Patent CA-2582952-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VERITY BRUCE
IPC: G01N27/49
Filed: 2007-03-28
Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for determining analyte concentration in a rapid and accurate manner. The methods include depositing a physiological sample in an electrochemical cell and finding a first and second current transient.

Abstract: Lactic acid bacteria are screened by the surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy with the use of human intestinal mucin and blood type antigens as probes. To adapt to the mass-scaled screening, it is attempted to set selection standards for the screening of lactic acid bacteria as described above. As a result, it is found out that lactic acid bacteria respectively matching ABO blood types can be screened by using 100RU under definite conditions as the standard of binding of bacteria. 238 strains of lactic acid bacteria are subjected to this screening. Further, a test for examining the suitability for yogurt production is performed. Finally, strains matching individual blood types of A, B and O are clarified in practice.
