DIANT’s game changing approach to the continuous processing of nanoparticles has become the industry’s benchmark. Featuring patented turbulent jet technology, the DIANT® LARU Discovery enables lowest volume research test runs for multi-mode specification and optimization of nanoparticle processing
MANCHESTER, Conn., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DIANT Pharma Inc. is well known for their continuous nanoparticle and LNP processing systems, which range from R&D to commercial scale with the highest yield and state-of-the-art process controls. These novel and linear scalable processing systems find wide use within the industry and regulators alike, in multiple key applications.
Addressing the needs of research applications, DIANT has introduced the LARU Discovery, a low-volume system tailored for the research requirements of both industry and academia.
“In close collaboration with our customers, understanding their evolving needs, we identified the necessity to downscale our research unit, LARU, to a smaller volume level while maintaining scalability across our extensive product line,” explains Dr. Antonio Costa, CEO of DIANT Pharma Inc. “Our innovation efforts have given rise to the LARU Discovery, a low-volume processing system. It incorporates the same highly efficient and precise turbulent mixing technology but at a reduced flow rate and hold-up volume. The positive feedback from our customers and stakeholders indicates that we have effectively met their demands once again.”
The DIANT LARU Discovery system is compact with a low footprint need, can be utilized at minimum collection volumes and has the flexibility to process and test multiple fluid and mixing modalities. It is ideal to run feasibility studies and determine the optimal fluid and operating parameter compositions at lowest hold-up volumes. The LARU Discovery is fully scalable to DIANT’s large volume processing system like the CGMP compliant LiFT system.
“We’ve been proud to support this DonorsChoose back-to-school match for over a decade. Bob Hughes, K-12 Director at the Gates Foundation said. “Teachers play such a critical role, and we’re glad to help attract new donors and help drive support for classroom needs.”
At the start of the 2023-24 school year, educator requests for supplies on DonorsChoose more than doubled, indicating how often teachers shoulder the financial burden of supporting their students’ education. In fact, based on a 2024 survey by DonorsChoose, teachers report spending an average of $610 of their own money in the school year on supplies for their students and classrooms. Out-of-pocket spending is even more for teachers of color and teachers at schools serving majorities of both students of color and students from low-income communities.
“The Gates Foundation has been an unwavering champion for public school classrooms across the U.S.,” said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose. “Through this initiative, students and teachers will continue to feel the public’s support as they kick off a new school year.”
ABOUT DONORSCHOOSE DonorsChoose is the leading way to give to public schools. Since 2000, 6 million people and partners have contributed $1.6 billion to support over nearly 3 million teacher requests for learning resources and experiences. As the most trusted crowdfunding platform for teachers, donors, and district administrators alike, DonorsChoose vets each request, ships the funded resources directly to the teacher, and provides thank yous and reporting to donors and school leaders. Charity Navigator and GuideStar have awarded DonorsChoose, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, their highest ratings for transparency and accountability. For more information, visit http://www.donorschoose.org.
Milam & Greene Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon is named for the large ground-dwelling bird native to the arid deserts and scrublands of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Roadrunners would rather run and walk than fly and are distinguished by their long tail which aids in balance and acts like a rudder when running. These amazing birds run as soon as three weeks after hatching and can eventually sprint up to 17 miles per hour.
“Roadrunners hang out during the warm summer months patrolling the grounds at our distillery in Blanco for small snakes and lizards,” said Milam & Greene Whiskey distillery manager, Rikk Munroe. “We’ve affectionately named our favorite bird of the bunch ‘Meep Meep’ as she loves to show off her blazing speed for visitors like the roadrunner in the famous cartoon. We recommend that wily whiskey lovers mark their calendars for a wild chase because we expect this release to sell out as fast as ‘Meep Meep’ races around the distillery grounds.”
The Wildlife Collection: Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon
This limited cask-strength Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon was pulled from cask #507, yielding 143 bottles of 130.1 proof (65.05% ABV) whiskey. It was distilled in Tennessee with a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley. It was barreled in Tennessee on March 8, 2016, where it was aged for six years and seven months. It was then transported down to Blanco, Texas, and aged on the south side of Milam & Greene Rickhouse 1 for an additional one year, six months, and twenty days. Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon was bottled on April 26, 2024, at 130.1 proof / 65.05% ABV after aging for a total of eight years, one month, and twenty days.
A beautiful auburn-colored whiskey, Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon is loaded with aromas of leather, raisin, dark fruit, marshmallow, and almond. It has powerful cherry, vanilla, maple syrup, rye bread, and malted candy flavors and finishes with long, sweet notes of maple syrup.
Pricing and Availability
Milam & Greene Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon is available for $149.99 only on the Milam & Greene website and in the distillery tasting room beginning at 3:00 p.m. (CDT) on Wednesday, August 21, 2024.

TinkRsynth is a project for grades 6-8 that reinforces the fundamentals of coding through music. Students create a sound mixing board to produce, manipulate, and synthesize sounds. They do this by programming the board to combine various electrical waves to create sound for their unique instruments. Along the way, they explore the properties and physics of sound waves. In addition, they get to use their instruments to learn about rhythm, chords and melodies, and to compose music. To demonstrate what they learned, students can orchestrate a solo performance or form an ensemble with classmates.
“Hands-on projects give all students the opportunity to build essential skills and envision how STEM can be part of their futures,” said TinkRworks CEO Dr. Chad Stevens. “Whether students are building a digital toy to create their own drawings or developing a device that allows them to make their own music, they can see the connections between what they’re learning and real-world applications. Those connections not only make learning fun, they make learning stick.”
For each project kit, TinkRworks provides all of the essential components to ensure a successful STEAM implementation. Both Tech-A-Sketch and TinkRsynth include a curriculum overview, curriculum map, instructional slides, programming challenges, activity guide, and student assessments.
About TinkRworks TinkRworks is a supplemental K-8 STEAM solution that supports project-based learning and transforms learners into innovators. It includes a standards-rich curriculum, innovative hands-on project kits, professional development, and a web-based learning platform and coding environment that students use to bring their projects to life.
