摘要:
A reagent delivery device includes a reservoir body (12) with a flexible side wall (12c) and a cap (14) which holds a reagent-containing matrix (18) and a filter (16). Sample is placed in the reservoir body (12) and the cap (14) is attached. The flexible side wall (12c) is compressed, rupturing a vessel (20a) to mix the contents with the sample. The mixture is filtered by the filter (16) and reagent diffuses from the reagent matrix (18) to form a reagent-sample mixture.
摘要:
The present invention comprises a method for rapid detection of at least a first carbohydrate in a carbohydrate-containing sample molecule comprising the steps of: retaining the sample molecule on a region of one liquid permeable reaction membrane (14); flowing a solution of first lectin, capable of binding the first carbohhydrate, through the one reaction membrane (14) to bind the firstlectin to the retained first carbohydrate, the lectin being directly conjugated to a label prior to binding to the carbohydrate or being bound to a labeled separate molecule only after the first lectin has been bound to the carbohydrate, and; thereafter, detecting the label bound on the one reaction membrane (14), indicating the presence of the first carbohydrate.
摘要:
A self-contained system uses light reflectivity to examine the intensity of a dyed spot on a device membrane surrounded by background area to discern information about the specimen that produces the spot. A master clock (270) alternatively drives one LED (280) focussed upon the spot center, and then drives the 2 LEDs focussed on the background area.
