Filed: 2000-05-01
Abstract: Les acides nucléiques sont prêts à subir une amplification ou un autre traitement après que l'on a ajouté à un prélèvement des polymères faiblement basiques spécifiques de manière à former un précipité renfermant les acides nucléiques à pH acide. Après enlèvement des substances non précipitées, le pH devient basique, les acides nucléiques se séparant alors du polymère. Le procédé de préparation des échantillons est simple et très rapide et les acides nucléiques libérés peuvent être ultérieurement traités dans des épreuves d'hybridation ou des processus d'amplification. On n'emploie pas de tensioactifs ni de réactifs de lyse cellulaire. Les polymères faiblement basiques sont hydrosolubles et cationiques à un pH acide, mais de charge neutre à un pH basique.

Patent CA-2383803-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JEWELL RICHARD A
IPC: D21H11/20
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of making a heat and light stable carboxylated cellulose fiber whose fiber strength and degree of polymerization is not significantly sacrificed. The method involves the use of a catalytic amount of a hin-dered cyclic oxammonium salt as a primary oxidant and a peracid and halide salt as a secondary oxidant in an aqueous environment. The oxammonium compounds may be formed in situ from their corresponding amine, hydroxylamine, and nitroxyl com-pounds. The oxidized cellulose is then stabilized against D.P. loss and color reversion by further treatment with an oxidant such as sodium chlorite, a chlorine diox-ide/hydrogen peroxide mixture, or a peracid under acidic conditions.  Alternatively it may be treated with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride. The method results in a high percentage of carboxyl groups located at the fiber surface. The product is es-pecially useful as a papermaking fiber where it contributes strength and has a higher attraction for cationic additives. The product is also useful as an additive to recycled fiber to increase strength. The method can be used to improve properties of either vir-gin or recycled fiber. It does not require high .alpha.-cellulose fiber but is suitable for regu-lar market pulps.
