摘要:
An apparatus for sterilization comprises a treatment chamber (1) with constant temperature control (3, 4, 5) connected to a source of vacuum (6, 7, 8, 9), and to a circuit for admitting a carrier gas comprising a means (10) for sterilizing a gas and a means (14) for heating the gas at constant temperature as well as a steam generator (16) connected to a water supply (19) and to a system (20) for controlling the temperature and/or pressure (20). In addition, a sterilizing gas generator (21) contains a solution of a sterilizing agent (22) and is equipped with means for heating and/or cooling and for temperature control (24, 25, 26, 27). Also, suitable means (33) for circulating the atmosphere in the chamber (1) in contact with the solution (22) are provided.
摘要:
A sterilization method comprising subjecting a sterilization chamber to an initial vacuum and then introducing steam to increase chamber pressure. The introduction of steam is interrupted and the chamber is brought into communication with a solution in a gaseous sterilant generator. The mixture of gaseous sterilant and chamber atmosphere are continuously circulated whereby equilibrium is established and the material to be sterilized is subject to constant temperature, pressure, sterilant concentration, and relative humidity for a period of time sufficient for sterilization. Also disclosed is an apparatus capable of performing the sterilization method comprising a sterilization chamber in combination with a gaseous sterilant generator. Formaldehyde is the preferred sterilizing agent.
摘要:
Process for the preparation of submicroscopic particles formed of a polymerized alkyl cyanoacrylate and containing a biologically active substance.At least one alkyl cyanoacrylate, in which the term "alkyl" denotes an alkyl radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, is added, with stirring, to pure water or to an aqueous solution or aqueous colloidal solution of an acid and/or of another water-soluble substance, and the stirring is continued until substantially all the alkyl cyanoacrylate has been converted to submicroscopic particles formed of polyalkyl cyanoacrylate; a biologically active substance is introduced into the reaction medium before the introduction of the monomer or after formation of the submicroscopic particles.The submicroscopic particles are useful as carriers for substances such as medical substances or products for diagnosis.
摘要:
Biodegradable particles, with a diameter smaller than 500 nanometers, formed by the micellar polymerization of an alkyl-cyano-acrylate where the term "alkyl" means a lower alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and containing a biologically active substance. Also provided are processes for making pharmaceutical compositions containing the biodegradable particles and using the particles in pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications.
