Title: The Innovative Contributions of Eric Schopf
Introduction
Eric Schopf is a notable inventor based in Solana Beach, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of radiopharmaceuticals and nanotechnology, holding three patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of Schopf's latest patents is the "Automated purification and formulation device for radiopharmaceutical compounds." This device automates the purification process of radiopharmaceuticals, utilizing a purification subsystem that loads samples into a loop for downstream purification via HPLC. It features a column selector valve to choose from multiple columns, allowing for the collection of fractions and the desired product. The automated formulation subsystem enhances the process by sending the product to a dilution reservoir before it is pneumatically pushed onto a solid phase extraction cartridge. Additionally, it performs automated rinse, elution, and reconstitution, and can be directly coupled to an automated radiosynthesizer.
Another significant patent is for "Polymeric nanocarriers with linear dual response mechanism." This invention involves the synthesis of nanocarriers made from polymers that degrade in response to lower pH and/or reactive oxygen species (ROS). These compositions are designed to selectively deliver therapeutic payloads within patients, responding to specific conditions in the body. The patent also includes methods for synthesizing these responsive nanocarriers.
