Patent number: 7445844Abstract: An improved method of making a series of bead or microsphere or particle populations characterized by subtle variation in a proportion or ratio of at least two fluorescent dyes distributed within a single bead of each population is provided. These beads, when excited by a single excitation light source are capable of giving off several fluorescent signals simultaneously. A set containing as many as 64 distinct populations of multicolored, fluorescent beads is provided and when combined with analytical reagents bound to the surface of such beads is extremely useful for multiplexed analysis of a plurality of analytes in a single sample. Thus, methods of staining polymeric particles, the particles themselves, and methods of using such particles are claimed.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2005Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Luminex CorporationInventors: Don J. Chandler, Van S. Chandler, Beth A. Lambert, Janet J. Reber, Stacie L. Phipps

Publication number: 20080115304Abstract: The Detangle hairbrush addresses the problem of removing the tangles from one's hair without pulling the hair loose from your scalp by moving the bristles in the same direction at the same time in a rapid back and forth motion the bristles will shake the strands of hair loose from the tangle instead of pulling them free from one's head as in the case of the fixed bristle hairbrush. The hairbrush handle consist of a cylinder or square shaped grip to accommodate the batteries, motor, gears, and pushrod that make up the drive system for the bristle plate. The head portion of the handle has C-shaped channels protruding downward from the long sides of the rectangular shaped head of the handle having the channels parallel and pointing toward the center creating rails for the bristle plate to ride on.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2007Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventor: Randall L.

Publication number: 20070276322Abstract: The invention includes a device having a chamber within a syringe. A fluid passageway extends through a syringe piston. A valve is associated with the passageway controlling fluid passage through the piston. The invention includes a piercing structure having a head segment and a body portion, with a channel through the body portion and through at least one surface of the head without passing through the tip. In another aspect the invention encompasses a method of preparing an agent for administration to an individual. A first component is provided within a syringe and a second component is provided within a vial. A closed valve is associated with a fluid passageway between the vial and the syringe barrel through a piston. Valve repositioning allows fluid passage and sliding of the piston joins the first and second components. Repeated sliding of the piston mixes the components to produce the medication agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicant: HYPROTEK, INC.Inventors: Patrick Tennican, Russell Michaelsen, L.

These beads, when excited by a single excitation light source are capable of giving off several fluorescent signals simultaneously. A set containing as many as 64 distinct populations of multicolored, fluorescent beads is provided and when combined with analytical reagents bound to the surface of such beads is extremely useful for multiplexed analysis of a plurality of analytes in a single sample. Thus, methods of staining polymeric particles, the particles themselves, and methods of using such particles are claimed.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Inventors: Don J.
