaging of the brain.
|
|
An annular surgical stapler designed for gastro-intestinal
and bowel resection, requiring no incision in healthy tissue
for extracting the device following resection.
|
|
System for training surgeons in gastrointestinal endoscopy,
including sphincterotomy and papillotomy procedures.
|
|
Temperature controlled microscope stages of various designs
(liquid recirculation, Peltier, and liquid nitrogen/Joule
heat balance) for the precise control of biological specimen
temperature from -100° C to +60° C.
|
|
Software capable of recognizing healthy endocrine tissue in
pancreatic extracts, and calculating cell volumes for correlation
with Islet of Langerhans cell biochemical activity.
|
|
System designed to assess biochemical activity of isolated
Islet of Langerhans cells in vitro, prior to cryopreservation
and reflux implantation.
|
|
Extraction chamber for the purification of Islets of Langerhans
from whole pancreatic tissue. This system and the perifusion
cells and image analysis software described above have been
used extensively in Stage I clinical trials to reverse insulin
dependent diabetes.
|
|
Tissue culture assemblies and tools for the compartmented growth
and manipulation of nerve cells in culture using Campenot methodologies. |
