Title: Method for performing nucleic acid hybridization assays.
Inventor: SNITMAN DAVID L
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1986-06-13
Abstract: A method and a kit for the isolation and quantitative detection of a selected target nucleic acid sequence from solution employing two probes. A first probe is complementary to one portion of the target and is covalently attached to a first complexing agent (e.g., either an antigen or an antibody). The second probe is complementary to a different portion of the target and is associated with a reporter group. Following hybridization of the target and two probes in solution, a solid support coated with a second complexing agent (i.e., a corresponding antibody or antigen) capable of binding to the first complexing agent on the first probe is employed to immobilize the target-probe hybrid complex. A plurality of types of first probes may be used. Each type is attached to the same sort of complexing agent but each includes a nucleic acid sequence which is complementary to a different portion of the target.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU91/00406 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 23, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 23, 1993 PCT Filed Aug. 30, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/04594 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 19, 1992.Interference methods and interference microscopes for measuring energy path length differences, path length between two locations or for determining refractive index are disclosed. According to one embodiment a confocal interference microscope (100) may be employed to build up an interferogram of surface (123) of object (124) as follows. A portion of the light beam from coherent laser diode (101) is coherently guided to exit (115) and focussed into a diffraction limited spot (125) intersecting surface (123) by high quality lens (122). A portion of the scattered signal light resulting from spot (125) is collected by lens (122) and confocally injected back into exit (115) to be guided back to coupler (108). A second portion of the light beam from diode (101) is coherently guided to end (121) from whence it emerges collimated. This collimated beam termed the reference beam is partially reflected by mirror (126) through end (121) and is guided back to coupler (102) where it interferes with the signal beam. The result of the interference is detected by detector (127) and fed to a computer (128). A portion of the signal light injected into fibre exit (115) is guided to detector (145) which detects the intensity level. This intensity level is fed to a computer (128) and used to control scanner (130) so as to maintain the focus of spot (125) on surface (123). A portion of the reference beam reflected by mirror (126) is injected into single mode fibre (135) and guided coherently to coupler (138) where it interferes with illuminating light guided coherently from laser diode (101) and thence detected by detector (142). The resulting signal is fed to a computer (128). While scanner (130) is moving the exits the computer (128) keeps track of their position by monitoring the interference signal from detector (142).

Title: Photopolymerizable biodegradable hydrogels as tissue contacting materials and controlled-release carriers.
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1993-03-01
Abstract: Hydrogels of polymerized and crosslinked macromers comprising hydrophilic oligomers having biodegradable monomeric or oligomeric extensions, which biodegradable extensions are terminated on free ends with end cap monomers or oligomers capable of polymerization and cross linking are described. The hydrophilic core itself may be degradable, thus combining the core and extension functions. Macromers are polymerized using free radical initiators under the influence of long wavelength ultraviolet light, visible light excitation or thermal energy. Biodegradation occurs at the linkages within the extension oligomers and results in fragments which are non-toxic and easily removed from the body. Preferred applications for the hydrogels include prevention of adhesion formation after surgical procedures, controlled release of drugs and other bioactive species, temporary protection or separation of tissue surfaces, adhering of sealing tissues together, and preventing the attachment of cells to tissue surfaces.

Title: Centrifuge with annular filter
Inventor: HOLM NIELS ERIK
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 1995-12-01
Abstract: A method and a device for separating a component, such as fibrin I from blood, by centrifugation. The method involves feeding of blood admixed an anticlotter to a first annular chamber in a device, where the annular chamber is defined by a cylindrical outer wall and a cylindrical inner wall, both walls extending coaxially about a common axis, as well as by a top wall and a bottom wall, where the top wall or the bottom wall is formed by a piston body displaceable within the first chamber. The method involves furthermore a centrifugation of the device about the said common axis followed by a resulting liquid fraction being transferred while influenced by the piston body to a second chamber defined by an outer cylindrical wall, which extends coaxially with said common axis. As a result the liquid fraction present in the second chamber is caused to be further separated by a continued centrifugation and addition of suitable compositions promoting the separation and returning of the non-utilizable portion to the first chamber. In addition, the portion of the liquid fraction remaining in the second chamber is transferred to a liquid-receiving container through a filter optionally after addition of a solvent. The portion of the liquid fraction remaining in the second chamber prior to the transfer to the liquid-receiving container is transferred to a third chamber coaxially accommodated with the other chambers, and the liquid now present in said third chamber is caused to pass through an annular filter during the centrifugation so as to enter an annular outer compartment which is adapted to be connected to the liquid-receiving member.
