Vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF-sequestering hydrogel microspheres that have been prepared to selectively bind VEGF from blood products are disclosed herein. In one particular embodiment, the microspheres bind VEGF as part of an intra-operative process such that the growth factor can be removed from the blood products before the products are used in a clinical procedure.

Hydrogel microspheres containing peptide ligands for growth factor regulation in blood products

The present invention relates to a method for separating organohalosilanes. The method includes introducing a mixture including at least a first organohalosilane and a second organohalosilane onto a chromatographic bed including a stationary phase. The method also includes passing a liquid mobile phase through the chromatographic bed to produce an eluate including at least one fraction enriched in the first organohalosilane and at least one fraction enriched in the second organohalosilane.

Purification of chlorosilanes using chromatography

A method is provided for pumping fluid through a channel of a microfluidic device. The channel has an input port and an output port. The channel is filled with fluid and a pressure gradient is generated between the fluid at the input port and the fluid at the output port. As a result, fluid flows through the channel towards the output port.

Method of pumping fluid through a microfluidic device

A method is provided of controlling communication between multiple ports in a microfluidic device. The method includes the step of providing a channel network in a microfluidic device. The channel network including a first channel having a first input port and an output port. The first channel is filled with a fluid and a first output droplet is deposited on the output port. The first output droplet has a radius of curvature. The first output droplet flows toward the first input port in response to placement of a first input droplet having a radius of curvature greater than the radius of curvature of the first output droplet on the first input port. The first input droplet flows toward the output port in response to the first input droplet having a radius of curvature less than the radius of curvature of first output droplet.
