Abstract: A method for marking a substrate with a unique library of nucleic acid sequence tags includes providing a library of nucleic acid sequence tags, including at least two different groups of nucleic acid sequence tags that each include multiple nucleic acid sequence tags. Each nucleic acid sequence tags has a defined nucleic acid motif in at least a first and a second characteristic position, and outside of characteristic positions a random nucleic acid sequence is present. The combination of the nucleic acid motifs of the at least first characteristic position and the at least second characteristic position of a nucleic acid sequence tag is characteristic and unique for the group of nucleic acid sequence tags. The substrate is marked with the unique nucleic acid library by applying the nucleic acid sequence tag library. A packaging article and different kits for applying and validating a substrate tagged are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluorescent dye of general formula I or II wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently hydrogen or a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, functionally substituted, or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical, wherein at least one of the R1 or R2 radicals and one of the R3 or R4 radicals is not hydrogen and the R1 and R3 radicals and/or R2 and R4 radicals in formula I can be bridged to each other, and X and Y independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 or C2 hydrocarbon radical wherein any one carbon unit can be replaced by an N or S heteroatom. The dye is remarkable for its high fluorescence intensity and large Stokes shift in combination with a long fluorescence lifetime.

Abstract: A method for determining a linear relationship in a set of measured data is provided. A set of measured values for at least two measured variables from the set of measured data is selected, and a respective measurement uncertainty interval is assigned to each of the selected set of measured values. A set of hypothetical linear relationships is formed based at least in part on the selected set of measured values. Partial probabilities for the set of hypothetical linear relationships are determined and assigned to the set of hypothetical linear relationships. A total probability is determined for at least a portion of the hypothetical linear relationships by summing the partial probabilities associated with the portion of the hypothetical linear relationships, and a rank of the set of hypothetical linear relationships is determined as a function of the total probabilities determined for the portion of the set of hypothetical linear relationships.
