    摘要: The invention provides methods and systems for improved spatial resolution of signal detection, particularly as applied to the analysis of polymers such as biological polymers. Some of the methods and systems comprise differentially tagging polymers in order to increase resolution. Some of the methods and systems comprise techniques for improving the precision of separation distance measurements, without necessarily requiring improvements in the known detection resolution of prior art systems.

    摘要: Analytical nanostrips for clinical analysis are improved by using multifunctional coding (“multicoding”) to allow simultaneous identification of the particular assay, the value of the assayed analyte, and a calibration of the analyte. The multicoding layout on the nanostrip minimizes the number of zones that are required for a given assay. Moreover, the nanostrip can be scanned in real time during flow of the nanostrip through a detection beam. This both simplifies the assay and allows for alternative means of coding.

    摘要: An improved device and method for passive mixing of fluids is described, and the use of the device in clinical diagnostic procedures. The mixer provides thorough mixing of a sample of blood or other fluid with an assay material, such as a diluent or a component of an assay system, in a closed system with a low and limited pressure drop. Sample size is small, typically 5 to 300 microliters. Mixing is accomplished by a combination of rotational vortex mixing due to a fluid stream coming tangent to a drain, and either or both of a second vortex mixer of opposite handedness, and a Dean mixer. Combinations of these techniques reliably provide complete mixing at low pressure drop. In a preferred usage, the microfluidic system can run a diluent continuously and inject samples at intervals, to facilitate automatic data processing of optical or other signatures of the well-mixed stream.

    摘要: A system for collection and delivery of sub-milliliter liquid samples is described that provides a dramatic simplification for the measurement of clinical values. The system produces high dilutions of capillary size samples, such as bodily fluids or blood, by a factor of 1000 or more. Multiple assays can be conducted on a sample of 0.1 cc or less. A small lancet can create a drop of blood on a fingertip or other location, which can be collected into a self-priming capillary blood collector. The sample is then loaded into a consumable loader. Then a fluid, such as saline, is flowed into the consumable loader, and passes through the capillary collector, washing out the fluid. Downstream, the blood in the capillary is reliably diluted by mixing with appropriate reagents to allow analysis of selected blood properties. One or more individual bubbles can be inserted into the stream during loading. The capillary loading system can be used for one or several assays on a single blood sample. It can be very compact and lightweight and is suitable for use in remote environments, such as outer space, in which it is difficult to access diagnostic assays.

    摘要: The invention relates to new systems, methods and products for analyzing polymers and in particular new systems, methods and products useful for obtaining sequence information from polymers. The invention has numerous advantages over prior art systems and methods used to obtain sequence-related information. Using the methods of the invention the entire human genome could be analyzed several orders of magnitude faster than could be accomplished using conventional technology. In addition to obtaining sequencing information for the entire genome, the systems, methods and products of the invention can be used to create comprehensive and multiple expression maps for developmental and disease processes. The ability to analyze an individual's genome and to generate multiple expression maps will greatly enhance the ability to determine the genetic basis of any phenotypic trait or disease process.
