The Jafron series of sorbent cartridges provides a comprehensive array of coated, highly biocompatible sorbent beads made of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. Such beads carry a mean diameter of 0.8 mm with a range from 0.60 to 1.18 mm. The maximal pore size of these coated beads and the volume of the cartridge vary according to the type of cartridge ranging between 50 Da and 60 kDa. The sorbents, the size of the cartridge, the volume of sorbent, and the pore size (which reaches 60 kDa with the HA330 cartridge) aim to take advantage of the principles of molecular adsorption in a variety of diseases from uremic toxin retention to poisoning and drug overdose, from kidney disease to liver failure, from acute respiratory distress syndrome to sepsis, from toxic skin injury to COVID-19. The preliminary data from ex vivo studies, animal investigations, and human pilot work look promising and justify a program of systematic investigation of these products to advance our understanding of how they may be incorporated into our therapeutic arsenal.

To address the limitations of polymeric membranes, mixed matrix membranes for CO separation from biogas mixtures (CO and CH) have been investigated utilizing various fillers. In this study, we investigated novel MMMs using 3D and 2D indium-based MOFs, MIL-68(In)-NH and In(aip), in a polysulfone polymer matrix. To confirm synthesis, both fillers were subjected to XRD and FTIR analysis, as well as FESEM characterization to assess their 2D and 3D structures.

Nano-microplastics and 17β-E2 have been frequently detected as emerging high-concern pollutants in aquatic systems, and their interaction at the solid/liquid interface has become a research focus in environmental studies. The interfacial sorption kinetics and equilibrium characteristics of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) on nano-polystyrene (Nano-PS) with different particle sizes and organic functional group modifications were systematically investigated in aqueous environments in this study. The interfacial interaction mechanism between Nano-PS particles and 17β-E2 was elucidated by utilizing SEM, FTIR, XPS and BET techniques.

Solar-driven desalination technology is currently an important way to obtain freshwater resources. Significantly, porous materials are used as substrate materials of interface solar evaporator, and their specific impact of water transport property and thermal management during evaporation is worth exploring. In this paper, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) sponges were prepared by a chemical foaming method, adjusted the PVA polymerization degree, and formaldehyde-hydroxyl ratio to regulate the pore size, and polypyrrole (PPy) was grown in situ on the surface skeleton of PVA sponge to construct a new interfacial solar evaporator (PPy/PVA) with different pore structures.

Charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) is an emerging single-particle technique where both the / and charge are measured individually to determine each ion's mass. It is particularly well-suited for analyzing high mass and heterogeneous samples. With conventional MS, the loss of charge state resolution with high mass samples has hindered the direct coupling of MS to separation techniques like size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and forced the use of lower resolution detectors.

To ensure high quality of food and water, the identification of traces of pathogens is mandatory. Rapid nucleic acid-based tests shorten traditional detection times while maintaining low detection limits. Challenging is the loss of nucleic acids during necessary purification processes, since elution off solid surfaces is not efficient.
