  • Hydrolysis-resistant polyacrylamide gels
    Patent number: 10119934
    Abstract: Polyacrylamide gels that offer high resolution in protein separations and are more stable relative to hydrolysis than conventional polyacrylamide gels that rely on Tris or Tris-Bis as buffering agents are made by incorporating triethanolamine in place of most or all of the Tris or Tris-Bis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 6, 2018
    Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.

  • ASSAY PERFORMANCE SYSTEMS INCLUDING AQUEOUS SAMPLE STABILIZATION
    Publication number: 20180209874
    Abstract: An assay performance system may include modules configured to store aqueous sample plates, conduct droplet generation or emulsification of aqueous samples, and to perform thermocycling and droplet reading functions. One or more samples may be emulsified and stored in an emulsified state for extended times prior to thermocycling. Accordingly, the assay performance system may include material handling systems and methods to accommodate the storage function.
