Abstract: Methods for processing electronic purchase orders and invoices from a single customer and a plurality of vendors may comprise receiving electronic purchase orders from a customer for a plurality of vendors; directing each of said electronic purchase order to a vendor account associated with each vendor; receiving an electronic invoice corresponding to each of said electronic purchase orders; and directing the electronic invoices to the customer account associated with the customer. Computer implemented methods may also allow vendors and customers to simultaneously access all outstanding purchase orders and invoices.

Abstract: A procedure to measure apoptosis in physiology and pathology in order to support clinical diagnosis and monitor efficacies of drugs and therapies. In particular a method for detecting and/or optionally quantifying and/or optionally isolating apoptotic cells in a sample, comprisingcontacting the sample with a detectable reagent having high affinity for phosphatidyl serine; andqualitatively and/or optionally quantitatively detecting cells that have reacted with the detectable reagent having high affinity for phosphatidyl serine preferably intact cells, detection occurring before or after an optional stepfor isolating apoptotic cells from non-apoptotic cells, which isolation can occur due to the fact that apoptotic cells have been provided with a detectable reagent having high affinity for phosphatidyl serine, the reagent also being selectable in a manner known per se. A suitable reagent having high affinity for phosphatidyl serine is a polypeptide or protein classified as an annexin.
