  • Identification of reagins in the blood serum of allergen sensitized vertebrates
    Patent number: 4696907
    Abstract: The disclosure is a method for the in-vitro detection and identification of reagins in the blood serum of allergen sensitized vertebrates. The method comprises admixing the blood serum of the vertebrate with solid, porous carrier particles bearing surface adsorbed, known allergens. An agglutination reaction indicates the presence of reagins corresponding to the surface adsorbed allergen.

  • Assembly for determining light transmissiveness of a fluid
    Patent number: 4498782
    Abstract: The disclosure is of an assembly for determining light transmissiveness of a fluid. The assembly comprises a light source, means of holding the fluid in a light-shielded path of the light generated and a means for receiving and measuring the attenuated light passed through the fluid sample. The assembly is simple and highly portable. As such it is convenient for use with little training in places such as a physician's office, for measuring substances in immunoassay reaction mixtures.
