Latest Patents
One of Klupsch's latest patents is a device and method for monitoring crystallization. This invention outlines a method for crystallizing a substance dissolved in a solvent. The process includes introducing a solvent volume containing the substance into a chamber with preset temperature, humidity, and gas composition. It also involves adding a predetermined volume of a precipitant, allowing the solvent to evaporate while observing structural changes through dynamic light scattering, and detecting weight changes to determine molarities. The method aims to facilitate the formation of crystal nuclei and maintain a metastable state to produce crystals of a predetermined size.
Another significant patent is a device for measuring quantities of heat while simultaneously measuring the evaporation and condensation kinetics of minute amounts of liquid. This invention focuses on determining low thermal outputs absorbed or released by the sample. It features a measuring chamber with constant temperature and humidity, equipped with thermal sensors to measure thermal radiation emitted from the liquid. A computer is integrated to register, display, evaluate, and process the measured values.
