  • Publication number: 20220041348
    Abstract: A lid for covering a container has a lid body having a peripheral connection for connecting to the container, a first hole in the lid body, the first body having a first shape, a second hole in the lid body, the second hole having a second shape that is different from the first shape, and a slidable cover member that slides in a groove formed in the lid body between a covered position and an uncovered position to selectively cover and uncover the first hole. The lid includes a pivoting plug that pivots in a space between the ramps between a plugged position and an unplugged position to selectively plug the second hole.

  • Publication number: 20080233616
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of variants of a protein in an in vitro evolution method, comprising the steps: (A) provision of an in vitro expression system comprising (i) a nucleic acid sequence S which codes for a protein Y which is to be varied, (ii) a target molecule X which is able to bind to the protein Y and/or at least one variant Y? thereof, (iii) an RNA polymerase (Pol) which is able to transcribe the nucleic acid sequence S, (iv) a reverse transcriptase (RT) which is capable of reverse transcription of transcripts of the nucleic acid sequence S, where either the target molecule X is coupled to Pol and the protein Y is coupled to RT, or the target molecule X is coupled to RT and the protein Y is coupled to Pol, (B)incubation of the in vitro expression system from (A) under conditions which enable transcription, reverse transcription and translation to form variants Y? of the protein Y and nucleic acid sequences S? coding therefor, and which favor the formation of variants Y? with i
