  • Nucleic acid detection method and kit
    Patent number: 10465236
    Abstract: A method and kit for detecting a target nucleic acid is provided wherein combining an amplified nucleic acid with a particle such as a paramagnetic bead form a flocculated complex which can be detected by visual inspection. The volume of nucleic acid sample that can be detected is as low as a few microlitres. The method can be applied to in-the-field or point-of-care diagnosis for a rapid determination of the presence or absence of the target nucleic acid. The methylation status of a target nucleic acid can also be determined. The method and lit may have general applicability to detecting diseases in plants and animals, environmental testing and testing for contamination of foods and other edible products.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for reducing substrate warpage
    Patent number: 6988879
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for reducing warpage of a substrate undergoing a molding process, comprising a conveying device for transporting the substrate during molding and pressure means adapted to act on the substrate whereby to maintain the flatness of the substrate. Using the invention, it is possible to provide an apparatus and method which are usable with conventional substrates and which reduce reliance on material formulation to maintain flatness of the substrate.
