Abstract: Methods and insulator electrode devices for performing electrochemical reactions are disclosed. The devices consist of high specific surface area electrodes based on a channeled conducting base material that has been coated with an organic or inorganic insulating film or multiple layers of such films. The chemical reactions are exemplified by exciting one or several label compounds into an excited state which is spontaneously de-excited by emission of ultraviolet, visible or infrared light, in aqueous solution. This provides the basis for reproducible analytical applications in bioaffinity assays such as immunoassays and DNA-probing assays.

Abstract: The inventions deals with determination of the human hemochromatosis gene (HFE) mutation (C282Y of HFE protein), responsible for the disease of hereditary hemochromatosis. The invention is important in diagnosis and risk assessment for this disease. The method consists of a single-tube high-throughput PCR assay for the detection of C282Y. We invented that it is advantageously possible to combine three concepts each known separately in prior art from different sources: allele specific PCR, mutagenically separated PCR, and amplicon identification by specific dissociation curves. Analysis can be performed in either a conventional or fluorescence-detecting thermocycler using the same primers, reactant constituents and cycling protocol. PCR products are identified either by their length or melting temperature (Tm). Primer cross reactions are prevented by deliberate primer: primer and primer: template mismatches.

Abstract: The excitation of label molecules usable in chemical and biochemical analysis by electrical pulses at electrodes covered with a thin insulating film, and the use of such electrodes in chemical, clinical and biochemical analysis. The electrodes include a conducting base material that has been coated with an organic or inorganic insulating film or multiple layers of such films, so that either one or several label compounds can be excited to an excited state which is deexcited by emission of ultraviolet, visible or infrared light, in aqueous solution providing the basis for reproducible analytical applications in bioaffinity assays such as immunoassays and DNA-probing assays.
