  • Publication number: 20160347147
    Abstract: A vehicle cab includes a climate control unit for an agricultural working vehicle. The climate control unit supplies a quantity of air that is conditioned by means of the climate control unit, at least with respect to temperature, into a space of the vehicle cab. The vehicle cab also includes an exhaust air path associated with the space in order to remove a quantity of exhaust air from the space of the vehicle cab.

  • Patent number: 7888074
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a device for duplicating and characterizing nucleic acids almost simultaneously and with a high sample throughput rate. The device consists of a chamber body with a recess whose edge sealingly holds an optically transparent chip. Said chip holds nucleic acids in individual spots on a detection surface. The chamber body is placed on an optically transparent chamber support with a bearing surface, in such a way that a capillary gap, which can be filled with a liquid sample, is formed between the detection surface of the chip facing towards the chamber support and said chamber support. The chamber body is provided with an inlet and an outlet, which are spatially separate from each other, and has a space, which laterally encompasses the chip and which has a gas reservoir. The chamber support is provided with heating elements.

  • Publication number: 20060147996
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device for substance libraries which can be used, more particularly, for the detection of target molecules with the aid of substance libraries. Said device comprises: (i) a holder for a substance library carrier; (ii) a substance library carrier, which can be fixed to the holder; and (iii) a detection area applied to the substance library carrier, whereon a substance library is immobilized; and wherein at least one substance library carrier can be introduced into a laboratory reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20050147984
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for detecting interactions between probe molecules and target molecules, whereby marking target molecules is not required. The invention further concerns probe arrays and kits suited to such a method, as well as a method for production, quality control and standardization of probe arrays.

  • Publication number: 20030215891
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for qualitatively and/or quantitatively detecting certain molecular targets using probe arrays. The inventive detection method comprises a reaction which delivers a product with a particular solubility product, this solubility product causing the precipitation or the formation of a precipitate of the product on an array element of the probe array on which an interaction has taken place between the probe and the target.
