  • Publication number: 20040110196
    Abstract: A composition for forming a protective coating over the surface of an assay substrate having an indicating agent capable of generating a detectable signal associated therewith, includes a protective coating forming material, and a delivery system for delivering the protective coating forming material in an amount sufficient to coat the surface of the assay substrate, wherein the delivery system evaporates from the surface of the assay substrate to form a protective coating at least substantially composed of the protective coating forming material that is at least substantially transparent to the detectable signal generated by the indicating agent. The present invention is further directed to a method for forming the protective coating over the surface of the assay substrate, and a substrate produced by such method.

  • Publication number: 20040009487
    Abstract: Methods are provided for blocking non-specific and specific hybridization of nucleic acid samples on a microarray. The method of the present invention comprises applying a blocking reagent to the microarray, wherein the blocking reagent comprises modified nucleotide bases, preferably LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid—modified bicyclic monomeric units with a 2′-O-4′-C methylene bridge). In further embodiments, the method includes applying a mixture including: a) a cDNA reagent obtained from mRNA of a target sample, the cDNA having a capture sequence; b) a dendrimer with a label for emitting a detectable signal and a second nucleotide sequence complementary to the capture sequence; and c) an blocking reagent containing LNA to a microarray, for producing a detectable signal from said label whereby a hybridization pattern is generated on the microarray.
