  • Novel methods for determining the negative control value for multi-analyte assays
    Publication number: 20070148784
    Abstract: The present invention provides unique and advantageous methods for selecting the negative control value to be used as a correction to the results obtained when measuring the reaction of a complex biological mixture in a multi-analyte assay. The methods of the subject invention are particularly advantageous because the negative control value(s) is/are generated using the same sample that is also being analyzed for the presence of the analytes of interest.
    Type: Application

  • Molecular genetic identification using probes that recognize polymorphic loci
    Patent number: 5514547
    Abstract: Polynucleotide sequences and cloned DNA fragments useful for visualizing DNA polymorphism and other genetic analyses are disclosed herein. Specifically, polynucleotide probes and methods are employed to identify Variable Tandem Repeat (VTR) polymorphisms useful in paternity determination, forensics testing, disease diagnostics, cell line identification, ro chimerism/mosaicism determination as in distinguishing zygosity or following transplantation.
