A method and chemical delivery system and device are provided. One method includes contacting a non-aqueous hydrazine solution with a carrier gas and/or vacuum and delivering a gas stream comprising hydrazine to a critical process or application. One chemical delivery system and device includes a non-aqueous hydrazine solution having a vapor phase that is in contact with a carrier gas and/or vacuum. One device includes a chamber for containing a liquid comprising at least one volatile process chemical, such as a non-aqueous hydrazine solution, a hydrogen peroxide solution, or another suitable process chemical, and a head space from which the volatile can be drawn using a carrier gas and/or vacuum. Another method useful in the present invention involves drawing a process chemical from a device as a disclosed herein using a carrier or vacuum and delivering the process chemical to a critical process or application.

A tube unit includes multiple tubes, a bundling portion that bundles end portions of the tubes, and pipe elements that are inserted into respective end portions of the tubes and support the end portions of the tubes from inside. A degassing module includes the tube unit and a housing in which the tube unit is accommodated and that separates inside spaces inside the respective tubes from an outside space outside the tubes. In addition, each tube is a tubular membrane that allows gas to pass therethrough and prohibits liquid from passing therethrough. The housing has an inside-space opening that is in communication with the inside spaces of the tubes and an outside-space opening that is in communication with the outside space of the tubes.

A method for exosome separation and extraction by stacked centrifugal filtration. It is used in molecular biology and clinical examination and comprises an exosome separation and extraction kit consisting of the stacked centrifugal filtration device, an incubation buffer and a protease K. The sample to be tested is incubated at room temperature using the incubation buffer and an appropriate amount of protease K, followed by centrifugation in a centrifuge matching the stacked centrifugal filtration device. After mixing thoroughly, the retained liquid in the ultrafiltration tube is collected to obtain the exosomes. The method needs no large experimental equipments except for a centrifuge, which has a low cost and which is convenient and fast, with short operation time and the possibility of carrying out parallel operations with a large number of samples. The high purity exosomes obtained by the method can meet the demand of large-scale clinical applications.

An evaporative cooling system includes a porous ceramic body with a plurality of dry channels and a plurality of wet channels. The plurality of dry channels are configured to inhibit transfer of water vapor into the dry channels and include a barrier layer that includes a roughened layer with a features size less than 1000 nm and a hydrophobic chemical modification disposed on the roughened layer. The plurality of wet channels are configured to allow transfer of water vapor.

A method of treating a switchable polarity material comprises introducing a first feed stream comprising a solvent and a non-polar form of the switchable polarity material to a first side of a gas diffusion membrane. A second feed stream comprising an acid gas is introduced to a second side of the gas diffusion membrane opposing the first side of the gas diffusion membrane. Molecules of the acid gas of the second feed stream are diffused across the gas diffusion membrane and into the first feed stream to form a product stream comprising a polar form of the switchable polarity material. A treatment system for a switchable polarity material, and a method of liquid treatment are also described.

Provided are a nucleic acid extraction and purification device and a biochemical molecule extraction and purification device, belonging to the field of experimental supplies. Both devices have the functionality of a test tube, and thus can hold a liquid to perform preprocessing extraction and purification of nucleic acids or biochemical molecules such as nucleic acids, i.e. achieving a process of cell rupture. Furthermore, both devices can quickly and easily transfer liquid to the extraction membrane, achieving the extraction and purification of nucleic acids or biochemical molecules such as nucleic acids. Furthermore, the two devices do not need to manually fit with a pipettor during the process of liquid transfer or use an automated robotic arm and a mechanical pipettor to complete the process of liquid transfer.
