This invention relates to micro volume spin columns used for the preparation and purification of small chemical and/or biological samples by centrifugation. The present invention relates to the use of the conventional luer lock fitting in micro volume spin columns. This invention also relates to multi-spin column systems based on joining two or more spin columns by their ends or by combining different filtration or ultra-filtration membranes with spin columns.
摘要:
The present invention presents a novel method for both staining electrophoresis gels, as well as removing the background dye during de-staining. This novel and simple pad-based technique minimizes solvent consumption, is environmentally friendly, and does not leave any solid residues on the gel. Furthermore, a novel method for the quantitative and qualitative determination of protein concentration in solution is also presented. This method is simple, easy-to-use and has an easily visible color change from clear to blue in the presence of protein.
摘要:
Use of modified metal oxides for the purification and enrichment of negatively charged biomolecules such as peptides, proteins, DNA, RNA, Lipids, carbohydrates, glyco molecules. These metal oxides are modified in such a way that the density of the Lewis acid group is reduced due to modification.
摘要:
This invention relates to a novel method for small sample preparation using a tube or column, such as a pipette tip, in which the interior surface is coated with a solid matrix for sample preparation. Said solid matrix is composed of a polymeric substance such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and one or more column materials such as reactive or absorptive materials suited for sample filtration, separation or purification. The desired sample, containing bio-molecules such as DNA, proteins or other molecular components, is passed through said tube or column, which may be a pipette tip, or like structure.
摘要:
In the present invention we describe a new method for the formation of a mucin-biomolecules complex, such as a mucin-DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) complex and the application of such a complex for the transport of DNA, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and other biomolecules into cells. Transfection is the introduction of a DNA molecule into a eukaryotic cell, usually followed by the expression of one or more genes in the newly introduced DNA. The mucin-DNA complex described in the present invention can be used to perform transfection of DNA, as well as, the introduction of RNA and other larger biomolecules into cells. Since effective transfection, especially in in vivo systems is still limited by the methods currently available, the mucin-DNA complex, as described in the present invention, presents a novel and significantly improved method for performing transfection and ensuring the effective transmission of DNA into cells and the expression of genes in transfected DNA.

This invention relates to a tilt switch, which when activated sends signals to a wireless remote receiver. The receiver will alert the human operator and/or execute a process or any programmed action.
摘要:
A reaction chamber is constructed of a reactant-containing aqueous solution, which may be in droplet form, coated with a fluoropolymer powder such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), preferably having a particle size of less than 500 microns. After a reaction, the droplet is destroyed by adding a substance such as a detergent or organic solvent, and the fluoropolymer powder is removed by centrifuging and filtering. Using a micropipette, size of the droplet chamber is increased or decreased by removing or adding liquid, or liquid is transferred from one droplet chamber to another. Charcoal, metal powder or silica powder can be inserted inside or on the surface of the droplet. A droplet chamber containing a first reactant such as an enzyme-bound bead is combined with a second droplet chamber containing a second reactant to react the first and second reactants. A dialysis chamber contains a filtration membrane in contact with the droplet chamber. Placing the droplet chamber between two electrodes and producing current flow between the electrodes provides an electrochemical reaction. A temperature-sensitive reaction such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is performed by heating or cooling the droplet chamber. The droplet reaction chamber is advantageous for microvolumes of sample since container walls are not present on which the sample can disperse, and the chamber does not require significant energy for heating or cooling. In tissue culture, coating a solution containing tissue cells with the fluoropolymer powder reduces sticking of the cells to surfaces of a container.

This invention relates to the use of the conventional necktie as a source of information or for communicating a message in text and/or graphic, either by printing, painting, embroidering, or by thermal, chemical, and physical bonding to the surface of the necktie.
摘要:
A microdialysis system for the dialysis of small sample volumes of protein, nucleic acid, peptide, and other biomolecules has been developed. The device may contain a built-in magnet to permit remote rotation of the device during dialysis. Double sided dialysis chambers can be used for electrodialysis, electroelution, or electroconcentration. Two or more chambers can be joined either by a union or directly for equilibrium dialysis, or other applications.
