Publication number: 20160202189Abstract: Method for detecting transparent exopolymer particles in a water sample. The method comprises step of obtaining a water sample and introducing a fluorochromatic reagent to the water sample. The fluorochromatic reagent is specific to vicinal hydroxide groups of transparent exopolymer particles, whereby the fluorescence signal of the reagent changes when it comes into contact with transparent exopolymer particles, i.e. TEP. Finally the fluorescence signal from the water sample is detected and the TEP level of the sample is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2014Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Eija Saari, Kaisa Karisalmi, Mehrdad Hesampour, Heli Virkki, Miia Niemelä, Eija Korte

Publication number: 20070231258Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing peptide conjugates comprising a functional peptide, cyclic by means of a lactam bridge; a sulfur-linker bound to said cyclic peptide, wherein said sulfur-linker comprises sulfur or a sulfur-reactive site. The invention further relates to a method for synthesizing peptide-effector conjugates. The invention also relates to peptide conjugates. Peptide conjugates according to the present invention have improved half-life and increased availability at the active site and they are useful in cell targeting and tumor diagnosis and therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: KARYON CTT LTD.Inventors: Hannu Perakyla, Merja Huttunen, Eeva-Kaisa Karisalmi, Mathias Bergman, Hannu Elo
