  • Scattered total internal reflectance immunoassay system
    Patent number: 5017009
    Abstract: A new immunoassay system is provided for the detection of ligands or ligand binding partners in solution in a heterogeneous format. The invention relies upon the detection of back scattered light from an evanescent wave disturbed by the presence of a colloidal gold label brought to the interface by an immunological reaction. The evanescent wave existing at the interface in turn is the result of a totally internally reflected incident light wave. Placement of the detector at a back angle above the critical angle insures a superior signal-to-noise ratio.

  • Antiflashing rollcoat coatings
    Patent number: 4851269
    Abstract: Industrial high speed paint rollercoating processes are improved by the addition of wax particles to thermosetting rollercoatings. Wax particles having a particle size less than 50 microns and a softening point above 175.degree. F. are dispersed into the rollercoating compositions to provide highly desirable antiflashing properties during the rollercoating process.
