Abstract:
Bis-diazo, triaryl and aryldiazo-N-arylphenazonium quencher moieties, substituted with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents which induce polarity in the delocalized aryl/diazo ring systems, are useful as labels when attached to biomolecules such as polynucleotides, nucleosides, nucleotides and polypeptides. The quencher moieties are non-fluorescent and accept energy transfer from fluorescent reporter labels by any energy-transfer mechanism, such as FRET.Fluorescence quencher compositions are useful in preparing quencher labeled biomolecules for various molecular biology assays based on fluorescence detection.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, or system for generating a pattern of polynucleotides on a substrate. The method includes providing a substrate having a hydrophobic surface. The method further includes conjugating a polystyrene moiety to a polynucleotide and applying a polystyrene-polynucleotide conjugate to create a plurality of reaction spots on the hydrophobic surface of the substrate. An apparatus includes a substrate with at least one polystyrene-polynucleotide conjugate on a surface of the substrate. A system can analyze a polystyrene-polynucleotide conjugate and the system may perform PCR.
