[QUOTE="LizLola, post: 2330804, member: 77409"] I only have my private correspondence with the scientist who invented it. Amazingly, he was asked to find a way of removing the phenols from human growth hormone as one of the, ONE of the patients taking it had shown a reaction to the phenols in it. He researched and invented this filter - but by then the manufacturers of the growth hormone had realised that they can dry growth hormone and reconstitute it with water just before injection (like we do with glucagon). So they didn't want his filter - he went on to research if it could be used for insulin before offering it to the manufacturers - they said it would not work for insulin in suspension. He solved that, too. They still did not want it - because 'there is no demand'. If only enough of us or someone with a good way with words and a lot of clout could/would stand up and shout for it!
