In a surgical drain system formed with two or more branches, exudate flow from a patient's wound is directed between two branches with the respective filling and emptying times determined in order to identify the presence of a blockage in the drain.

Surgical drain

A chemical sensor including at least one resonant detection structure, the detection structure including at least one layer based on a porous material, the pores of which are covered with at least one functionalization layer that can adsorb or absorb at least one chemical species.

Resonant chemical sensor comprising a functionalisation device and method for the production thereof

The invention concerns a method for producing a chromatography-enrichment column, the method comprising the following steps: (a) depositing at least one layer of desired particles, which may be identical or different, and are intended to constitute the stationary phase, in a compact assembly, on the flat surface of a substrate; (b) crosslinking the layer in at least the regions corresponding to the desired shape of the enrichment column to be obtained; (c) impregnating the layer with a light radiation-sensitive material; (d) insolating the layer obtained in step (c) so as to form insolated regions of which the shape corresponds to the desired internal shape of the enrichment column, if the light radiation-sensitive material behaves like a positive resin or to form non-insolated regions of which the shape corresponds to the desired internal shape of the enrichment column if the light radiation-sensitive material behaves like negative resin; and (e) eliminating the light radiation-sensitive material in the zones corresponding to the internal shape of the enrichment column. The invention is used in particular in the field of chemical analysis.

The invention concerns a method for producing a chromatography analysis column, the resulting column, and a device comprising such a column. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: (a) depositing on the flat surface of a substrate a first layer of particles which are intended to form the stationary phase; (b) depositing on the layer at least one second layer of compactly assembled particles; (c) impregnating the first and second layers with a light radiation-sensitive material, to form at least two compactly assembled particle layers impregnated with sensitive material; (d) insolating these layers in the regions corresponding to the desired internal shape of the chromatography analysis column, if the light radiation-sensitive material behaves like a positive resin, or outlining this internal shape if the light radiation-sensitive material behaves like a negative photosensitive resin; (e) eliminating either the regions insolated in step (d) if the light radiation-sensitive layer behaves like a positive photosensitive resin, or the regions not insolated in step (d) if the light radiation-sensitive material behaves like a negative photosensitive resin; and (f) covering and sealing the structure obtained in step (e) with a cover covered on the face facing the layers with at least one layer of compactly assembled particles which are identical to or different from those deposited on the substrate surface. The invention is used in particular in the field of chemical analysis.

Provided is a system for detecting analytes of interest present in a gas sample, including a layer of porous material, positioned at the surface of a substrate so as to extend longitudinally along a fluidic flow path of the gas sample, said porous material containing a plurality of probe molecules, each probe molecule being able to react with the analyte of interest by causing a change in the spectral properties of said probe molecule. Also included is a a pump for generating a flow of the gas sample along the fluidic path so that the gas sample comes into contact with said layer of porous material. The system also includes at least one optical detection device capable of successively detecting, at distinct detection areas of said porous material layer distributed along said fluidic path, a change in the spectral properties of at least one of said probe molecules.
