  • Use of encoded reaction cassette
    Patent number: 6849398
    Abstract: A reaction cassette has been designed for the highly sensitive detection of the making and breaking of chemical bonds. The system may be employed as a companion device to be used in the search for antibody and other novel catalysts. The cassette also has important clinical applications in the design of diagnostic reagents. In its fully encoded format this methodology is capable of both detecting and decoding chemical events.

  • Substrate composition for multispectural imaging
    Publication number: 20030064409
    Abstract: Polymeric resins having unique spectral fingerprints are provided. The unique spectral fingerprints are produced by varying the co-monomers used to synthesize the resins. Each co-monomer has distinct spectral properties that are additive to produce the unique spectral fingerprints of the polymeric resins. Methods are also provided for use of the polymeric resins in self-deconvolution of combinatorial libraries.
