Publication number: 20130090470Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds that are substrates for an enzyme, and upon reaction with the enzyme provide a detectable response, such as an optically detectable response. In particular, the compounds have utility in detecting the presence of a ?-lactamase in a sample. In addition to the compounds, methods are disclosed for analyzing a sample for the presence of a ?-lactmase, for example, as an indicator of expression of a nucleic acid sequence including a sequence coding for a ?-lactmase. Kits are disclosed that include the disclosed compounds and additional components, for example, cells, antibodies, a ?-lactmase or instructions for using the components in an assay.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Schuyler CORRY, William Downey, Brian Filanoski, Kyle Gee, Lawrence Greenfield, James Hirsch, Iain Johnson, Aleksey Rukavishnikov

Patent number: 8297973Abstract: An intraoral device includes a one-piece, flexible, injection molded body made of a single homogeneous material. The body includes upper front and rear flaps, and lower front and rear flaps. Upper edges of the front flaps and lower edges of the lower flaps are sealed by respective upper and lower parts of a patient's mouth to form upper and lower evacuation channels when the body is disposed within the patient's mouth. Evacuation holes in the flaps are in communication with the evacuation channels. A connection section is in communication with the evacuation channels and is configured to extend outside of the patient's mouth to connect with a vacuum source for evacuating fluid from the patient's mouth through the evacuation holes and the evacuation channels.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Innerlite, Inc.Inventors: James A. Hirsch, Thomas R. Hirsch
