  • Patent number: 10203333
    Abstract: The invention relates to electronically neutral metal complexes as luminescent labels. The positive charge of the metal ion in the complex is neutralized by the negatively charged groups that are covalently linked to the nitrogen-containing diimine ligands, such as 2,2-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and their derivatives. The electronic neutrality reduces the impact of the metal complexes on the biological and/or biochemical activities of the labeled biomolecules, while the intensity of luminescent emission under electrochemical excitation is enhanced. These luminescent metal complex labels are useful in bioanalytic methodology development, with luminescence as the signal modality, such as electrochemiluminescence.

  • Patent number: 9074054
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solid-liquid composite material, a manufacturing method and an application of the same. Liquid-phase material, solid-phase material, and solvent are distributed to form a distributed system. The solid-phase material and liquid-phase material in the solvent can be suspensions, emulsions, microemulsions, colloids, or solutions. A portion or all of the solvent is removed to produce the solid-liquid composite material. The liquid-phase material is approximately equal to 1%˜80% of the total mass of the solid-liquid composite material. The porosity of the solid-phase material is approximately equal to 10%˜80% in the solid-liquid composite material. The specific surface area of the porous material is approximately equal to 50˜2000 cm2/cm3. The field-chromatic material is added to the solid-liquid composite material to form a field-chromatic device.
