Abstract:
Hybridization assay detection probes targeted to HPV Type 16 nucleic acid sequences which are particularly useful to aid in detecting HPV type 16 are described. The oligonucleotides can aid in detecting HPV Type 16 by acting singly or as part of a detection probe mixture. Compositions, reaction mixtures and methods of use are provided.
Abstract:
A cap having a core structure dimensioned to receive a pipette therethrough. The cap includes two axially aligned frangible seals that are affixed to the core structure in a spaced-apart relationship. The frangible seals are constructed so that air passageways are formed between the frangible seals and a pipette tip when the pipette tip penetrates the frangible seals. The cap optionally includes a filter interposed between the first and second frangible seals.
