  • Biosensors including lipid bilayer doped with ion channels anchored to a recording electrode by bridging molecules
    Patent number: 5204239
    Abstract: Biosensors for qualitative and quantitative analysis comprise an amphipathic liquid crystalline membrane composed of a lipid bilayer attached to a recording electrode via bridging anchoring molecules. The lipid bilayer is doped with biologic or synthetic ion channels and is in continuous contact with a bulk aqueous medium on both its surfaces. The bridging anchoring molecules may contain a phospholipid moiety linked to a polyoxylakylene chain terminated with a thiol or thioether residue.

  • Assay for amoebae and probes for use therein
    Patent number: 5071742
    Abstract: An assay for the determination of the presence or absence of E. histolytica and for differentiation of these from other types of amoebae, as well as for the determination of whether the E. histolytica belongs to a symptomatic or asymptomatic strain, is carried out by means of a DNA-probe adapted to selectively hybridize only to the DNA of the amoeba tested. The probes being used selectively hybridize with, and thus diagnose the presence of, symptomatic (pathogenic) and asymptomatic (non-pathogenic) strains, respectively.
