    摘要: Disclosed is are methods for identifying a nucleic acid in a sample. In one example, the method includes: (a) contacting the nucleic acid in the sample with an oligonucleotide that is specific for the nucleic acid in the sample and that is labeled with at least a first fluorescent dye; (b) contacting the nucleic acid in the sample with a second fluorescent dye that is different from the first fluorescent dye, such that the second fluorescent dye interacts with the nucleic acid; (c) amplifying the nucleic acid if present in the sample; and (d) detecting the nucleic acid if present in the sample by observing fluorescence from the first fluorescent dye after the oligonucleotide hybridizes to the amplified nucleic acid and determining the melting temperature of the amplified nucleic acid by measuring the fluorescence of the second fluorescent dye. The second fluorescent dye may include a fluorescent intercalating agent.

    摘要: Systems and methods for processing sample processing devices. The system can include a sample processing device comprising a detection chamber, a motor configured to rotate the sample processing device about an axis of rotation, and an optical module operatively positioned relative to the sample processing device and configured to determine whether a selected volume of material is present in the detection chamber of the sample processing device. The method can include rotating the sample processing device about an axis of rotation, and determining whether a selected volume of material is present in the detection chamber, while rotating the sample processing device. In some embodiments, determining whether a selected volume of material is present can be performed by optically interrogating the detection chamber for an optical property of the material.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for detecting human retroviral nucleic acids such as human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) nucleic acid, human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) nucleic acid, and human T-cell leukemia virus type II (HTLV-II) nucleic acid in a sample. In the method, the sample is treated with reverse transcriptase to generate cDNA, and the cDNA is subsequently analyzed to detect HIV-1, HTLV-I, and HTLV-II. The method may include performing PCR and the method may utilize specific primers. In addition, the method may utilize HTLV linkers that facilitate PCR amplification and sequencing. The cDNA may be treated with restriction enzymes before or after PCR amplification to facilitate sequencing and detection of HIV-1, HTLV-I, or HTLV-II nucleic acid.
