Title: Process for lysing mycobacteria
Inventor: DOWN JAMES A
IPC: C12Q1/6806
Filed: 1995-06-30
Granted: 2000-11-14
Abstract: The invention provides a rapid process for lysing Mycobacteria. In one embodiment is provided a process for lysing Mycobacteria which comprises exposing the bacteria to a lysis effective amount of heat. A particularly effective method for providing the necessary heat is in the form of forced hot air such as in a forced hot air oven. The process of the invention is particularly advantageous since only one step is involved, it is expedient compared to prior methods, and little instrumentation is necessary. By practicing the present invention it is possible to lyse Mycobacteria with minimal effort. In addition, practicing the invention results in liberating cellular components including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from Mycobacteria. Not only is DNA liberated, but the DNA is suited for subsequent analysis by way of probe hybridization, restriction enzyme analysis, and the like.

Abstract: In a projection type image display apparatus, the screen is divided and a memory to record luminance correction data corresponding to the divided regions is provided, and addresses of the divided regions of the screen are set by an address counter, synchronized with the input video signal. The luminance correction data are read successively by inputting the addresses to the memory, and luminance nonuniformity on the screen is corrected through operational processing of the correction value converted in an analog value by a D/A converter and the input video signal. The luminance correction data is obtained by computing measurement results of respective luminance characteristics of red, green, and blue colors on the screen and separately recorded as an amplitude correction component and a DC level correction component. By multiplying and adding the correction data to the input video signal respectively, nonuniformities in luminance and color from low luminance level to high luminance level can be precisely corrected. Also, as the read start position and read direction of the memory can be set corresponding to sweep direction of a projection type image display apparatus, the projection direction to the screen in a projection type image display apparatus can be easily changed without affecting the operation of luminance correction.

Title: Reaction tube and method of use to minimize contamination
Inventor: HANLEY KATHLEEN A
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 1994-10-21
Granted: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A disposable reaction vessel for performing nu-cleic acid amplification assay. The disposable reac-tion vessel has a penetrable cap that can be pene-trated by an automated pipettor to aspirate a portion of an amplified reaction product. The disposable re-action vessel contains the reagents necessary to per-form a nucleic acid amplification assay. A patient speciment is added to the unit dose reagents in the disposable reaction vessel and the penetrable cap is closed. The disposable reaction vessel containing the reaction mixture and the specimen undergoes ampli-fication, typically by placing it in a thermal cycler. After amplification the intact disposable reaction ves-sel is transferred to an automated analyzer where an automated pipettor penetrates the closure membrane and aspirates a portion of the amplified sample for further processing, without removal of the reaction vessel cap. This avoids the generation of potentially contaminating aerosols or droplets.
