Our company has a herbal preparation which has been researched and the result published in a peer reviewed journal, " African Journal of Biotechnology". The abstract is reproduced below:

"Jubi Formula� is a herbal preparation made from three medicinal herbs . It has been reported to have been successfully used in the treatment of anaemia in humans. A study was therefore carried out to determine the effect of the preparation on packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in anaemic rabbits. The PCV and Hb concentrations of healthy rabbits infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei were monitored for 49 days. T. b. brucei produced a significant reduction in PCV and Hb concentrations in all infected rabbits when compared with the controls (p<0.05). These hematological parameters were restored to normal levels in the anaemic rabbits by the herbal preparation. The anaemic rabbits not treated with the herbal preparation presented with a progressive decline in their PCV and Hb concentrations and majority of them died before the end of the study. Healthy rabbits that received daily doses of the herbal preparation showed gradual elevation in PCV and Hb concentrations which were maintained within normal range. Jubi Formula� can restore the PCV and Hb concentrations in anaemic conditions and is a potential substitute for blood transfusion. However, further studies are needed to investigate the potentials of the herbal preparation in reversing anaemia."

Key words: Anaemia, PCV, rabbits, haemoglobin, herbal preparation.

I am involved in the development of analytical instrumentation and methods for the separation and analysis of complex natural product mixtures. Several research manuscripts are in progress including a paper on a more mathematical approach to the thermodynamics of temperature program GC. This theoretical approach has been applied to published experimental data. This theoretical approach should also be applicable to Liquid Chromatography with some modifications. Preliminary patent applications have been prepared. Even further expansion of the underlying theory continues.

I am also interested in developing applications of my patented molecular separator technology as described in a research paper entitled "The Variable Molecular Separator [ Sep.Sci. and Tech Vol 26, No.4, 1991] and related patents. The characteristics and potential applications of this separator are quite different from those of the conventional supersonic jet separator , a fact that apparently is not generally appreciated. The Variable Molecular Separator should also be a very useful tool to study the special properties of gas flow in the transition region between viscous and free molecular flow. This is an area of research that has been neglected for a long time and has particular implications for analytical instrumentation. A short Summary of potential applications has been prepared. A particularily useful area of development is direct inlet mass spectrometry and rapid vacuum exhaust chromatography. The development of the underlying theory continues.

A combined research proposal for the two separate projects in outline form has been prepared and could be made available along with the appropriate background material as described above.

Specialty Scientific Equipment Manufacturers

SES Research has specialty equipment manufacturing and low cost proof of concept proto-typing at its foundation. The early success of SES Research in the Fullerene manufacturing business is due in large part to the novel concepts and exacting standards used to design and build the Fullerene production machines.

In 1990 only a hand full of scientist were aware of the existence of Fullerenes. The design of a new process for producing macro-scopic quantities of these Fullerenes led to a boom in the research of Fullerenes. SES Research took this new process, refined and optimized the components and manufactured one of the first fullerene production machines.
