Easy way to prepare dispersible CNC dry powder by precipitation and conventional evaporation

1 Powder Compaction by Dry Pressing

Assessing dry powder inhalers

To enable what would otherwise be impractical, invasive and potentially dangerous testing, and to remove the huge variation and costs associated with human subjects, it is common practice to test inhalation devices and formulations using in vitro test apparatus. Industry standard test conditions and relevant parameters have been devised and published by the regulatory authorities and within the...

An easy-to-prepare mini-scaffold for DNA origami.

The DNA origami strategy for assembling designed supramolecular complexes requires ssDNA as a scaffold strand. A system is described that was designed approximately one third the length of the M13 bacteriophage genome for ease of ssDNA production. Folding of the 2404-base ssDNA scaffold into a variety of origami shapes with high assembly yields is demonstrated.

Dry powder inhaler formulation.

A drug product combines pharmacologic activity with pharmaceutical properties. Desirable performance characteristics are physical and chemical stability, ease of processing, accurate and reproducible delivery to the target organ, and availability at the site of action. For the dry powder inhaler (DPI), these goals can be met with a suitable powder formulation, an efficient metering system, and ...

AutoFlow: an easy way to build workflows

Many bioinformatics tasks require the use of different software, making workflows a current need in this research field. There are workflow builders that usually try to simplify the interface disregarding a complex use. This may lead to a non-scalability limitation, or the dependence on the facilities available. Here it is presented AutoFlow, a workflow builder that can handle most computer sys...
