  • METHOD AND KIT FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY DETECTING A PLURALITY OF DIFFERENT PATHOGENS IN A SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20230383367
    Abstract: A method for detecting a plurality of different pathogens in a sample. The method includes a pre-enrichment step of adding the sample to a pre-enrichment medium so as to obtain a pre-enriched sample, a lysis step of breaking open cell walls of the plurality of different pathogens in the pre-enriched sample so as to provide a lysate, and a detection step of detecting the plurality of different pathogens via a multiplex PCR investigation. The pre-enrichment step, the lysis step, and the detection step are performed in the order specified. The lysis step is terminated before the detection step without increasing temperature.

  • Method for depositing a CdTe layer on a substrate
    Patent number: 11217720
    Abstract: A method for depositing a CdTe layer on a substrate in a vacuum chamber by means of physical gas phase deposition is provided. The substrate is heated to a coating temperature before the deposition process and then guided past a vessel in which CdTe is converted into a vapour state, a gaseous component with an increased pressure (compared to the vacuum in the vacuum chamber) flowing through at least one inlet, against the substrate surface to be coated, such that the gaseous component is adsorbed on the substrate surface to be coated before the substrate is guided past the at least one vessel.
