Embodiments herein describe tools, instruments and methods for aseptic loading, dispensing and/or delivering cells into an implantable device and aseptically and selectively sealing a device inside a sterile package as well as and storing and preparing for shipment the cell-filled device.

Instruments and methods for loading cells into implantable devices

Embodiments herein describe tools and instruments for holding, transferring, delivering, deploying an implantable device and methods and means of aseptically storing and shipping the implantable device including but not limited to a device case for protecting, housing and filling the device, a surgical sizer for preparing the implantable site, a deployer for transferring the implantable device from the device case and delivering or deploying the implantable device at the prepared implantable site.

Tools and instruments for use with implantable encapsulation devices

A coating composition is disclosed comprising: (i) a non-zwitterionic compound comprising sulfonate-functional groups and (a) alkoxysilane groups and/or (b) silanol-functional groups; (ii) alcohol and/or water; and (iii) a tetraalkoxysilane, oligomers thereof, lithium silicate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, silica, or combinations thereof.

Sulfonate-functional coatings and methods

A coating composition is described comprising: (i) a zwitterionic compound comprising sulfonate-functional groups and alkoxysilane groups and/or silanol-functional groups; (ii) alcohol and/or water; and (iii) a tetraalkoxysilane, oligomers thereof, lithium silicate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, silica, or combinations thereof, along with coated articles and methods of using.

Fluorinated coatings having a lubricious additive, articles with the fluorinated coatings, and methods of making articles with the fluorinated coatings are provided. More specifically, the fluorinated coatings are prepared from a curable coating composition that includes both a fluorinated silane and a fluorinated polyether oil. The curable coating composition is typically applied adjacent to a siliceous substrate and then cured. The resulting cured articles can have an outer surface that has a good tactile response, that is abrasion resistant, that is easy to clean, or a combination thereof.

Case for an encapsulation device

A coating composition is described comprising: (i) a zwitterionic compound comprising sulfonate-functional groups and alkoxysilane groups and/or silanol-functional groups; (ii) alcohol and/or water; and (iii) a tetraalkoxysilane, oligomers thereof, lithium silicate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, silica, or combinations thereof, along with coated articles and methods of making and using.

A polymeric coating for a glass substrate includes a hexafluoropropylene oxide derived silane polymer. The hexafluoropropylene oxide derived silane polymer has a molecular weight of greater than about 5500, a thickness of between about 2 and about 15 nanometers and a coefficient of friction constant of less than about 0.35. A water contact angle of the polymeric hexafluoropropylene oxide derived silane coating decreases by less than about 27% after being subjected to 10000 abrasion cycles.

Oleophobic coatings

An optical system configured to detect optical signals during imaging sessions. The optical system includes an objective lens that has a collecting end that is positioned proximate to a sample and configured to receive optical signals therefrom. The optical system also includes a removable path compensator that is configured to be located at an imaging position between the collecting end of the objective lens and the sample. The path compensator adjusts an optical path of the light emissions when in the imaging position. Also, the optical system includes a transfer device that is configured to move the path compensator. The transfer device locates the path compensator at the imaging position for a first imaging session and removes the path compensator from the imaging position for a second imaging session.
