Abstract: A method for detecting the presence or absence of a target polynucleotide in a sample is described.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, methods and kits for determining the presence, absence, amount, copy number, or other characteristics of one or more polynucleotide sequences in two or more samples and use thereof in genotyping, evaluation of copy number variation, expression analysis, determination of splice variants and fusion genes, and other genetic analyses.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of determining the presence or absence of a plurality of target polynucleotides in a sample including combining a sample that may comprise one or more of the plurality of target polynucleotides with a plurality of sets of complementary polynucleotides; incubating the polynucleotides under conditions that allow hybridization of complementary sequences; joining the first and second complementary polynucleotides to form one or more product polynucleotides; and detecting the presence or absence of one or more product polynucleotides to determine the presence or absence of one or more of the plurality of target polynucleotides in the sample.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combination blade and blade holder for performing a plurality of laboratory applications. The combination blade and blade holder comprises a blade having an elongated body portion with a front surface, a rear surface, a first edge and a second edge joined by way of a pair of opposing side edges, a blade cutting edge extending along the first edge and a blade handle formed along the second edge and the blade holder comprising a holder body having a top edge, a bottom edge, a front surface, a rear surface, a proximal end and a distal end, and a retaining flap positioned at the proximal end to receive and hold the blade firmly. The blade, the blade handle, the blade holder and the retaining flap are designed in such a way to hold the blade in position for performing the plurality of laboratory applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detergent composition comprising a gel wholly or predominantly in hexagonal liquid crystal phase, said gel comprising:(a) from about 15% to about 50% ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant by weight of the gel, wherein the alkyl group of the ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant has an average from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms, and wherein the ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant has an average degree of ethoxylation from about 0.5 to about 15;(b) from about 1% to about 20%, by weight of the gel, secondary sulfonate surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyltoluene sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, alpha-sulfonated fatty acid alkyl esters, and mixtures thereof;(c) optionally from 0% to about 15% other surfactants by weight of the gel;(d) from about 40% to about 80% water by weight of the gel;(e) from about 0.

Abstract: Laundry detergent compositions essentially free of inorganic phosphate detergency builders and containing from about 3% to about 60% by weight of water-insoluble sodium aluminosilicate or organic detergency builder components and from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid or salts thereof have enhanced organic stain removal characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to bodies containing bleach activators. The bodies comprise specific peroxygen bleach activators and select binder or enrobing materials. When formulated in such bodies the peroxygen bleach activators have excellent storage stability and maintain excellent dispersibility in wash water.

Abstract: Antiperspirant compositions containing tetrakis-(trialkylsiloxy)-titanate or zirconate compounds as antiperspirant agents.

Abstract: Cementitious concrete compositions with improved compressive strength comprising a cellulose acetate sulfate set-retarding compressive strength increasing agent are provided.
