Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody capable of binding to biotin. In one embodiment the monoclonal antibody according to the invention also does not bind to a biotin moiety on a biotinylated molecule, wherein the biotin moiety is attached to the molecule via the carbon atom of the carboxyl function of the valeric acid moiety of biotin. Also disclosed is a method for generation of an antibody as disclosed herein. The monoclonal antibody according to the invention is of specific use in a method for measuring an analyte in a sample, wherein a (strept)avidin/biotin pair is used to bind a biotinylated analyte specific binding agent to a (strept)avidin coated solid phase.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an in vitro method for measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, wherein the potentially interfering compound 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is blocked by a binding agent specifically binding to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and not binding to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel bis-iridium-based Ir(III) complexes, labels manufactured using these complexes and a method for producing such complexes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to novel bis-maleic anhydrides and to the surprising discovery that bis-maleic anhydride cross-linking agents can be used for preservation/fixation of a cell or tissue sample. Various bis-maleic anhydride cross-linking agent scan be used in methods requiring fixation of a cell or tissue sample. These reagents and methods are especially useful in procedures that require that the fixation agent be removed in order to facilitate analysis with other reagents. The inventive reagents and methods make it easier to reliably assay for various proteins, a nucleic acid and the like using analytical methods such as like immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, and the like.
