A kit and sterile preparation of purified corticotropin and methods relating thereto in which the preparation includes corticotropin extracted from a whole porcine pituitary gland including both anterior and posterior portions, and having proteins or peptides having a molecular weight higher than 4.6 kDa removed. Methods of manufacturing, testing, increasing stability, storage, and use of the purified corticotropin are also provided.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for pen that distributes viscous plant material, such as rosin, from a cartridge. The pen receives, from a button, input corresponding to a first control instruction. The pen has a motor configured to receive the first control instruction from the controller and, in response, drive a spindle that linearly displaces a plunger, wherein the linear displacement of the plunger causes plant material to be pushed out of a nozzle of the pen. The pen cartridge includes a rubber plug configured to be linearly displaced by the plunger to cause rosin to be disturbed from the cartridge.

A liquid storage container to heat a certain volume of liquid. The liquid storage container includes a top cover, a middle layer, and a bottom part. The connection between the top cover and the bottom part is configured to be fully detachable. The top cover has at least a partial platform. The middle layer has a stopping element and a sealing element. The stopping element and a part of the sealing element are configured to connect to the bottom part and form a seal. A part of the sealing element is further configured to come into contact with and seal against the platform of the top cover. Together, they form a chamber to accommodate a certain volume of liquid. The bottom part has a heating plate to conduct heat.

Dry thawing systems and devices for thawing biological substances are provided herein. Methods for thawing biological substances are also provided.

A system includes a warming base including a body having a top surface, a recess formed in the top surface, and an induction coil positioned within the body below the recess; a fluid container having an opening; and a lid including a lid body and a conductive heat plate positioned within the lid body, wherein the lid is configured to be removably attached to the opening to close the fluid container, wherein the lid body has a size and shape that are complementary to the recess of the warming base, so as to allow lid to mate with the recess to position the conductive heat plate a suitable distance from the induction coil such that, when a current is applied to the induction coil, a magnetic field generated by the induction coil causes the conductive heat plate to heat, thereby heating contents of the fluid container.

An apparatus, comprising an environmental control element configured to control at least one environmental condition of a substance contained within a chamber, the environmental control element includes a thermal insulator configured to provide a thermal shield to the substance and a phase change material (PCM) configured to thermally regulate at least one environmental condition. The environmental control element is configured to control the environmental condition without use of an external power source, thereby allowing the apparatus to be thermally self-recharging.

A device for dry thawing biological substances and methods for using the same are provided. The dry thawing device can be configured to receive a biological substance within a woven pocket. The woven pocket can include temperature sensors configured to measure a temperature of the interior volume and heating elements configured to heat an interior of the woven pocket 106 based upon the measured temperature to avoid overheating or underheating the biological substance during thawing. The woven pocket can also include mechanical vibrators configured to agitate the biological substance during thawing to achieve an approximately homogeneous temperature profile within the woven pocket.

A method of restoring an elastomer by providing an article containing a first elastomer and having a surface, contacting the surface with a layer conformal to the surface, and applying heat and pressure to the layer. The layer contains a second elastomer and a solute. The heat and pressure induce a transfer of the solute from the layer to the article.
