  • Publication number: 20140206569
    Abstract: Encoded microcarriers, and more specifically microcarriers having codes written on them. Methods for writing the codes on the microcarriers, methods of reading the codes, and methods of using the encoded microcarriers. A preferred method of encoding the microcarriers involves exposing microcarriers containing a bleachable substance to a high spatial resolution light source to bleach the codes on the microcarriers. The encoded microcarriers may be used, for example, as support materials in chemical and biological assays and syntheses.

  • Patent number: 7045312
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to reporter molecules and tags that may be used to monitor a target substance in a biological system. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of an apo metal binding protein as a reporter molecule or tag. An apo metal binding protein may be bound to a protein or tissue or introduced into a cell. The invention also relates to methods of utilizing the apo metal binding protein for detecting a cell expressing a protein of interest, localizing a protein in a cell, and designing a therapeutic agent for treating a disease or infection.

  • Publication number: 20020081629
    Abstract: A method for the rapid screening of analytes, such as potential drug candidates, comprises the steps of applying a plurality of analytes to be screened onto one or more, solid support(s) (61) such that the analytes remain isolated from one another; contacting said analyte-carrying solid support(s) (61) with targets provided in a semi-solid or liquid medium, whereby said analytes are released from the solid support(s) (61) to the targets; and measuring analyte-target interactions. This method allows for the manipulation of thousands of different analytes simultaneously. When the analyte is applied to the solid support (61) it can diffuse thereon so as to produce a concentration gradient and serial dilution of analyte if a dose response curve for a candidate drug is required. The method described can be readily automated.

  • Patent number: 5394805
    Abstract: The sabot (16) relates to a projectile (11) which can be accelerated in an accelerator comprising a tubular preaccelerator followed by RAM acceleration tubes. It consists of an outer band (18) which is designed in a way to be attached to the radial fins (13) at the rear of the projectile (11) and to support the peripheral sealing elements (25) and a subcaliber base plate (31) of relatively small thickness, which is designed in such a way that it rests on the outer band (18) with its perimeter, and if necessary on the projectile base (7) with its center part, and that it separates from the projectile (11) and the outer band (18) before the projectile (11) enters into the acceleration tubes.
