Abstract: A temperature regulating device capable for environmentally adaptable transport of transporting temperature sensitive products is provided including an insulated casing having an interior portion and a temperature regulating device for maintaining the interior portion at a temperature range lower than ambient temperature exterior to the interior portion, wherein the temperature regulating device maintains the lower temperature without external power sources. The temperature device is personally portable and includes a backpack attachment for transporting by a single individual.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for making surface plasmon resonance-capable arrays wherein molecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, or cells, are adhered to a metal substrate. The metal substrates are modified by depositing an ?-modified alkanethiol monolayer to the substrate and then contacting the ?-modified monolayer with a heterobifunctional linking compound. Biomolecules or cells can then be attached to the heterobifunctional linking compound. Also disclosed are arrays wherein glutathione-containing molecules are immobilized on the substrate and GST-containing molecules are then specifically immobilized onto the substrate, taking advantage of the affinity between glutathione and GST.

Abstract: A low pressure blower operated airknife having a housing with an elongated primary air discharge orifice for directing a narrow width curtain of air. The airknife includes an air-augmenting shroud which defines auxiliary discharge orifices on opposite longitudinal sides of the primary air discharge orifice such that air discharging from the primary discharge orifice creates a low pressure condition adjacent the auxiliary air discharge orifices for drawing additional air through the auxiliary discharge orifices which augments the velocity and volume of the discharging air current without the necessity for increasing the air inlet pressure or blower size. The shroud may take alternative forms, including pairs of wings disposed on opposite sides of the primary discharge orifice or hollow structures that surround the airknife housing. The airknife further is adapted for low pressure direction and application of air laden particles, such as preatomized liquid particles.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for making surface plasmon resonance-capable arrays wherein molecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, or cells, are adhered to a metal substrate. The metal substrates are modified by depositing an &ohgr;-modified alkanethiol monolayer to the substrate and then contacting the &ohgr;-modified monolayer with a heterobifunctional linking compound. Biomolecules or cells can then be attached to the heterobifunctional linking compound. Also disclosed are arrays wherein glutathione-containing molecules are immobilized on the substrate and GST-containing molecules are then specifically immobilized onto the substrate, taking advantage of the affinity between glutathione and GST.
