Patents
- A preservative composition for addition to a milk sample for compositional testing, and a method of screening milk samples employing it Issued June 8, 1988 Europe EP 0134798. A preservative composition having a pH-sensitive color indicator is used to treat milk samples prior to compositional testing. The color indicator is sensitive to a particular pH range related to bacterial degradation of the sample. Prior to testing, degraded samples can be isolated based on their color. See patent · Background
- Composition having neutralized differential infrared absorbency Issued April 9, 1985 United States US 4,510,072. A composition which is added to liquid samples undergoing double wavelength infrared analysis exhibits no net differential effect on the double wavelength channels. The composition is formulated by selecting one compensating component for each double wavelength channel, wherein said compensating component offsets the net differential effect exerted by the remainder of the composition.
