  • Methods and compositions for the detection of bacterial species
    Publication number: 20050064451
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions, methods and kits for the PCR-based detection of bacterial species. Methods are provided for increasing the specificity of a PCR-based bacterial assay. More specifically, primer sets and PCR-based assays are provided that amplify and detect conserved 16S rRNA gene sequences from multiple Mycoplasma species. The invention also provides kits for performing those assays, and compositions comprising oligonucleotide primers useful in those assays.

  • Viewable specimen packaging system and method
    Publication number: 20050000841
    Abstract: A specimen package includes a top, a first side, connected to the top, a bottom, connected to the first side, and a second side, connected to the bottom. The package also includes therein an internal separator. The internal separator forms a first compartment and a second compartment within the package. The top includes a window for viewing the first compartment. The bottom includes a second window for viewing the second compartment. The top, the first side, the bottom, the second side, and the internal separator can all be formed by folding a shaped planar sheet. The first compartment can contain a specimen, placeable within the first compartment. The second compartment can contain a label, placeable within the second compartment. The specimen is viewable through the first window, and the label is viewable through the second window.
