  • PENETRABLE CAP HAVING AN ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20080047371
    Abstract: A cap including a penetrable material adapted to be pierced by a fluid transfer device and an absorbent material positioned above the penetrable material. The absorbent material permits passage of the fluid transfer device and absorbs fluid material present on an outer surface of the fluid transfer device as it is being removed from the cap. The cap is useful for accessing the contents of an associated fluid-holding vessel multiple times.

  • Fluorescent lipid polymer-macromolecular ligand compositions
    Patent number: 5618735
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the detection of analytes. The method employs a fluorescence production layer which comprises a fluorescent polymerized polyunsaturated lipid layer in association with a ligand which is a member of a specific binding pair, where the ligand is competitive with the analyte for the complementary binding member or is a complementary binding member. By providing for a fluorescence modulation reagent which binds to the fluorescence production layer in proportion to the amount of analyte in the sample, by measuring the resulting fluorescence after carrying out the assay methodology, the amount of analyte can be determined quantitatively.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 1995
    Date of Patent: April 8, 1997
    Assignee: Biocircuits Corporation
