Abstract: A composite polymer-coated sorbent with a bidisperse or oligodisperse distribution of pore sizes and having an at least partial coating on its surface, which coating comprises essentially polyanilines or derivatives of polyanilines and use thereof for the simultaneous separation and desalting of bio-macromolecules.

Abstract: A method of rapid detection of influenza viruses and/or virus particles comprising a hemagglutinin and a neuraminidase component, said method comprising the steps of: a) binding the viruses and/or virus particles to a support containing at least one type of carbohydrate receptor selected from the group consisting of natural or synthetic oligosaccharide, which is conjugated to, or situated in composition with glycoproteins like glycophorin, a1-acid glycoprotein, a2-macroglobulin, ovomucoid, and combinations thereof which carbohydrate receptor binds to the hemagglutinin component of the viruses and/or virus particles; b) reacting the neuraminidase component of the bound viruses and/or virus particles with its labelled enzyme substrate, causing the generation of a detectable signal; and c) detecting the signal generated in step b).

Abstract: A method for isolating RNA from RNA containing samples wherein the RNA containing sample is treated with at least one DNase and/or another enzyme like proteases or collagenases for purification of RNA in presence of a complex of ribonucleosides and the oxovanadyl ion which is capable of inhibiting RNases present in the RNA containing samples and removing the complex of ribonucleosides and the oxovanadyl ion prior to down-stream processing of the RNA of the RNA containing sample by contacting the sample of the forgoing step with a chelating agent immobilized to a support, the chelating agent having sufficient affinity to the complex of ribonucleosides and the oxovanadyl ion so that it binds to the chemical entity and the RNA containing sample is freed from the inhibitor.
