A method for wetting a substrate with a fluid and a substrate is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate, providing a wetting fluid, applying a protective layer to the substrate, patterning the protective layer and applying the wetting fluid to exposed wetting areas on the subtrate without direct contact between a wetting apparatus and the substrate surface.
摘要:
A method is described for detecting nucleic acid oligomer hybridization events by fluorescence quenching, which comprises as a first step the provision of a modified surface. The modification of the surface consists in the binding of at least one type of modified nucleic acid oligomers 201, wherein said nucleic acid oligomers 201 are modified by at least one type of fluorophore 102 bound to it. The further steps of the inventive method are: providing a sample that includes nucleic acid oligomers, contacting said sample with the modified surface, adjusting a defined salt concentration of greater than 0.5 mol/l in the solution surrounding the modified nucleic acid oligomers, detecting the fluorescence of the fluorophore and comparing the detected fluorescence intensity with reference values.

A chemistry matrix for use in determining the concentration of an analyte in a biological fluid includes a glucose dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, an alkylphenazine quaternary salt, and/or a nitrosoaniline. The chemistry matrix is used with an electrochemical biosensor to determine the concentration of an analyte after a reaction occurs within the biosensor, at which time an analysis is completed to determine the concentration. A method of determining the concentration of an analyte using the chemistry matrix of glucose dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, an alkylphenazine quaternary salt, and/or a nitrosoaniline is another aspect that is described. The method also further features test times of five seconds or less. Methods utilizing the new chemistry matrix can readily determine an analyte such as blood glucose at concentrations of from about 20-600 mg/dL at a pH of from about 6.5 to about 8.5.

The invention relates to an electrical connection system for an analysis system and a method for analysis of a liquid sample on an analytical test element using the described analysis system. The analysis system comprises an evaluation appliance for evaluation of electrical signals, a test element holder for holding and positioning of an analytical test element in a measurement position, and at least one electrical contact element configured to make electrical contact with at least one electrical contact surface of an analytical test element, and to produce an electrical connection between the contact surface and the evaluation appliance. The at least one contact element is arranged to move to contact the contact surface of a test element held either in a fixed test element holder or a moveable test element holder, such as a slide. Furthermore, the analysis system has a means for moving the electrical contact element to the electrical contact surface of an analytical test element when the test element holder is in the measurement position.
