Description

This is a special notice issued by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina. WSRC wishes to determine public interest in licensing for commercial resale a new chromatography column design that includes a reusable resin-support device for use with standard laboratory glassware. Traditional chromatography columns and accessories are not compatible in size with standard lab glassware. In the new column design, the resin-supporting device provides a fluid-tight (liquid and gas) seal around the periphery of a standard glass tube to create an effective and inexpensive chromatography column. Back pressure may be applied to back flush a packed resin bed and re-establish the desired column flow rate. The column also is easily cleaned, which greatly shortens the time of preparing the column for an additional run. For more information on the new chromatography column design and licensing opportunities contact Eric M. Frickey, via telephone at (803) 725-0406 or (800) 228-3843; via Fax at (803) 725-4988; via email at eric.frickey@srs.gov; or via regular mail at Westinghouse Savannah River Company, ATTN: Eric M. Frickey, Building 773-41A, Aiken, SC 29808. Responses to this notice should be received by August 20, 2001. This is not a request for a formal subcontract; it is a request for interested parties and licensing opportunities only.
