US Patent:

6559094, May 6, 2003

Filed:

Sep 9, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/392813

Inventors:

Olga Korotkikh - Edison NJ
Robert J. Farrauto - Edison NJ
Andrew McFarland - Dunellen NJ

Assignee:

Engelhard Corporation - Iselin NJ

International Classification:

B01J 2389

US Classification:

502326, 502327

Abstract:

The invention pertains to the preparation and use of catalytic materials and catalyst members for the selective oxidation of carbon monoxide in a gas stream that contains hydrogen. One such catalyst member may be produced by depositing by electric arc spraying a metal feedstock onto a metal substrate to provide a metal anchor layer on the substrate, and depositing a catalytic material comprising platinum and iron dispersed on a refractory inorganic oxide support material onto the metal substrate. The catalytic material may optionally be produced by wetting the support material, especially a particulate support material, with a platinum group metal solution and iron solution and drying and calcining the wetted support material in air at a temperature in the range of from 200Â C. to 300Â C. , preferably using a solution containing bivalent platinum ion species.

The catalyst member may be used by flowing the gas stream therethrough at a temperature at about 90 C. with a O:CO ratio of about 1:1 and a space velocity of about 20,000/hr or, alternatively, at a temperature of about 150 C. with a O:CO ratio of about 1.5:1 and a space velocity of about 80,000/hr.

International Classification:

C12M 3/06
C12M 1/00

Abstract:

Systems, methods and kits are described for culturing one or more biological cells in a microfluidic device, including provision of nutrients and gaseous components configured to enhance cell growth, viability, portability, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, culturing a single cell may produce a clonal population in the microfluidic device.

Assignee:

BERKELEY LIGHTS, INC. - Emeryville CA

International Classification:

A01N 1/02
C12M 1/00
B01L 3/00

Abstract:

A method of processing and storing biological cells includes introducing a flowable medium into a microfluidic device, the flowable medium including biological cells; sequestering one or more biological cells from the flowable medium in one or more isolation regions of the microfluidic device; and freezing the microfluidic device including the one or more biological cells sequestered therein.

Appl. No.:

16/043296

Inventors:

- Little Ferry NJ, US
Andrew MCFARLAND - South Hackensack NJ, US

Assignee:

Scientific Design Company, Inc. - Little Ferry NJ

International Classification:

B01J 23/68
B01J 21/04
B01J 35/00
B01J 37/02
C07D 301/03

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to the preparation of silver-based HSCs. During preparation of the catalyst a selected carrier is co-impregnated with a solution containing a catalytically effective amount of silver and a promoting amount of rhenium and other promoters. After co-impregnation, the carrier is subjected to a separate heat treatment prior to calcination. Such heat treatment is conducted for between about 1 minute and about 120 minutes at temperatures between about 40 C. and about 300 C. Catalysts prepared by the present methodology evidence improved selectivity, activity and/or stability resulting in an increase in the useful life of the catalyst.
