摘要:
Linking multiple identities from a single service includes for a user of a single service having multiple identities within the single service, authenticating a primary identity having a first buddy list associated with an account, authenticating a secondary identity having a second buddy list associated with the account, and creating an association between the primary identity and the secondary identity, where the primary identity and the secondary identity simultaneously share a common graphical user interface such that the primary identity interacts with the first buddy list and the secondary identity interacts with the second buddy list using the common graphical user interface.

摘要:
A fluid processing device, system, and method, are provided, for processing one or more samples. The device can comprise two or more sets of substantially parallel fluid processing pathways, each set comprising one or more fluid processing pathways. Each fluid processing pathway can comprise a reaction region, one or more inlet chambers, and one or more outlet chambers. The one or more outlet chambers of each set of fluid processing pathways can be arranged in an array configured to interface with an analyzer comprising a plurality of injectors, for example, injectors for capillaries of a multi-capillary electrophoresis instrument. The one or more inlet chambers of each set of fluid processing pathways can be arranged in an array configured to interface with a loading device comprising a plurality of injectors, for example, the loading tips of a multi-pipette robotic filling device.
摘要:
Various embodiments described in the application relate to an apparatus, system, and method for fluidically controlling, within a conduit, discrete volumes of one or more fluids that are immiscible with a second fluid. The discrete volumes can be used for biochemical or molecular biology procedures involving small volumes, for example, microliter-sized volumes, nanoliter-sized volumes, or smaller. The system can comprise combinations of detectors, controllers, valves, and fluid supply units to control the spatial size, location and/or fluidic composition of discrete volumes separated from one another by a fluid that is immiscible with the fluid(s) of the discrete volumes, for example, aqueous immiscible-fluid-discrete volumes separated by an oil.
摘要:
A microfluidic manipulation system is provided that includes a blade for manipulating deformable material and at least one movable support that is capable of moving the blade into contact with a microfluidic device including a deformable feature. When the microfluidic device is operatively held by a holder, a movable support can position the distal end of the blade relative to the microfluidic device and move the contact tip surface of the blade such that it deforms the deformable feature.
摘要:
Methods are described for assessing an individual's likelihood of developing or exhibiting a multifactorial trait, and for predicting the effectiveness of a drug treatment regimen in an individual. The methods include determining a plurality of genotypes for the individual at a plurality of biallelic polymorphic loci, using the genotypes to compute a score for the individual, and comparing the score to at least one threshold value. Genetic tests are also described for assessing an individual's likelihood of developing or exhibiting a multifactorial trait.
摘要:
A tissue adhesive sealant includes a cross-linkable protein in a solution that when combined with a cross-linking agent solution including an aldehyde and amino acid containing species reactive with the aldehyde cross-links to form a seal. The sealant is well suited for bonding tissue alone or in combination with a patch. The ratio between the aldehyde and the amino acid containing species is between 20:1 and 1:1 on an aldehyde moiety:amino acid or peptide subunit molar basis. Particularly strong seals are formed when the protein and cross-linking agent are present in a molar ratio of between 15:1 and 1:1.
摘要:
A method of forming a pot for an array of hollow fibre membranes (7) is provided, including the steps of placing the ends (6) of the fibre membranes (7) in a mould (5); forming a first layer (20) of curable resin material in a non-cured state around the fibre membrane ends (6), applying a second layer (21) of a polyurethane resin material to the first layer (20) prior to full curing of the first layer, the polyurethane resin material layer being chemically reactive with the first layer material to form an adhesive bond therebetween; at least partially curing both layers and removing the pot formed from the mould (5), wherein the second layer material is of higher flexibility than the first layer material when each layer is fully cured. Apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
