Abstract:
The invention relates to a pump module, a base pump module and a pump system comprising a pump module and a base pump module. The pump module (1) according to the invention comprises a base part (2) and an elastically deformable membrane (4), the base part (2) and the membrane (4) forming a linear pump channel (5) which is curved in at least some sections. The base part (2) has a pump channel inlet (6) and a pump channel outlet (7), the pump channel inlet (6) and the pump channel outlet (7) being connected to the pump channel (5) for supplying a fluid to the pump channel (5) and leading it off therefrom such that a periodically circulating deformation of the membrane (4) allows a fluid to be pumped through the pump channel (5) from the pump channel inlet (6) to the pump channel outlet (7).

Abstract:
Method of detecting methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) in a nucleic acid coamplification assay. The invention advantageously reduces the incidence of false-positive MRSA determinations in real-time assays by requiring satisfaction of a threshold criterion that excludes certain co-infections from the MRSA determination. The invention further provides for determination of MSSA, even when the MSSA is present in combination with methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative (MR-CoNS) bacteria at high or low levels.

Abstract:
Methods for efficiently capturing a target nucleic acid from a sample by using a mixture that contains a capture probe specific for the target nucleic acid, the target nucleic acid, and a denaturant chemical, which mixture is incubated at elevated temperature for a short time, are disclosed. Compositions that include a capture probe that specifically binds to a target nucleic acid and a denaturant chemical, which when mixed with the target nucleic acid and incubated at elevated temperature for a short time, promote efficient hybridization of the capture probe and target nucleic acid are disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel methods of synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence which are autocatalytic ( i.e ., able to cycle automatically without the need to modify reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, or ionic strength and using the product of one cycle in the next one). In particular, the present invention discloses a method of nucleic acid amplification which is robust and efficient, while reducing the appearance of side-products. The method uses only one primer, the "priming oligonucleotide," a 3'blocked promoter oligonucleotide and optionally, a means for terminating a primer extension reaction, to amplify RNA or DNA molecules in vitro , while reducing or eliminating the formation of side-products. The method of the present invention minimizes or eliminates the emergence of side-products, thus providing a high level of specificity. Furthermore, the appearance of side-products can complicate the analysis of the amplification reaction by various molecular detection techniques. The present invention minimizes or eliminates this problem, thus providing an enhanced level of sensitivity.
