Publication number: 20200270677Abstract: System, including methods, apparatus, and compositions, for performing amplification assays with an amplification reporter including a first oligomer and a second oligomer capable of base-pairing with one another below a melting temperature of the reporter. The reporter may have a detectable photoluminescence that is affected, such as reduced, by base-pairing of the first and second oligomers with one another. A target, such as a nucleic acid target sequence, may be amplified in at least one volume, such as a plurality of partitions, above the melting temperature, and photoluminescence of the reporter may be detected from the at least one volume below the melting temperature. A property of the target, such as a concentration of the target, may be determined based on the photoluminescence detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Applicant: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: John F. REGAN, Dianna MAAR, Dawne N. SHELTON, Tina C. LEGLER, Samantha COOPER, Wei YANG, Eli A. HEFNER, Niels KLITGORD

Patent number: 9868981Abstract: Methods and compositions for detecting an allelic form of a target. In an exemplary method, partitions may be created that collectively contain at least one first allelic form and a second allelic form of a target. Each partition may contain (i) a same probe capable of binding specifically to each of the first and second allelic forms of the target and (ii) a competitor configured to bind selectively to the second allelic form relative to the first allelic form and to block binding of the probe to the second allelic form. The first allelic form of the target may be amplified in the partitions. A signal may be detected from a label of the probe while the label is contained by the partitions. A number of partitions that are positive (or negative) for the at least one first allelic form may be determined based on the signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Samantha Cooper, Wei Yang, Jennifer Berman
