The specific innovation proposed for continued research is a family of fully-automated (robotic) cell-culture systems, each a laboratory in a cassette, named collectively ?Multicult?. SHOT will incorporate several technical innovations, including options for gentle mixing of cell suspensions, transparent monolayer culture surfaces, control of inertial load (?g-level?) by rotation within the casset ...

The United States Air Force (USAF) aims to enhance the energy efficiency and readiness of the C-17 Globemaster III through the application of AeroCore's advanced technologies. These technologies, including Nucleated Foam Technology and On-Wing Restoration

THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A BLOOD-TEST STRIP FOR CHOLESTEROL. PLASMA IS SEPARATED ON THE STRIP FROM CELLS BY A PATENTED FILTRATION PROCESS THROUGH A GLASS FIBER FLEECE, COLLECTING THE PLASMA ON A DETACHABLE RECIPIENT MEMBER AND ELUTING IT INTO A LIQUID REAGENT. CHOLESTEROL ESTERASE (CHE) AND OXIDASE (CHOD) ARE INCORPORATED IN DRY FORM ON THE STRIP. QUANTITATION IS BASED ON A THRESHOLD ASSAY FOR PE ...
