  • High surface area substrates for microarrays and methods to make same
    Patent number: 7195872
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a substrate having a plurality of microfeatures that provide a high surface area and are open to provide ready access to fluids and components therein. Methods of making the high surface area substrates are described and include generating microfeatures and/or microstructures on the surface of the substrate.
    Type: Grant

  • Identification and sorting of plant heterokaryons
    Patent number: 4300310
    Abstract: To label heterokaryons formed by fusion of different somatic tissue cells, somatic tissue cells from one plant are immersed in a first solution including polysaccharidase and fluorescein isothiocyanate and somatic tissue cells from a different plant are immersed in a second solution including polysaccharidase and rhodamine isothiocyanate for a period of from 12 to 18 hours, after which protoplasts emerge, with those from one plant fluorescing green-yellow and those from the other fluorescing orange-red. The protoplasts are then fused in a polyethylene glycol solution. The heterokaryons are identified and sorted by a commercial cell sorter which relies upon the fluorescence from both markers.
