摘要:
The present invention sorts microorganism populations from a mixture which contains more than one microorganism population. Microorganisms of different types vary in size, shape, and surface charge characteristics. These characteristics we believe contribute to the rate of migration for microorganisms under the influence of an electric field. Microorganisms of the same population (genus and species) will migrate similarly. By applying an electric field in a direction opposite the direction of fluid flow, separation is enhanced.
摘要:
Methods and materials for the detection of the foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV). The methods may utilize PCR amplification, with or without an internal positive control, and appropriate primer pairs. The reagents to perform these methods can be supplied as a kit and/or in tablet form.
摘要:
Primers have been isolated that are diagnostic for the detection of the infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necorsis virus (IHHNV). The primers are based on a new portion of the IHHNV genome and may be used in primer directed amplification or nucleic acid hybridization assay methods.
摘要:
Primers have been isolated that are diagnostic for the detection of Vibrio harveyi. The primers are based on a portion of the Vibrio harveyi LuxR gene and may be used in primer directed amplification or nucleic acid hybridization assay methods.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the detection of an analyte utilizing a nucleic acid label as a reporter. The analyte is detected by the binding of at least two reporter conjugates, each conjugate comprising a member of a binding pair and a nucleic acid label. The binding of the reporter conjugates to the analyte facilitates the juxtaposition of the nucleic acid labels, forming a single nucleic acid amplicon. The amplicon may then be detected directly, or may be used as a template of the generation of amplification products. Detection of the analyte by this process significantly reduces assay background caused by non-specific reporter conjugate binding.
摘要:
Group Transfer Polymerization (GTP) process for preparing a "living" polymer, the process comprising contacting under polymerizing conditions in a polymerization medium, at least one acrylic or maleimide monomer with an initiator which is a tetracoordinate organosilicon, organotin or organogermanium compound having at least one GTP initiating site and a catalyst which is or is a source of an anion selected from the group consisting of bifluoride, fluoride, cyanide, azide or a selected oxyanion, or a selected Lewis acid or Lewis base, the process further characterized in that the initiator or the anion or Lewis acid catalyst is chemically attached (grafted) to a solid support that is insoluble in the polymerization medium.
摘要:
Describes a process for controlling the polymerization and cross-linked density of electrophoretic gel products useful for separation of bioorganic molecules, which process does not use initiators common to processes of the art. Electron beam polymerized gels afford the desired advantages of being ultra thin and having a high electrophoretic resolution with programmable porosity profiles.

Primers have been isolated that are diagnostic for the detection of Vibrio harveyi. The primers are based on a portion of the Vibrio harveyi LuxR gene and may be used in primer directed amplification or nucleic acid hybridization assay methods.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method, kit and system for collecting and processing of samples to release and treat DNA and RNA for gene sequence detection. The method described here in provides for rapid and convenient release, and recovery of DNA and RNA from tissues and cellular materials.
摘要:
A method for detecting the presence of a nucleic acid analyte in a test sample is provided in which a test sample is contacted with a test strip of a chromatographic bibulous porous material which is capable of moving the test sample laterally along the test strip by capillary migration to ultimate capture by a moiety in a specific capture zone.
