  • METHODS FOR SCREENING COMPOUNDS FOR BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY AND FOR DETERMINING THE SENSITIVITY OF BACTERIAL SAMPLES
    Publication number: 20230304065
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening compounds for bactericidal activity using thermostable luciferase and based on a real-time bioluminescence measurement. The present invention further relates to a method for determining the sensitivity of a bacterial sample originating from a subject suffering from a bacterial infection to a group of known antibiotics and to a method for assessing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a bactericidal compound.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNTHESIZING PROTEIN FROM DNA MOLECULE CAPTURED IN MICROCHAMBER
    Publication number: 20130165348
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for synthesizing proteins from DNA molecules captured in microchambers, whereby the distance between microchambers can be shortened, thereby allowing the density of arrays to be increased. Microchambers (32) are arranged at a high density. A DNA solution (34) which has been diluted so as to capture one DNA molecule on average is enclosed in the microchambers (32). Then, mRNA is synthesized using one DNA molecule on average as a template. Based on this mRNA, a protein (37) is extracellularly synthesized.
