Publication number: 20240150111Abstract: A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: PVPallet, Inc.Inventors: Luke Phelps, Steven Kottwitz, Bryan Kottwitz, Brian Trushinger

Patent number: 11859238Abstract: Improved methods for use in nucleic acid amplification, including multiplex amplification, where the amplification is carried out in two or more distinct phases are disclosed. The first phase amplification reaction preferably lacks one or more components required for exponential amplification. The lacking component is subsequently provided in a second, third or further phase(s) of amplification, resulting in a rapid exponential amplification reaction. The multiphase protocol results in faster and more sensitive detection and lower variability at low analyte concentrations. Compositions for carrying out the claimed methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: GEN-PROBE INCORPORATEDInventors: Norman C. Nelson, Lyle J. Arnold, Jr., Lizhong Dai, Steven Phelps, Jijumon Chelliserry
