摘要:
Disclosed is a method for identification of microbial pathogens in a body fluid sample comprising the following steps: a) providing a body fluid sample; b) lysing the microbial pathogens and performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction on the microbial DNA encoding 16S or 18S rRNA wherein or whereafter the amplified nucleic acids are labelled; c) contacting the labelled amplified nucleic acids of step b) with a microarray comprising on defined areas on the microarray's surface immobilised probes for microbial DNA encoding 16S or 18S rRNA from microbial pathogens; d) detecting the binding of one or more species of the labelled amplified nucleic acids to a probe by detecting a labelled amplified nucleic acid being specifically bound to the microarray; and e) identifying a microbial pathogen in the body fluid sample by correlating the detected binding of the labelled amplified nucleic acids with the defined areas of the immobilised probes for microbial DNA encoding 16S or 18S rRNA from microbial pathogens.

摘要:
An apparatus for enhancing the contact frequency between two reactants capable of binding to one another, preferably between an analyzer molecule and an analyte molecule, especially for enhancing the binding effectiveness in bioanalysis arrays with the aid of micro- or nanomagnetic particles (75) set in motion in a controlled manner in the fluid reaction medium by means of magnetic fields generated by variably feedable electromagnets (3, 2, 20) arranged on both sides of the reaction fluid film. On one side of a reaction fluid film, especially of a microscope slide (4) comprising the reactants (63), the reaction liquid (70) comprising the reactants (73) and preferably a glass plate (5) covering the microbioanalysis array (6), is arranged close to a two-dimensional matrix (20) having a multitude of miniature or millimagnetic coils (2) feedable individually with magnetization current of variable strength and/or voltage as a function of time—corresponding to a time-dependent variable magnetization pattern desired in each case—and, on the other side of the reaction vessel, especially the microscope slide (4) with the (micro)bioanalysis array (6), in whose vicinity is positioned only one magnetic coil (3) likewise feedable with variable magnetization current and whose magnetic field permeates the entire reaction vessel, especially the microbioanalysis array (6).

The present invention discloses a method of diagnosing lung cancer by using methylation specific markers from a set, having diagnostic power for lung cancer diagnosis and distinguishing lung cancer types in diverse samples; as well as methods to identify sets of prognostic and diagnostic value.
摘要:
A method for improving the contour of rolled material over at least one segment of a rolling schedule including a plurality of rolling processes. The method includes associating at least one quality criterion with at least one rolling stand of at least one of the plurality of rolling processes, optimizing the at least one quality criterion using a mathematical formula, predetermining at least one work roll shift for the plurality of rolling processes over the at least one segment of the rolling schedule based on an optimization of the at least one quality criterion, and axially shifting at least one work roll of the at least one rolling stand.

摘要:
Process to monitor and control the quality of rolled products from hot-rolled processes which produce products such as sheets, rods, etc., from input stock such as slabs, billets, etc. The process estimates in advance the expected material properties of the end product at each step of the hot-rolling production process. The process further provides that conditions, such as temperature, reduction depth, etc., are detected on-line throughout the entire rolling process and from the values obtained, via interrelated physical—metallurgical and/or statistical models describing the whole rolling process, the mechanical/technical material properties to be expected, particularly the yield point, the tensile strength and the breaking elongation point of the rolled product, are calculated. On-line detection of the actual and momentary production conditions is necessary to allow the material properties to always be estimated in advance.
