  • Method of making plasma enriched with platelets using a double syringe system where the second sytringe is within the first syringe and use thereof
    Patent number: 8052969
    Abstract: A method of providing autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) for treatment of connective tissue injuries. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing an apparatus comprising a centrifuge and a double syringe, the double syringe including an inner syringe body and an outer syringe body; (ii) drawing autologous blood into the outer syringe body; (iii) subjecting the autologous blood to at least one centrifugation step to obtain an autologous conditioned plasma (ACP); (iv) removing, with the inner syringe body, at least a portion of autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) from the outer syringe body; and (v) inject ACP for treatment of various cartilage or tendon damage or diseases.

  • TEST APPARATUS, PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR AND TEST METHOD
    Publication number: 20090061460
    Abstract: Test apparatus for detecting an analyte (A) contained in a sample liquid, comprising a dry porous carrier (10), on which a selective binder (12), capable of selectively binding the analyte (A) after the carrier (10) is wetted with the sample fluid, is arranged in a reaction zone (20), wherein furthermore arranged in the reaction zone (20) are: a complex, formed by a biomarker (B) and the first complexed reporter partner of a pair of reporters, interacting to produce an optically detectable signal, of reporter enzyme (E) and reporter substrate (S), and the second, free reporter partner of the pair of reporters, wherein the biomarker (B), in terms of the selectivity of the binding capacity of the selective binder (12), is equivalent to the analyte (A) and competitive therewith and wherein binding of the selective binder (12) to the complexed biomarker (B) impedes the interaction between the complexed and the free reporter partners.
