A surface-modified filter membrane for filtering blood, in particular for separating blood plasma and blood serum, and a method for the production thereof, a filter provided therewith and the use thereof.

Modified filter membrane and the use thereof

The present invention relates to a method for filtering blood to produce plasma or serum and to a blood filter for the production of plasma or serum from a blood sample. The invention further relates to a kit comprising a blood filter for the production of plasma or serum from a blood sample and a syringe.

Method for filtering blood to produce plasma or serum

The invention relates to means and methods for the disinfection of an insertion channel to prevent in particular catheter sepsis, which significantly reduces the carry-over of germs even out of deeper skin layers by means of medical instruments, such as catheters, to be introduced into non-natural openings and also permits the decontamination of perioperatively contaminated medical instruments. The disinfection of the insertion channel is achieved by means of a method for the perioperative coating of a medical instrument to be inserted into an invasively produced bodily opening before use, comprising the application of a preferably viscous or foam-like composition containing at least one anti-infective compound, preferably a gel having octenidine, by means of an applicator, such that when said gel is used, the composition is also specifically effective in the first millimeters of the insertion channel. Furthermore, an immediate disinfecting action is provided over the entire coated surface.

Method and applicator for the perioperative disinfection of medical instruments to be inserted through non-natural openings

The present invention relates to a method of producing a solid coated carrier carrying biological material. Furthermore, the invention relates to a solid coated carrier to which biological material is attached and uses of the solid coated carrier for the preparation of a medical product. Moreover, the invention provides a method for the contacting, filtration or cleaning of blood, lymph or liquor cerebrospinalis of a patient, a method for the diagnosis of a disease and a diagnostic composition.

Biocompatible three dimensional matrix for the immobilization of biological substances

The present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising (a) at least three different amino acids, (b) at least two different amino acids and a saponin or (c) at least one dipeptide or tripeptide for stabilizing biomolecules immobilized on a solid carrier. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing stabilized biomolecules, comprising embedding the biomolecules in the composition according to the invention and a method of producing a solid carrier having biomolecules attached thereto. The invention furthermore relates to a solid carrier producible or produced by the method of the invention and a method of diagnosing a disease using the carrier of the invention.
