Abstract: A novel suspension hybridization assay was used to determine nucleic acid copy number by flow cytometry. The assay was validated with low copy (Ic) products ranging in length from 100 to 2304 bp conjugated to spectrally-distinct polystyrene microspheres. In the example provided herein, these conjugated microspheres were used as multiplex hybridization probes to detect homologous sequences in genomic DNA extracted from cytogenetic cell pellets and labeled with biotin-dUTP. Hybridization was detected with phycoerythrin-labeled streptavidin and analyzed by flow cytometry. Copy number differences were distinguishable by comparing the mean fluorescence intensities of test probes with a diploid reference probe in genomic DNA of patient samples and abnormal cell lines. The assay is capable of distinguishing a single allele and three alleles at a test locus from a biallelic reference sequence, regardless of chromosomal context. The assay is an improvement on previous methods which require prior amplification of locus-specific target DNA because, Ic probes provide adequate specificity and sensitivity for accurate copy number determination of homologous targets. Because of its high sensitivity and accuracy, the assay is useful for determination of nucleic acid copy number for a variety of applications, including determination of genomic copy number in humans, animal models of disease and in solution, measurement of transcript levels, forensic DNA analysis, and quality control analysis in agriculture.

Abstract: Gas cabinet used in the semiconductor industry, comprises housing (1) in which a gas bottle (9) that is accommodated, is attached to duct system, an inlet port, an outlet port, a flow displacement hollow body, a recess, and an inert gas connection. The duct system is present in the housing and lies in a flow of scavenging air, which enters into the housing through the inlet port and leaves the housing through the outlet port. The housing exhibits a range with a correspondingly reduced cross-section for the delimitation of the flow cross-section. The gas cabinet useful in the semiconductor industry, comprises housing (1) in which a gas bottle (9) that is accommodated, is attached to duct system, an inlet port, an outlet port, a flow displacement hollow body, a recess, and an inert gas connection. The duct system is present in the housing and lies in a flow of scavenging air, which enters into the housing through the inlet port and leaves the housing through the outlet port. The housing exhibits a range with a correspondingly reduced cross-section for the delimitation of the flow cross-section. The gas cabinet is designed in such a manner that the free-flow cross-section of the scavenging air is limited in the housing to a quantity that is needed for a reliable purification. The flow displacement hollow body is accommodated for the delimitation of the flow cross-section in the housing, exhibits the inert gas connection for its purification, exhibits unequal cross-section along its height, and extends up to the region of the gas bottle. In the housing two flow displacement bodies that face one another with an intermediate distance between them are intended. Both the flow displacement hollow bodies protrude into the region of the gas bottle and are provided respectively at their sides facing the gas bottle with the recess, into which the gas bottle protrudes. The recesses in both the flow displacement bodies have the same size. One of the flow displacement bodies is longer in the direction of flow of the scavenging air than the other flow displacement body. The longer flow displacement hollow body has a smaller cross-section in the segment facing the other flow displacement body than in the rest of the segment. The flow displacement body partially separates two flow spaces for scavenging air. Both the flow spaces are separable from each other by closable inlet ports.

Abstract: A melt of nickel nitrate hydrate is introduced as droplets or liquid flow into a heated reaction vessel and thermally decomposed in a gas phase at a temperature of 1200°C or more and at an oxygen partial pressure equal to or below the equilibrium oxygen pressure of nickel-nickel oxide at that temperature to manufacture a highly crystalline fine nickel powder with an extremely narrow particle size distribution. The oxygen partial pressure during the thermal decomposition is preferably 10 -2  Pa or less, and a metal other than nickel, a semimetal and/or a compound of these may be added to the nickel nitrate hydrate melt to manufacture a highly crystalline nickel alloy powder or highly crystalline nickel composite powder. The resultant powder is suited in particular to thick film pastes such as conductor pastes for manufacturing ceramic multilayer electronic components.
