  • Publication number: 20210324487
    Abstract: Compositions, methods and kits for detecting Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) nucleic acids are for detecting very low levels of the viral nucleic acids using nucleic acid amplification. The kit includes a first primer up to 100 bases long and includes a target-complementary 3? terminal sequence of 15-48 contiguous bases. The first primer optionally may include a first primer 5? sequence (i.e., an upstream sequence) that is not complementary to CHIKV nucleic acids.

  • Patent number: 8615368
    Abstract: An automated analyzer for performing multiple diagnostic assays simultaneously includes multiple stations in which discrete aspects of the assay are performed on fluid samples contained in sample vessels. The analyzer includes stations for automatically preparing a sample, incubating the sample, preforming an analyte isolation procedure, ascertaining the presence of a target analyte, and analyzing the amount of a target analyte. An automated receptacle transporting system moves the sample vessels from one station to the next. A method for performing an automated diagnostic assay includes an automated process for isolating and amplifying a target analyte, and, in one embodiment, a method for real-time monitoring of the amplification process.

  • Patent number: 8275556
    Abstract: Method for quantifying analyte polynucleotide in a test sample using real-time amplification and adjustment of a stored calibration curve. The method may be practiced using as few as a single adjustment calibrator to adjust the stored curve. This simplifies the quantitative analysis procedure, while still providing the advantages of internal calibration adjustment to account for variation in amplification reaction efficiency.
