Anyone who followed Carly Fiorina prior to her dominating performance in Thursday's junior varsity debate was disappointed that she didn't make it into the top ten to qualify for the main stage. Fiorina has confidently, articulately, and forcefully spoken the language of conservatism for months.
But when the pundits and social media lit up over her great showing, it became obvious she was a Sturgeon in an aquarium. Perhaps she was on just the right stage at this point in her campaign; her incandescent dominance over a mini-field of soggy waffles and shoulda-beens demonstrated that she should be in the big leagues next time around.
Rather than analyze the specifics of what she said Thursday (you can find it on YouTube), let me opine about the candidate in general. Carly Fiorina is the Iron Lady of the Republican Party right now, a master of soundbites in an era where those are important, but also a master at putting conservative objectives like tax code reform, smaller government, and the imperative of a strong national defense into commonsense language that both excites the GOP base and incites thoughtful introspection.
This contrasts with some candidates who proclaim their severe conservative credentials but who deliver an equivocating agenda (God bless Mitt, but he had issues boiling down Buckleyism the way Reagan could).
As the rise of Trump shows, people are sick of the political class that says all the right things but so rarely does the right thing. Fiorina is poised to tap into the same vein of discontentment with the political class, politically correct blandness, and fear of using forceful rhetoric. Consider the irony of that: we have a GOP field seeking to command the most powerful military in the history of the world who are afraid of calling a narcissistic, serial liar a narcissist and a serial liar (that would be Hillary, to make a Huckabee-esque clarification).
Forget Trump. Fiorina from day one of her campaign has spoken real truths from a position legitimately outside the orbit of the ruling class, but in a manner worthy of what ought to be the most dignified office on the planet, Obama's degradation of that perch notwithstanding.
The trouble with conservatism is that it's an ideology fit more for William F. Buckley than Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. In other words, it's not easy to bring conservative ideas to a kitchen table, to relate it to the lives of people who don't spend their time pouring over the works of Adam Smith, Voltaire, and John Locke, and sharing tea with Milton Friedman.
Fiorina can do this because she understands conservative ideas, the world at large, and how average people will understand the benefits of Republican solutions to their lives. She roundly has earned a spot on the next big stage, where she will begin a steady rise toward the top of the pack.
At least I sure hope – a hope that's being stoked. Fox News has ramped up its advocacy for Fiorina. Other news outlets are offering praise. But more importantly, following her impressive showing in front of an audience of 6 million conservatives (though just a quarter of the main debate, still a staggering number for a primary pre-debate) social media has been blowing up over her. In Wisconsin, for example, a Facebook page "Wisconsin for Carly Fiorina" started over the past 48 hours and is garnering a considerable following, organically at that.
It's time for Republicans to follow Fiorina the way they've thus far followed Trump. Trump may be a Five Hour Energy Drink, but Carly Fiorina is an MRE.

Review of radio frequency conditioning discharges with magnetic fields in superconducting fusion reactors
Wall conditioning techniques based on radio frequency (RF) discharges in fusion devices with permanent magnetic field were developed a few years ago. The first experiments of RF plasma discharges in the ion cyclotron frequency range called ion cyclotron conditioning were performed in Tore Supra and Textor and later also in HT-7 and W7-AS. A high conditioning efficiency in terms of hydrogen removal and surface cleaning has been demonstrated. The other alternative, RF conditioning discharges in the electron cyclotron range of frequencies and called electron cyclotron conditioning, has also been studied in the recent past. Besides surface hydrogen removal and surface cleaning, RF discharges have also been applied to thin film deposition. We report in this paper the main results obtained with several fusion devices on RF conditioning discharges and present conclusions for future devices such as ITER.

"Full of growth and opportunity, but not without fault."
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
For entry level positions, their pay scale is competitive and their PFP (pay for performance) incentives are nice. They do not have huge bonuses, but the higher than normal base pay seems to compensate well. Moving into more professional positions or supervisory positions is nice as well. I have been promoted twice since arriving. The pay increase is not as much as you would hope with each subsequent level of employment in the mid range, but the upper-mid range employees do well.
The pay-grades are divided into quartiles, and those for individual contributors can have room to move up between 7 - 16 k depending on pay-grade, experience, and past performance. The majority of all advancement in the company is based in previous performance.
The metrics for PFP bonuses for agents are often truly impossible to max out. The entry-level performance review metrics look as if they skew reviews toward the middle, benefitting poorly performing employees and not helping the high-performers. The business ops department has been a pleasure to work in. Uncertainty surrounding the Lehman BK settlement leaves the future of employees uncertain. While they will likely remain in place, the uncertainty has put a strain on temperament at the moment.
Advice to Management
Re-evaluate PFP metrics and present more information about the ongoing Lehman settlement. Also, put your faces in front of the entry level employees more.
Opportunity to advance in your career,
Manaement is different at each site.
Advice to Management
Management needs to all be on the same page between all servicing centers.
I had a good boss who was flexible with my schedule and liked to share company info.
That place is a sinking ship. Upper management is dishonest and deceitful. Raises and bonuses are a joke. Most people in supervisory positions have no business being there.
Advice to Management
Treat your employees better.

We spent 2 nights in Ho Chi Minh City and knew we wanted to be down near the bars/restaurants /backpacker area and as such came across this hotel which suited us perfectly. Our room was on the 3rd floor and faced on to the busy Bui Vien street, however the double glazing was so good we hardly heard a thing and slept really well on both nights. The room was clean and the bathroom fine although the shower hose leaked. Breakfast was okay but its better if you are at breakfast when it is not too busy, as the service was a little slow. The bread rolls were lovely and you can only have one drink so we took some water up on the second day. There was a young girl on reception who was friendly and helpful and recommended a good place to get some Pho (noodle soup) which was a few minutes walk around the corner - we tried it and it was excellent and really cheap. If you are looking for somewhere right in the middle of things at a reasonable price then I would recommend this hotel. 7/11 just across the road too which was handy.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Highly convenient and accessible, SAIGON MINI HOTEL 5 is centrally located in the heart of the backpacker area on BUI VIEN Street. The location offers varied choices of eateries and shops, as well as various sightseeing offices and departure points for out-of-town tours and short trips, all within walking distance (some are just across the street). So, there are plenty of choices even late into the night. Also, the famous Ben Thanh market (around 15 minutes walking) and other well-known places of interest are all easily accessible. ... more less

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with HostelWorld, TripOnline SA and Cancelon so you can book your Saigon Mini Hotel 5 reservations with confidence.

Bosemanni Rainbow Question - Bob
Posted By: JBall <email@example.com>
Date: Wednesday, 28 August 2002, at 4:36 p.m.
I looking for some help. I noticed Bob had Bosemanni Rainbows in a tank with his loaches (great pics by the way). I have six Clowns from 3" to 7" in an 80 gal. With them are two rainbows that have live with the loaches for three years. (tried to take them out once, loaches refused to come out of hiding and eat, put them back all is ok).
To get to my question, I have notice the rainbows' fins are all frayed and looking unhealthy the last week. I added 3 silver dollars two weeks ago. At first I thought they were the culprit but have not seen any evidence of them even chasing the rainbows. Last night I watched intently and notice the Rainbows got dark black for abo

Luxembourg National Day: 23 June
Rather like New Year's Eve, Luxembourg's National Day party is held the night before (22 June). A traditional torchlight parade takes place after sunset in Luxembourg City's centre, while spectacular fireworks are set off from the bridge over Petrusse Valley.
This public holiday is also known as Grand Duke Day, since it is the birthday of Jean (b. 1921), the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who succeeded his mother, the Grand Duchess Charlotte, in 1964. It is also the day on which the country celebrates its independence.
On the eve of the national holiday, Dudelange hosts a torchlight procession, and the castle at Wiltz hosts a fete in the courtyard. In Esch-sur-Alzette, there are athletic competitions and other festivities. Fireworks, parades, special religious services, public concerts, and dancing comprise the elaborate celebration in the capital city of Luxembourg.
Crowds stake out viewing spots anywhere in the city centre, in the valley, or near the bridge for the National Day celebrations. After the fireworks, the city of Luxembourg City holds a massive party with waffles, sausages, beer, music, and dancing in the streets. Bands perform until late in Luxembourg's two main squares, the Knuedler (Place Guillaume) and the Place d'Armes.

- Life Cycle Assessment Tools is a catalog of tools for life cycle data management
and analysis.
- USDA Life Cycle Assessment Commons Inventory Data is a collection of unit processes, formatted for use in LCA software.
- Case Studies and Supporting Data provides access to supporting data that are not formatted for use in LCA software.
Life Cycle Assessment
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) collection is a catalog and archive of data, tools, and resources that support LCA for agriculture and related areas of research. It is complementary to the USDA LCA Commons Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database, and provides access to a wider range LCA data and tools.
Life Cycle Assessment (also known as life cycle analysis, or cradle-to-grave analysis) is a method of assessing environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life. For example, it measures impact from raw material extraction to materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling. The goal of LCA is to compare the full range of environmental effects assignable to products and services by quantifying all inputs and outputs of material flows, and then assessing how these material flows impact the environment. This information is used to improve processes, support policy, and provide a sound basis for informed decisions.
Browse Life Cycle Assessment Resources
Data from: Greenhouse gas emissions from milk production and consumption in the United States: A cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment circa 2008
This carbon footprint study for fluid milk was commissioned in order to identify where the industry can innovate to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the supply chain.
Unit process data for Rapeseed production in the U.S. wheat belt
Unit processes represent wheat-wheat-fallow and wheat-wheat-rapeseed crop production simulations that illustrate using the IPCC (Tier 1) method for calculating changes in soil C and the roundtable on sustainable biomaterials (RSB) method for estimating N2O emissions in different locations for the use in modeling the crop production portion of the HRJ lifecycle. Data are archived in a SimaPro .csv file, which can be imported into various life cycle assessment modeling tools.
Soil erosion and organic matter for central Great Plains cropping systems under residue removal
LCA Domain Metadata Schema Inventory
This excel workbook is a compilation of the major metadata schemas for life cycle assessment.
Unit process data for field crop production version 2
The goals for the release of Version 2 of the field crop data are to rework the data to link up with the tier 2 field operations/ work process datasets, eliminate the use of service processes, and rework balance parameters using a simpler formula. Models represent states that produced field crops in the ARMS survey years included.
Unit process data for field crop production version 1.1
Unit process data for field operations: work processes and farm implements version 1
This document describes the preparation of datasets for the LCA Commons that represent unit process/ gate-to-gate operations for field operations (a.k.a. work processes e.g., soil preparation and planting for conventional tillage, applying fertilizer with incorporation) and farm implements (e.g., operation of moldboard plows, broadcast sprayers) used in the production of field crops. The data cover 49 types of field operations and 104 types of farm implements for 9 crops in 36 U.S. states, resulting in the development of almost 19,000 unit process datasets. The field operation and farm implement datasets described herein fall between the field crop production and the aggregated fleet equipment datasets already in the Commons.
Unit process data for agricultural self-propelled equipment version 1
This document describes the preparation of datasets for the LCA Digital Commons that represent unit process/ gate-to-gate operations for the production of work (in MJ) by agricultural self-propelled equipment and fleets of agricultural self-propelled equipment. The data cover 19 types of fleets and over 200 types of self-propelled equipment datasets, representing the potential to prepare thousands of unit-process datasets by varying the operating and model years, applicable power ranges, and operating temperatures.
Unit process data for field crop production version 1
These unit process models represent crop production in US states in multiple years. The main data source used for the development of the field crop data described here is the annual USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). ARMS data are from an annual national survey of field-level farm practices sponsored jointly by USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) and the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). These datasets were released in ecospold version 1 in June 2012.
Unit process data for distributed renewable syngas production
This unit process represents the generation of two co-products from forest or wood product mill operation residues using the Tucker Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Thermochemical conversion process. The two co-products are a synthesis gas (syngas) and biochar (a form of charcoal made from woody biomass via pyrolysis, used as a soil amendment, and under investigation as an approach to carbon sequestration to produce negative carbon dioxide emissions). Data for this process were collected in St. Regis, Montana and Locust, NC, where the Tucker RNG conversion process has been tested and demonstrated.

This application claims Paris Convention priority of Japanese Application Nos. 2000-142730 filed May 16, 2000 and 2000-142732 filed May 16, 2000, the complete disclosure of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to a device for collecting plasma or serum from blood vessel directly by drawing and filtering blood continuously.
Kind or concentration of blood components, such as metabolites, proteins, lipids, electrolytes, enzymes, antigens, and antibodies, is measured, in general, using a plasma or serum sample obtained by centrifuging whole blood. However, centrifuging takes labor and time. Particularly, centrifuging is unsuitable for an urgent case of measuring a small number of samples promptly and on site inspection, because of requiring a centrifuge and electricity. Thereupon, it has been investigated to separate plasma or serum from whole blood by filtration.
Several filtration methods using glass fiber filter have been known wherein whole blood is charged into glass fiber filter contained in a column from one side of the column and pressurized or sucked to obtain plasma or serum from the other side (Japanese Patent KOKOKU Nos. 44-14673, 5-52463, Japanese Patent KOKAI Nos. 2-208565, 4-208856).
However, practical filtration methods capable of obtaining an amount of plasma or serum from whole blood necessary for measuring by an automatic analyzer have not been developed except a part of items, such as blood sugar.
On the other hand, inventors belonging to the assignee of this application have developed a plasma or serum filtering unit comprising a filter element containing a combination of glass fiber filter and porous membrane and a baffle narrowing aperture of the filter element at an exit of a filtrate passage, with which plasma or serum can be separated effectively even from a small quantity of whole blood (U.S. Pat. No. 5,979,669).
Further, these inventors have developed a blood-filtering unit comprising a injection needle for drawing blood at an inlet of the blood-filtering unit and a filtrate receiver connected to an exit of a filtrate passage (U.S. Pat. No. 5,996,811).
But the unit was unsatisfactory for practical use in terms of uneasy operation or handling, since it required a sucking adaptor or syringe connected with the blood-filtering unit to collect and filter blood instantaneously.
Further, a device comprising a vacuum blood-drawing tube containing a injection needle at a front edge of it and accommodating a blood-filtering unit in it, a vacuum tube to suck in filtered serum or plasma, and a part with two injection needles connecting the vacuum blood-drawing tube and the vacuum tube has been developed to separate serum or plasma from whole blood (Japanese Patent KOKAI Nos. 4-208856, 5-93721, 5-188053).
But operation of this device is troublesome too. Because three injection needles contained in the device must be stung in correct order to connect four parts of the device.
An object of the invention is to provide a device with a simple structure capable of filtering blood to obtain plasma or serum for analysis.
The present inventors found out that the aforementioned problems are solved by one of plasma- or serum-collecting devices described bellow.
In a first embodiment, the shape of the device is adapted to a test tube. In this case, the well-balanced plasma- or serum-collecting device as a whole is obtained by utilizing an external suction equipment to draw and filter blood.
In a second embodiment, a blood-filtering unit is accommodated in a vacuum blood-drawing tube that comprises a partition wall between the blood-filtering unit and the bottom of the vacuum blood-drawing tube to build a vacuum room. In this case, a necessary volume of plasma or serum can be readily obtained by breaking the partition wall after blood to be filtered is drawn into the vacuum blood-drawing tube, since the blood is filtered with the blood-filtering unit by vacuum of the vacuum room.
FIG. 1 shows the vertical section of various blood-filtering unit usable in this invention.
FIG. 2 exemplifies the vertical section of an plasma- or serum-collecting device in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows various partial sections of the blood-filtering unit usable in this invention.
FIG. 4 exemplifies the vertical section of another plasma- or serum-collecting device in accordance with the present invention.
At first, the basic construction of the blood-filtering unit usable in the present invention will be described.
The blood-filtering unit comprises blood-filtering material and a holder provided with a blood inlet and a filtrate outlet, which accommodates the blood-filtering material.
There is no restriction of the blood-filtering material used in the invention, but it is preferable to use such material which catches to remove blood cells gradually by entangling at first large blood cell components and then smaller blood cell components in the space structure with permeating in the thickness direction in total of the filtering material, called the volumetric filtration, instead of material which trap blood cells only by the surface. Preferably glass fiber filter is used, and combination of glass fiber filter and a microporous membrane is the most preferably used.
The glass fiber filter has a density of about 0.02 to 0.5 g/cm3, preferably about 0.03 to 0.2 g/cm3, more preferably about 0.05 to 0.13 g/cm3, and a retainable particle size of about 0.6 to 9 μm, preferably 1 to 5 μm. By treating the surface of glass fiber with hydrophilic polymer as disclosed in Japanese Patent KOKAI Nos. 2-208565, 4-208856, filtration proceeds faster and smoothly. Lectin or other reactive reagent or modifier may be incorporated into the glass fiber, or the glass fiber may be treated therewith. Two or more sheets of the glass fiber filter may be stacked.
Microporous membranes with surface being made hydrophilic and is capable of separating blood cell from whole blood separate whole blood into blood cells and plasma specifically without hemolysis to the degree of substantially influencing analytical values. A suitable pore size of the microporous membrane is smaller than the retainable particle size of glass fiber filter but is 0.2 μm or more, preferably about 0.3 to 5 μm, more preferably about 0.5 to 3 μm. A higher void content of the microporous membrane is preferable, and a suitable void content is about 40 to 95%, preferably about 50 to 95%, more preferably about 70 to 95%. Illustrative of the microporous membranes are polysulfone membrane, fluorine-containing polymer membrane, cellulose acetate membranes, nitrocellulose membrane, etc. The preferable microporous membranes are polysulfone membrane or cellulose acetate membranes. And polysulfone membrane is the most preferable. The blood-filtering material used in the present invention comprises a build-up of the glass fiber filter opposed to the blood inlet and the microporous membrane opposed to the filtrate outlet. The most preferable build-up is composed of the glass fiber filter and polysulfone membrane. The build-up may be integrated by joining each layer using partially disposed (e.g. spots) adhesive, according to disclosures in Japanese Patent KOKAI Nos. 62-138756-8, 2-105043, 3-16651, etc.
Suitable thickness of the glass fiber filter is about 1 to 10 mm, preferably about 2 to 8 mm. The above mentioned thickness can be achieved by superposing 2 to 10 sheets, preferably 3 to 8 sheets, of the glass fiber filter. Further, the glass fiber filter may be utilized in a cylinder or a roll.
Suitable thickness of the microporous membrane is about 0.05 to 0.5 mm, preferably about 0.1 to 0.3 mm. Though necessary microporous membrane is usually one sheet, two or more sheets may be used in laminate.
The holder accommodates the blood-filtering material, and is provided with the blood inlet and the filtrate outlet. The holder is, in general, formed of a filter chamber accommodating the blood-filtering material and a cap. Both of the filter chamber and the cap have at least one aperture, respectively. One is used as the blood inlet, and the other is used as the filtrate outlet or, further in some cases, as a suction port. The suction port may be provided apart from the filtrate outlet. If the holder is of rectangular prism having the cap on one side of it, both of the blood inlet and the filtrate outlet may be formed on the filter chamber.
The volume of the filter chamber is necessary to be greater than the total volume of the blood-filtering material both in a dry state and in a swelled state upon sucking a sample (i.e. whole blood). When the volume of the filter chamber is smaller than the total volume of the blood-filtering material, filtration does not proceed efficiently and hemolysis occurs. A suitable ratio of the volume of the filter chamber to the total volume of the blood-filtering material in a dry state is, in general, about 101 to 400%, preferably about 110 to 150%, more preferably about 120 to 140%, although the ratio varies according to the swelling degree of the filtering material. A practical volume of it is determined considering the desired volume of filtered plasma or serum, and is about 0.5 to 2.5 ml, typically about 0.6 to 2.2 ml.
Besides, it is necessary that the periphery of the blood-filtering material is closely fitted to the wall of the filter chamber so as not to form a bypass of whole blood without passing the blood-filtering material. But no trouble occurs if whole blood passing through the bypass is in so small volume that it is cut off by the microporous membrane.
As a means for prevent the generation of the bypass, usage of the sealant described in Japanese Patent KOKOKU No. 9-19691 is cited as an example.
The blood-filtering unit used in the present invention is made into a closed structure after attaching the cap to the chamber except the blood inlet and the filtrate outlet, which is also used as a suction port.
The holder is preferably made of plastics. Such transparent or opaque resins as polymethacrylates, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, nylon or polycarbonates may be used.
The cap may be fitted to the filter chamber with various means, such as adhesion using adhesive or fusion welding. On that occasion, either periphery of the holder body or of the cap is located on the inside, or both peripheries are butted. It may be detachably composed utilizing screws or the like.
Next, we describe about the plasma- or serum-collecting device according to the present invention utilizing the above-mentioned blood-filtering unit.
In the first embodiment of the plasma- or serum-collecting device, the shape of the blood-filtering unit is longer than is wide adjusted to the shape of a test tube. Ratio of length: breadth is about 1:1 to 20:1, preferably 3:1 to 6:1.
The shape of the cross section of the blood-filtering unit is not restricted, but is preferably of circle. An example of the blood-filtering unit that is longer than is wide may be provided using a stack of glass fiber filter having low density. In this case preferable density is about 0.03 to 0.3 g/cm3. Arranging the blood-filtering material in a flat plate, a cylinder or a roll, provides other examples. In this case, blood is sucked in the direction parallel to the section of the flat plate, the cylinder or the roll. Arranging blood-filtering units in multistage provides a more example.
The test tube accommodates the blood-filtering unit may be a usual test tube or a vacuum blood-drawing tube. The unit may be fixed in the tube or simply thrown in the tube. Inside of the tube may be kept at atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure. To keep the inside of the tube at reduced pressure, the opening of the tube is sealed with a cap, a sealant etc.
With the first plasma- or serum-collecting device, a necessary volume of plasma or serum can be obtained by sucking the blood sample poured into the test tube from the suction port of the blood-filtering device.
FIGS. 1(a), (b) and (c) show examples of the blood-filtering unit 2 usable for the first embodiment of the present invention.
The blood-filtering unit 2 shown in FIG. 1(a) comprises a cylindrical holder 21 accommodating a cylindrical blood-filtering material 22. The blood-filtering material comprises a stack of polysulfone membrane 222 and glass fiber filter 221, which is wound around a hollow shaft having a lot of large apertures, contacting the polysulfone membrane with the hollow shaft. The lower end of the hollow shaft 23 is sealed with a circular plate 24. A suction port 25, which also acts as filtrate outlet, is provided at the top of the holder 2, while blood inlet 26 is provided at the bottom of the holder 21. Space is provided under and around the blood-filtering material 22, through which blood reaches the blood-filtering material 22. Then the blood passes through the blood-filtering material 22 to provide filtered plasma or serum, which enters into the hollow shaft 23 through apertures of the hollow shaft 23 and goes out of the blood-filtering unit 2 through the filtrate outlet 25.
The blood-filtering unit shown in FIG. 1(b) comprises a holder 21 accommodating a blood-filtering material 22 composed of glass fiber filter 221 and polysulfone membrane 222, which is set at the top of the blood-filtering material 22. A ring 27 is provided around the inside of the bottom of the holder 21 supporting the glass fiber filter 221 to produce some space under the glass fiber filter 221. At the same time downward projections 28 are provided at the top of the holder 21 to produce some space above the polysulfone membrane 222.
The blood-filtering unit shown in FIG. 1(c) comprises a holder 21 accommodating holding fixtures 29 in the shape of a reversed dish containing the blood-filtering material 22. Holding fixtures 29 are connected with the hollow shaft 23 in multistage. The blood-filtering material 22 is composed of the uppermost polysulfone membrane 222 and the subjacent glass fiber filter 221. The inferior margin of holding fixtures 29 are folded inward to oxter the inferior margin of the glass fiber filter 221. Downward projections 28 are provided at the top of the holding fixture 29 to keep down the polysulfone membrane 222 and produce some space above it. Several apertures 30 are made in the wall of the hollow shaft 23 at regions corresponding to the aforementioned space to communicate the hollow shaft to the space. The blood flows into the holder 21 through the blood inlet 26, and then is filtered during passing through each blood-filtering material 22 contained in each holding fixture 29. Thus filtered plasma or serum flows into the hollow shaft 23 through the aforementioned space of each holding fixture 29 and the corresponding aperture 30, and then flows out of the blood-filtering unit through the filtrate outlet 25.
Then, the second embodiment of the plasma- or serum-collecting device in accordance with present invention will be explained.
In the second embodiment, the blood-filtering unit is accommodated in the vacuum blood-drawing tube, wherein some space is provided above the blood inlet of the blood-filtering unit for storing blood to be filtered, and a partition wall is provided under the filtrate outlet of the unit to keep a backspace in vacuum. The blood-filtering unit is provided with an attachment (e.g. a communicating needle) to break the partition wall.
The structure of the vacuum blood-drawing tube itself may be same as that of commercially available, though the vacuum backspace may be constructed as a independent and detachable part. Material of the vacuum blood-drawing tube is selected from such plastics as polystyrene, polyesters, polymethacrylates, polypropylene, nylon and polycarbonates, or glass. The opening is sealed with the cap to keep the inside of the vacuum blood-drawing tube at reduced pressure of about 50 to 600 mmHg. Areas breakable by the communicating needle are provided at the center of the cap and on the bottom of the vacuum blood-drawing tube, respectively.
The space accommodating blood to be filtered may be about 0.1 to 20 ml, preferably about 1 to 10 ml.
The blood-filtering material is usually of a disc or a dish same as, or a little smaller than and similar figure to, the cross section of the holder cut in perpendicular to its axis.
In the second embodiment of the plasma- or serum-collecting device, a stack of the blood-filtering material and the microporous membrane may be closely fitted to the wall of the vacuum blood-drawing tube directly. In this case, the holder of the blood-filtering unit is unnecessary and only installation of the attachment for breaking the partition wall is necessary for the purpose of the present invention.
However, erythrocyte is apt to leak through a potential bypass between the periphery of the blood-filtering material and the wall of the vacuum blood-drawing tube or the holder if the blood-filtering material is used by itself, so usually some reinforcing means is required. For example, the periphery may be impregnated with resin, but combined use of such a supporting component as a frame is more preferable.
The basic shape of the frame is a ring that is composed of a round bar, a square bar or a plate. The cross section of them may be circular, elliptical, quadrangular, trapezium, etc. The corner of them contacting the blood-filtering material would preferably be rounded. The ring may be discontinuous provided that no leakage of erythrocyte occurs. It is also preferable to provide a determent in the inside of the ring supporting the lower surface of the microporous membrane to prevent potential deformation or dropout by suction during filtration of blood. The determent preferably may be composed in a gridiron, a radial pattern, or of a net, a board with perforations having a wide aperture as a whole, or projections.
The frame may be either contacted or not contacted with the blood-filtering material. However, the frame is preferably contacted with the blood-filtering material around the rim of the blood-filtering material.
Examples of frames contacted with the blood-filtering material will be explained first.
From (a) to (d) of FIG. 3 show schematically the frame contacting with the blood-filtering material. The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(a) is composed of a ring of a round bar, which pushes the rim of the blood-filtering material 7. The blood-filtering material is composed of plural glass fiber filters 71 and a sheet of microporous membrane 72. Both of the diameters of the uppermost glass fiber filter 71 and the microporous membrane 72 are designed to be larger than the internal diameter of the holder (not shown). Thus, rims of the blood-filtering material and the microporous membrane are folded downward and stuck fast to the inner wall of the holder.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(b) is composed of a ring of a flat board. Peripheries of the undermost glass fiber filter 71 of the blood-filtering material 7 and the microporous membrane 72, having larger diameters than the internal diameter of the holder, are also folded downward, while a upper glass fiber filter 71 is partially adhered to the undermost glass fiber filter.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(c) is composed of a ring having cross-section of L-shape. The internal aperture of the ring is provided with the supporting component 13 of a cross-shape.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(d) is composed of a dish having several holes 11 with large aperture in the bottom. The supporting component of upward projections 13 is provided on the bottom of the dish.
Then examples of frames not contacted with the blood-filtering material will be explained.
In this case, the frame comprises a segment sticking fast to the inner wall of the holder to prevent leakage of erythrocyte and another segment supporting the blood-filtering material. The frame is constructed to prevent leakage of erythrocyte through a void between the blood-filtering material and the frame. Sealing structure may be preferably provided on the surface of the frame sticking fast to the internal wall of the holder, i.e. on the external surface of the frame. One embodiment of the sealing structure may comprise at least one O-ring embedded into a dent grooved around the external surface of the frame. In other embodiment, the frame is made of an elastic material having an integrally molded protrusion around the external surface, which acts as the sealing structure by itself. The blood-filtering material is supported by oxtering, grasping, or adhering the periphery of the material. When there is the possibility of leakage of erythrocyte through a void between the frame and the blood-filtering material, the void may be filled with sealant or the blood-filtering material may be adhered to the frame with adhesive. However, the most concise procedure is to cut the blood-filtering material so as not to generate the void.
From (e) to (g) of FIG. 3 schematically show frames not contacting with the blood-filtering material.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(e) is composed of a ring of a channel staff, oxtering the blood-filtering material between its flanges. O-rings 14 are embedded in two grooves engraved around the external surface of the frame.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(f) is composed of a ring having cross-section of L-shape. Several claws 12 project inward from the top of the frame to hold down the blood-filtering material. Two ribs 15 are provided around the external surface of the frame, which act as sealants between the internal wall of the holder. Further, the supporting component 13 of a cross-shape is provided at the bottom of the frame 8.
The frame 8 shown in FIG. 3(g) comprises a ring having cross-section of L-shape and a dish connected to the inside of the ring. No ribs are provided around the external surface of the ring. Several holes 11 with large aperture are perforated in the bottom of the dish, while several projections 13 are formed upward from the bottom of the dish to support the blood-filtering material.
The frame is preferably made of materials that don't have any effect on blood and have rather high mechanical strength. Metals such as stainless steel or aluminum, plastics such as fluorocarbon resin, nylon, polyethylene, polystyrene or polypropylene may be preferable.
The present invention is described in more detail by referring to the following examples.
FIG. 2 shows an example of the first plasma- or serum-collecting device in accordance with the present invention. This plasma- or serum-collecting device comprises the blood-filtering unit 2 accommodated in the test tube 1, wherein the upper side of the test tube is sealed with the sealant 3. The inside of the test tube is depressurized.
FIG. 4 shows an example of the second plasma- or serum-collecting device in accordance with the present invention.
This plasma- or serum-collecting device comprises the blood-filtering unit 2 accommodated in the vacuum blood-drawing tube 100. The vacuum blood-drawing tube 100 is provided with the cap 105 having the area 106 breakable by a communicating needle of a blood-drawing unit (not shown), the area 131 at the bottom breakable by another communicating needle (not shown), and the partition wall 103 supported by the frame 104. The blood-filtering unit 2 comprises the frame 107 containing the glass fiber filter 171 and the microporous polysulfone membrane 172. The frame 104 is provided with the communicating needle 110 and projections 109 to produce a space under the microporous polysulfone membrane 172. The periphery 108 of the frame 107 is closely contacted with the inside wall of the vacuum blood-drawing tube 100 to prevent the generation of a bypass. The backspace 130 is provided under the partition wall 103. Inside of the backspace 130 is also kept at a decreased pressure to suck and filter the blood collected in the space above the blood-filtering unit 2 when the communicating needle 110 breaks the partition wall 103.
