    摘要: Methods, devices, apparatus and kits for amplifying and detecting nucleic acid are provided. The apparatus is a one or two-tier thermal cycling device that operates in conjunction with a reaction/detection unit. A sample is loaded into a reaction chamber of the device which is then mated with a detection chamber to form the reaction/detection unit. A first heating element of the thermal cycling apparatus applies a desired temperature to the reaction/detection device to amplify target nucleic acid in the sample. The reaction mixture is then transferred to the detection chamber by the second heating element and amplified target nucleic acid is immobilized on a support in the detection chamber. Microprocessor control controls the heat applied by the second element independently of the heat applied by the first element. A detection system associated with the apparatus detects and analyzes the immobilized amplified nucleic acid target. Images are captured and digitized and subjected to statistical analysis to improve the accuracy of the method.

    摘要: Methods, devices, apparatus and kits for amplifying and detecting nucleic acid are provided. The apparatus is a thermal cycling device that operates in conjunction with a reaction/detection unit. A sample is loaded into a reaction chamber of the device which is then sealably mated with a detection chamber to form a sealed reaction/detection unit that is virtually irreversibly closed. One or more heating elements of the thermal cycling apparatus applies a desired temperature to the reaction/detection device to amplify target nucleic acid in the sample. The reaction mixture is then transferred to the detection chamber and amplified target nucleic acid is immobilized on a support in the detection chamber. A detection system associated with the apparatus detects and analyzes the immobilized amplified nucleic acid target. Kits include the reaction/detection units and reagents for amplification.

    摘要: The electrophoresis method of the present invention employs a media which contains uniformly dispersed liposomes of phospholipid, or combinations of phospholipid and neutral lipid, which contain chromogenic materials or dye precursers. After electrophoresis of a test sample, the liposomes are lysed and the chromogen or dye material released. The chromogen or dye can be any signal producing substance including a chromogenic agent, and enzyme, a fluorogenic agent, or a chemiluminescent agent, but a detectable signal occurs only where the staining material is in close proximity to specific enzymes, effectors, analytes, or other color-inducing agents which have migrated through the gel during electrophoresis.

    摘要: The invention relates to multiplex ligase chain reaction (LCR). Two or more purative target sequences are selected. For each one, a set of four probes is used simultaneously to amplify the putative sequence if it is present in the sample. Preferably, all the amplicons are labeled with a common label/hapten and, for each different target, with a unique label/hapten. The invention also relates to an immunochromatographic strip device and method employing a diagonal array of capture spots.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of detecting the amount of a target sequence which may be present in a test sample. The method uses an aggregate primer series, which comprises at least two primer sets, in an amplification reaction to detect the relative concentration of a target sequence which may be present in a test sample. The primer sets have different sensitivities and hybridize with sub-target sequences which are different regions of the target sequence. The method generally comprises cycling a test sample suspected of containing a target sequence, an aggregate primer series, and means necessary for performing an amplification reaction; and detecting any amplified sub-target sequences. Based on a qualitative detection of the amplified sub-target sequences generated by individual primer sets, the relative quantity of the target sequence can be determined.
