Abstract:
The invention describes novel crosslinking compounds that include photoactivatable moieties. Several families of compounds are disclosed that can include one or more hydrophilic moieties that help to solubilize the compounds in aqueous environments.
Abstract:
The invention describes novel compositions that include a cross linking compound, a polymer and a 1 nm to about a 25 micron sized particle optionally with an oxide layer. In particular, the particle is a silica and one which has been pretreated with a silane.

Abstract:
Arrays including microparticles having probe and marker moieties are used for the detection of a target in a sample. Microparticles are randomly immobilized on at least a portion of a substrate. A detection scheme is performed to detect the marker associated with the microparticle and the identity of the probe, and any target bound to the probe.
Abstract:
The invention describes compositions that include a polymer having a water contact angle of between about 120° and about 150° or greater adhered to a 1 nm to about a 25 micron diameter sized particle optionally with an oxide layer. In particular, the particle is a silica and one which has been pretreated with a silane.

Abstract:
A thermally-reactive polymer that forms a polymer-coupled reactive species upon heating is described and useful for forming coated surfaces. The polymer-coated surface has improved lubricity and passivity. A thermally-reactive quaternary amine-containing polymer was produced that provides passivity and anti-microbial activity.
