Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods of isolating nucleic acids. In particular the method comprises the use of a wash buffer comprising bivalent cations prior to elution of the nucleic acid.

Abstract: A sensor device for detecting at least one flow property of a fluid medium. The sensor device includes at least one sensor housing, in which at least one electronic module having at least one flow sensor for detecting the flow property is accommodated. The electronic module is at least partially accommodated in at least one electronic space. Furthermore, at least one pressure sensor and at least one humidity sensor are accommodated inside the sensor housing. The pressure sensor and also the humidity sensor are at least partially accommodated in at least one sensor space, which is designed separately from the electronic space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a confectionery product comprising the step of admixing a structured liquid comprising a thermodynamically stable mixture of water, surfactant, co-surfactant and a non-aqueous component.

Abstract: A wind guard can be applied from above over two rollover bars. The wind guard has two lateral pockets whose shapes are adapted to the contour of the rollover bars. A center part extends between the pockets which can be connected with the adjacent pockets by way of zippers. The wind guard has a simple construction, can be stored easily and, in a simple manner, allows the rolling-down of the center part, whereby the view toward the rear is improved in this area and the access to possibly existing depositing boxes or the like is also improved.

Abstract: A tacking device for surgery, preferably dental surgery, is disclosed for affixing membranes, which are impermeable to tissue cells, with tacking nails to bone. The tacking device has a plunger with an endwise holding device into which a tacking nail, having a head, is able to be inserted. The plunger is movable, directly or by a mechanical transfer element, in the direction of the holding device by a spring force. An untensioning of the spring is blocked by a release device in a releasable manner.
