  • Publication number: 20230393125
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for determining free antigen of an antibody in an undiluted serum sample comprising the steps of a) applying the undiluted sample to a solid phase on which a capture antibody has been immobilized to form a capture antibody-antigen complex, wherein the capture antibody competes with the antibody for binding to a first epitope on the antigen, b) applying to the solid phase a tracer antibody to form a capture antibody-antigen-tracer antibody complex, wherein the tracer antibody specifically binds to a second epitope on the antigen, wherein the epitope of the tracer antibody is not overlapping with the epitope of the capture antibody on the antigen, and c) determining the free antigen of the antibody by determining the tracer antibody in the capture antibody-antigen-tracer antibody complex.

  • Publication number: 20230311217
    Abstract: A method for releasing a screw connection between a core drilling device and a drill bit, wherein the screw connection is released by application of torque spikes to the drive shaft of the core drilling device, these torque spikes coming into effect when the drive shaft is driven counter to the actual drilling direction of the core drilling device. A core drilling device with which the proposed method can be carried out is also provided. To this end, the core drilling device includes a drive shaft to which torque spikes can be applied, wherein the drive shaft can be driven in a drilling direction and a second direction of rotation which is opposite to the drilling direction.
