Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improved light-based assays, especially ligand binding assays, in which light is emitted from moieties stimulated by stimulating moieties.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the detection of analytes in high volumetric flow applications. Particular embodiments relate to the use of fluorescence polarization/anisotropy based for detection of analytes in a flow cell. In one testing format, an analyte of interest is probed with reagents containing fluorescent labeled recognition elements. When present in a sample or portion of a sample, thee labeled analyte produces a shift in fluorescence polarization/anisotropy/intensity/lifetime as the output signal following the binding of the recognition elements to the analytes.

Abstract: Assay compositions and methods for detection of analytes that include covalent modification of assay elements, such that they are preserved, destroyed, created, or immobilized. Methods for detecting an analyte in a biological sample. The method includes providing a mixture of a biological sample potentially containing the analyte, and a molecular recognition element physically coupled to a covalent modification agent, wherein the molecular recognition element is capable of specific recognition of the analyte, and exposing the mixture to a first set of reaction conditions, wherein the analyte and molecular recognition element can associate to form a recognition complex. Upon formation of the recognition complex, the method further includes generating by use of the covalent modification agent, a template complex; and exposing the template complex to a second set of reaction conditions, wherein the template complex is amplified to generate a detectable product indicative of the presence of the analyte.

Abstract: A methodology for bioassays and diagnostics in which a particulate label (ranging in size from nm-scale molecular assemblages to organisms on the scale of tens or hundreds of microns), such as, but not limited to, nanoparticles, bacteria, bacteriophage, Daphnia, and magnetic particles, serve carriers for analytes bound by molecular recognition elements such as antibodies, aptamers, etc. The described methodology is generally applicable to most pathogen assays and molecular diagnostics and also leads to enhanced sensitivity and convenience of use.
