Latest Patents
Farina's latest patents include a packaging system for the storage and shipment of solids. This innovative packaging system maintains the free-flowing characteristics of solid materials contained within. It consists of a container, a cover, a vapor-permeable bag, a vapor-impermeable liner, and at least two desiccant snakes. The vapor-permeable bag is designed to receive solid materials and is made from cloth or continuous fibers of high-density polyethylene that are randomly distributed and non-directional. The vapor-impermeable liner surrounds the vapor-permeable bag, providing a moisture barrier. The desiccant snakes, placed between the vapor-permeable bag and the liner, contain desiccant packages made from vapor-permeable material that allows moisture to pass freely.
Another significant patent by Farina is related to functionalized polymeric media for the separation of analytes. This invention focuses on the separation of various analytes that are polar, nonpolar, and ionic using functionalized polymeric media. The process involves preformed rigid particles of highly crosslinked homopolymer of polyvinylidene compounds, which are functionalized using residual vinyl groups. This functionalization enhances surface properties for applications such as liquid chromatography and solid-phase extraction.
