    摘要: The use of a red nucleic acid stain, in particular red fluorescent SYTO® dye in various methods used for the detection or characterisation of nucleic acids is described. In particular, the red nucleic acid stains have been found to be particularly compatible with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and therefore form the basis of enhanced detection methods.

    摘要: Biochemical assay apparatus uses a container with a sleeve of electrically-conductive material (300) to heat it. The heating is done inside a chamber and a contactless heat sensor (110) such as a thermopile or a bolometer, also inside the chamber, is used to monitor the temperature of the electrically conductive material (300). There are many factors that distort the output of the heat sensor (110), particularly as the temperature rises and properties such as emissivity change, or as time goes by and tarnishing and dust affect the heat sensor output. Because the sleeve has low thermal mass and heat transfer only has to happen over short distances, it is relatively easy to calculate a change in actual temperature of the electrically conductive material (300) when subjected to a known pulse of drive current and this property can be used to calibrate the performance of the heat sensor (110) in situ in the chamber.

    摘要: RNA-containing probes and kits comprising RNA-containing probes for the detection and analysis of nucleic acid sequences are described. These probes are contacted with a sample suspected of containing the nucleic acid sequence and if they form duplexes, they are hydrolysed. This may be done, for example during an amplification reaction. AMP generated as a result of the hydrolysis is converted to ATP. The ATP may then be detected using bioluminescent reagents. Inclusion of modified adenosine in at least one probe means that the signal arising from one probe will give rise to a different and distinguishable bioluminescent signal thus enabling the use of for example an internal control in bioluminescently-reported nucleic acid tests.
