    Inventors: Stephanie Fulmer-Smentek, Anne Lucas, Erik Bjeldanes, Petula D'Andrade
  • Single primer PCR amplification of RNA
    Publication number: 20030165885
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for amplifying RNA sequences by (a) hybridizing to a target RNA a first primer comprising a 3′ target RNA hybridizing sequence and a first 5′ defined amplifyable sequence; (b) extending the first primer with a reverse transcriptase to form a first cDNA strand; (c) hybridizing to the first cDNA strand a second primer comprising a 3′ random cDNA hybridizing sequence and a second 5′ defined amplifyable sequence; (d) extending the second primer with a DNA polymerase to form a second cDNA strand; and (e) amplifying the second cDNA strand with a third primer comprising the first 5′ defined amplifyable sequence.

  • Microarray hybridization chamber
    Patent number: 6613529
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for mixing a film of fluid, particularly a film of chemical, biochemical, or biological fluids, undergoing a reaction. The apparatus comprises a means for creating a bubble within the film of fluid, and moving the bubble in the fluid, thereby mixing the fluid.
    Type: Grant

  • Normalization control for hybridization reactions
    Patent number: 6423535
    Abstract: Methods are provide for quantitatively determining the amount of polynucleotides in a sample. In one method, the distinct polynucleotide targets and standard polynucleotide targets are contacted with detectable probes and independently detectable single or double stranded complements to the standard targets under hybridization conditions. The hybridization pattern from the probe is compared to the hybridization pattern from the standard sequences to obtain quantitative information about the genetic profile of the labeled nucleic acid sample. Also provided are kits for the use of the methods.
