  • METHODS OF TRIGGERING ACTIVATION OF ENCAPSULATED SIGNAL-GENERATING SUBSTANCES AND APPARATUS UTILISING ACTIVATED SIGNAL-GENERATING SUBSTANCES
    Publication number: 20150104878
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for performing a bioassay, comprising activating capsules containing a signal precursor that is hydrolysable from a latent form in which substantially no signal is generated to a form in which it is able to generate a detectable signal, said activating comprising treating said capsules with heat and with an acid or a base catalysing solution, the combination of said heat and the pH of the catalysing solution being such as to hydrolyse said precursor to the form in which it is able to generate a detectable signal.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 30, 2012
    Publication date: April 16, 2015
    Applicant: SUPERNOVA DIAGNOSTICS INC.
    Inventors: Neil J. Campbell, Keith Edward Moravick, Joseph D. Penniman, Bruce J. Richardson
