    摘要: Fluorescent stokes shift probes for polynucleotide hybridization assays are designed to provide predetermined nucleotide base unit spacings between the donor and acceptor fluorophores. When the probes are hybridized to the target polynucleotide the fluorophores paired for non-radiative energy transfer are separated by 2 to 7 nucleotide base units. The fluorophores are attached to the DNA or RNA probes by linker arms having lengths of 4 to 30 Angstroms. Fluorescein is a preferred donor for use with a Texas Red acceptor.

    摘要: Binding assay methods involving determining the presence of analytes in samples through enzymatic formation of detectable substances in amounts related to the amount of analyte present in the sample and monitoring for the presence of the substances in distinct phases. Methods according to the invention include use of labelled materials which associate with the analyte to be determined or compete with the analyte for association with an added binder. The labelled materials employed include label portions which enzymatically form substances from substrates provided in or existing as a first phase, or, upon enzymatic treatment in a first phase, disassociate into substances capable of existing in or as a second distinct phase. Formation of the detectable substances is monitored by determining the transfer of the substance to a second distinct phase in contact with the first phase or by determining formation of a second distinct phase. The assays are useful in determining human IgG protein in blood samples and other constituents of blood or other biological samples without elaborate instrumentation, allowing for practice outside the clinical laboratory.

    摘要: Systems and methods for the electronic sample preparation of biological materials utilize the differential charge-to-mass ratio and/or the differential affinity of sample constituents to separation materials for sample preparation. An integrated system is provided for performing some or all of the processes of: receipt of biological materials, cell selection, sample purification, sample concentration, buffer exchange, complexity reduction and/or diagnosis and analysis. In one embodiment, one or more sample chambers adapted to receive a buffer solution are formed adjacent to a spacer region which may include a trap or other affinity material, electrophoretic motion of the materials to be prepared being effected through operation of electrodes. In another aspect of this invention, a transporter or dipstick serves to collect and permit transport of materials, such as nucleic acids, most preferably DNA and/or RNA. In one embodiment, a membrane or trap is held in a frame which is adapted to mate with a channel formed in the spacer region. In another aspect of this invention, an electrophoretic system for biological sample preparation is operated in a manner so as to utilize the differential charge-to-mass ratio so as to control the migration of materials within the solution. In one aspect, bunching of selected materials is achieved by operation of two electrodes in a manner so as to reduce the spatial dispersion of those materials. In another aspect of this invention, a vertically disposed sample preparation unit includes an upper reservoir including and a collection chamber. A sample is preferably pre-prepared and densified, applied to the conductive polymer, electrophoresed so as to move nucleic acids into the conductive polymer and move undesired material away from the conductive polymer. Integrated systems are described in which cell separation, purification, complexity reduction and diagnosis may be performed together. In the preferred embodiment, cell separation and sample purification are performed in a first region, the steps of denaturation, complexity reduction and diagnosis being performed in a second region.
