Abstract: An air circuit (50) communicates with a cycling, bi-directional or intermittent pressure source (30), splitting the output of the pressure source (30) into two channels (56, 57, 58, 59). One channel (58, 59) continues to cycle bi-directional or intermittent pressure, and a second channel (56, 57) employs a one-way valve (54) allowing output of vacuum only. In one embodiment, this circuit (50) can be used to actuate unidirectional, pulsating human breast milk expression devices (10) that use vacuum to draw milk, while massaging the breast with pulsating pressure. The air circuit (50) preferably includes an additional one-way valve (66), which is located upstream of the one-way negative pressure valve (54), for relief of excess positive pressure within the circuit (50). The negative channel output (56, 57) of the air circuit (50) can contain a pressure regulation apparatus for end-user control of negative pressure (56V, 57V) to the expression devices (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Quantification in a straightforward manner in an mRNA expression analysis is accomplished by using biotinylated oligo d(T) and coupling to a solid support (e.g., streptavidin-derivatized magnetic beads). Labeled targets specific to certain mRNAs of interest that are to be identified and quantified are added to a biological sample containing the mRNAs and biotinylated oligo d(T). The beads are preferably added after hybridization, but may be earlier added. Following attachment to the beads, unbound and non-specifically bound targets and non-mRNA material are removed by successive stringent washings. All the mRNA material is then cluted from the beads by subjection to conditions that separate the poly A and the oligo d(T), and the original mRNAs are then degraded by basic hydrolysis to leave single-strand synthetic targets, which are then hybridized to their specific probes suitably carried on a microarray. The probes and the targets are of synthetic designs, and because all affinity reactions, including hybridization reactions between the targets and the mRNAs, are finalized when the mRNA is bound to the solid substrate, purification of adducts can be performed by simple washings in combination with magnetic separation, avoiding any potentially laborious and time-consuming column separation, filter preparation, centrifugation or precipitation.
