Abstract: This invention relates to imaging, such as by expansion microscopy, labelling, and analyzing biological samples, such as cells and tissues, as well as reagents and kits for doing so.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to new cross-linking reagents for incorporating proteins and nucleic acids into polyelectrolyte gels, for use in expansion microscopy and other methods.
Abstract: The invention relates to imaging, such as in situ imaging by expansion microscopy, labelling, and analyzing biological samples, such as formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) cells and tissues, as well as reagents and kits for doing so.
Abstract: The present invention employs the technique for expansion microscopy (E×M) utilizing anchorable derivatives of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue specimens within tissue samples, in order to achieve high resolution detection of biomolecules with precise morphological features of cells and nuclei, which in turn, allows for effective for accurate early stage disease diagnosis including various cancers. Staining with H&E employs anchorable derivatives that can be cross-linked into the E×M hydrogel matrix.

Abstract: The invention comprises a device for expanding tubular members to a controlled diameter and its method of fabrication. The device includes an expandable bladder held in a convoluted form. After the device is inserted into a cylindrical tube to be evenly expanded, the bladder is expanded by hydraulic pressure to a controlled maximum diameter. It is then deflated so the device can then be moved to another location and reused. The bladder is formed from a flexible impervious material having integral reinforcing fibers. It is initially formed in a fully expanded configuration over a convoluted mandrel and a removable cylindrical shell. When the shell is removed vacuum or external pressure draws the bladder against the mandrel. The bladder is overmolded with a resilient cover to hold it in reduced form until pressurized. The bladder cover prevents the bladder from kinking during the expansion.
