A system for calorimetry includes a well having a volume for receiving a sample, an input feature to facilitate reception of the sample in the well, a light source to irradiate the well and the sample with incident light, and a photonic sensor chip disposed at the bottom of the well. The photonic sensor chip includes plural nanohole array (NHA) sensors. A light detector is configured to measure transmission of light through the NHA sensors to obtain a series of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) measurements. Frame elements secure and mutually couple the light source, the photonic sensor chip, the light detector, and the input feature to form a calorimetry unit. A processor is configured to calculate a calorimetry measurement as a function of the series of EOT measurements, the calorimetry measurement being indicative of energy released as a result of the sample in the well undergoing a change.

The disclosure relates to antimicrobial compositions and their methods of use and manufacture. In particular, the antimicrobial compositions described herein comprise an antimicrobial active, a primary foaming agent, and an L-amino acid to provide rapid antimicrobial efficacy. In a preferred embodiment, the antimicrobial compositions are dermal cleansers. In a most preferred embodiment, the antimicrobial compositions comprise a foam structure enhancing agent.

Antimicrobial enhancement of cationic active skin antiseptics

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions for treating a floor surface. The disclosed compositions clean the floor surface, repair damage, or maintain the original look of the floor. The disclosed compositions also do not provide a permanent finish on the floor, are temporary coatings, or do not significantly change the gloss of the floor after application.

Compositions and method for floor cleaning or restoration

The present invention relates to mildly alkaline bathroom and/or hard surface cleaners providing improved foam performance. In particular, a concentrated, preferably disinfecting, high performance foaming cleaning composition is disclosed which can reduce or eliminate the need for scrubbing on bathroom and other hard surfaces. Methods of use are further disclosed for bathroom and/or other hard surface cleaning. The foam has increased stability for a period of time, followed by dissipation with an audible 'crackling' sound and easy rinsability.

Controlled rate of foam breakage in hard surface cleaners

A non-Newtonian concentrate composition includes a sensitizer or irritant, a surfactant, an anti-mist component and optionally a stability component. Example sensitizers and irritants include, but are not limited to, acids, quaternary compounds, and amines, and example anti-mist components include, but are not limited to, polyethylene oxide and polyacrylamide.

Development of extensional viscosity for reduced atomization for diluted concentrate sprayer applications

A composition for cleaning hard surfaces includes from 3 to 20 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 3 to 25 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 20 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. A ready-to-use solution of the composition includes from 0.1 to 5 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 0.1 to 5 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 5 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. The composition is safe for use with calcite stone surfaces. A method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises a use solution of the composition to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface. Another method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises preparing a use solution by diluting the composition with water, applying the use solution to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface.

Cleaning compositions for use with calcite-based stone

A hard surface cleaning composition, namely a bathroom cleaning composition, using partially neutralized citric acid salts and/or fully neutralized ethanolamine citrate salts are disclosed. The cleaning composition is unexpectedly safe to use, environmentally-friendly and efficacious for removal of soap scum and water hardness stains at mildly acidic and/or alkaline pHs. Methods of using the same are disclosed.

Citrate salt bathroom cleaners

A hard surface cleaning composition, namely a bathroom cleaning composition, using fully neutralized ethanolamine citrate salts is disclosed. The cleaning composition is unexpectedly safe to use, environmentally-friendly and efficacious for removal of soap scum and water hardness stains at mildly acidic and/or alkaline pHs. Methods of using the same are disclosed.
