摘要:
Compositions for cryopreservation of phosphoglyceride-containing biological and synthetic membranes are provided in which a lipophilic anchor molecule is modified by the attachment of a preferably carbohydrate moiety placed at a predetermined, variable distance from the hydrophobic portion of the molecule by means of a hydrophilic linker unit. A method for the use of the compositions is also provided.

摘要:
The ability of phosphoglyceride-containing membranes to withstand the disruptive effects of freezing, thawing, or freeze-drying is enhanced when treated with (a) a compound of the formula R-X-R.sub.1, wherein R is a lipid or lipophilic anchor, X is a hydrophilic linker group, and R.sub.1 is a polyalcohol or carbohydrate group, and (b) ascorbic acid.

Liposomes of a size of less than 200 nanometers target ischemic myocardial tissue and preferentially deliver active agents to infarcted areas in the absence of antibodies bound to the liposomes to effect the delivery.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for preparing a substrate upon which is located microdrop-sized loci at which chemical compounds are synthesized or diagnostic tests are conducted. The loci are formed by applying microdrops from a dispenser from which a microdrop is pulse fed onto the surface of the substrate.
摘要:
Unilamellar vesicles comprising a lipid bilayer, an ionophore being incorporated in said lipid bilayer, a chelating agent entrapped within the vesicles, and an effective amount of physiologically compatible cation bound to said chelating agent within the vesicles. Unilamellar vesicles are loaded by incubating the vesicles with the cation, terminating the incubation and recovering the loaded vesicles by chromatography. In some applications of the invention, the cation may be a radioactive tracer, in which case the vesicles can be administered to the human host and observed by scintillation techniques to produce a radioimage which is useful for diagnostic purposes.
摘要:
The present invention discloses an improved method and apparatus for analyzing the surface of materials using sub-micron laser desorption gas phase analysis. The method uses a combination of Near-field Optical Microscopy and Time-of Flight Mass Spectroscopy.
摘要:
An apparatus for the automated synthesis of molecular arrays. A jetting device is employed along with a reaction chamber to dispense reagents used in the synthesis onto the substrate. A positioning system moves the substrate from the jet to the reaction chamber. A controller controls the movement of the substrate and the application of the reagents so that the synthesis is carried out according to a pre-determined procedure. The apparatus will synthesize nucleotides in an array of micron-size spots according to a pattern selected by the operator immediately prior to synthesis.
