Title: Method for preparing water-soluble cross-linked conjugates
Inventor: LIHME ALLAN OTTO FOG
IPC: C07K17/10
Filed: 1999-07-29
Granted: 2003-01-02
Abstract: The preparation of a new water-soluble cross-linked conjugates and cross-linked conjugate complexes improves the detection ability of immunochemical assays, including lateral flow devices, and relies on a "salting-out" process in which a reversible precipitate is formed at lyotropic salt concentrations greater than 1 M and coincides with a cross-linking of the backbone of the water-soluble intermediate conjugate. The backbone which consists of polysaccharides, including dextrans, is linked to a signal component, such as a dye, that produces a colour, via a bifunctional linker component, such as epichlorohydrin or divinyl sulfone, and optionally through a protein spacer component such as ovalbumin (OA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA). The cross-linking of the dextrans occurs via the linker component, during the "salting-out" process to give, in the presence of suitable targets such as antibodies or antigens, water-soluble cross-linked conjugates and cross-linked conjugate complexes. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1986-07-24
Granted: 1989-08-17
Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic flux sensing instrument for locating bodies generating a magnetic flux and/or distorting the earth's magnetic field. The instrument comprises first and second Hall effect devices (11), each of which generates an electrical signal proportional to any such anomalous flux to which each device is exposed with the devices themselves being spaced apart from one another, such that when approaching a body, the first Hall effect device is positioned for a different exposure to the anomalous flux and generates an electrical signal different from the second Hall effect device. The instrument further includes first and second field bucking members (21) for offsetting effects of the earth's magnetic field on the two Hall effect devices and controlled by a processor (57-67) receiving the electrical signals from the Hall effect devices to induce first and second bucking fields for opposing the anomalous flux at the first and second Hall effect devices, respectively. The processor, in turn, provides first and second flux related signals, representative of the level of bucking required at each of the first and second Hall effect devices and a means for comparing the magnitudes of the first and second flux related signals with an output for showing differences therebetween indicating presence of the body.
