The method comprises contacting the target molecule with one molecule of the multiplicity of different molecules in each of a multiplicity of containers, simultaneously heating the multiplicity of containers, measuring in each of the containers a physical change associated with the thermal denaturation of the target molecule resulting from the heating in each of the containers, generating a thermal denaturation curve for the target molecule as a function of temperature for each of the containers and determining a midpoint temperature (T m) therefrom, comparing the T m of each of the thermal denaturation curves with the T m of a thermal denaturation curve obtained for the target molecule in the absence of any of the molecules in the multiplicity of different molecules, and ranking the affinities of the multiplicity of different molecules according to the change in T m of each of the thermal denaturation curves.  The present invention also provides an assay apparatus for that includes a temperature adjusting means for simultaneously heating a plurality of samples, and a receiving means for receiving spectral emission from the samples while the samples are being heated. In further aspects of the invention, the receiving means can be configured to receive fluorescent emission, ultraviolet light, and visible light. The receiving means can be configured to receive spectral emission from the samples in a variety of ways, e.g., one sample at a time, simultaneously from more than one sample, or simultaneously from all of the samples. The temperature adjusting means can be configured with a temperature controller for changing temperature in accordance with a pre-determined profile.

IPC: A61C13/30
Filed: 1997-09-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a insert for filling the dental canal comprising means for anatomically and physiologically filling up the root canal (1), comprising a ductile and resilient core (10) made of a polymerised composite material, sheathed in one or several sleeves (14, 15) made of a composite material pre-impregnated with resin, being in a first pasty state previous to polymerisation so as to make the insert flexible and malleable before and during its introduction into the root canal (1). Said material is then capable of being polymerised at will by cross-linking means to be in a second polymerised state after the insert has been introduced in said canal. The upper part (17) of the insert which emerges from the root canal (1), can advantageously be used as prop or pivot for a coronal reconstitution. Thus, the same material is used for filling the root canal and for reinforcing the residual structures of the tooth. The canal obturator and the anchoring pivot are made of one and the same material.
