    摘要: The present invention provides a method for isolating protein complexes from a cell, a cell or tissue lysate or an whole organism by employing a combined set of affinity tags of high affinity, specificity and ease of elution. The method involves using a known protein modified to contain more than one affinity tag separated by one or more specific protease cleavage sites, as bait, to isolate any interacting proteins or fragments thereof. The proteins or fragments thereof contained in the isolated complex can then be identified and the interacting partners can be used as new targets for diagnostic tools or the basis for the development of new compounds for therapeutic drug intervention.

    摘要: An apparatus (10) for dispensing liquid in conjunction with an array of pipette tips (14), where each pipette tip (36) includes a socket portion (42). The liquid dispensing apparatus (10) includes tubes (25), each including a barrel (28) and a lower end (33), and a nozzle (34), each nozzle (34) having a shoulder (68) and a mouth (44) configured of appropriate diameter to enter into the socket portion (42) of each pipette tip (36), and form a liquid-tight seal therewith. A bottom plate (24) includes a number of through-holes (72) through which each of the nozzles passes (34). The through holes (72) are of larger diameter than the nozzles (34) so that limited lateral movement is allowed. A second embodiment (100) is convertible, so that separation of upper (73) and lower boundaries (75) may be decreased such that the upper boundary (73) contacts the shoulders (68) of said nozzles (34), to hold the nozzles (34) in fixed position, for use with pipette tip arrays (96) which are not bound together in fixed spatial relation to each other, but which are themselves allowed limited lateral movement. Both embodiments (10, 100) may further include a shucker plate (50) such that when the shucker plate (50) is made to travel away from the bottom plate (24) by an ejection mechanism (85), the pipette tips (36, 97) are pushed off of the nozzle mouths (44).

    摘要: A multi-well container (10) is provided in which a greater number of wells may exist than heretofore possible while still maintaining a standard multi-well plate tube array format and footprint. The multi-well container (10) is comprised of a rectangular array of tubes (12) in standard tube format held together by an integrally fashioned plate portion (16). The tubes (12) are subdivided by partitions or septa (14) which extend the height of the tubes (12). Each septum (14) may constitute a single wall or may be comprised of any number of fins (32) which are integral with internal tube surfaces (28). In a symmetrical design with four such fins (32), the fins (32) radiate at angular intervals of 90 degrees from a common central axis (34) with which all four fins (32) are integral. Thus, the septa (14) serve to compartmentalize each tube (12) into symmetrical quadrants of four smaller wells or sub-tubes (30). The preferred embodiment is directed toward usage in conjunction with PCR thermal cyclers, but the multi-well container (10) and the elements as are embodied therein are generally applicable to any laboratory procedure where multiple samples must be treated, evaluated, or stored.
