Abstract: A functional group and spacer group modified polymer composition, articles incorporating the composition, and methods for label-independent-detection using the articles, as defined herein.

Abstract: A method and apparatus, as defined herein, for use in compound screening, compound profiling, or both assays, for example, against two different cellular targets in, for example, a single cell-type.

Abstract: A motor system having a motor and an encoder is built using a metal bellows coupling for anti-rotation of encoder housing with high torsional stiffness and capacity to survive large radial and axial misalignment (both static and dynamic) in a very compact space.

Abstract: Described herein are spotting solutions and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: A reagent system for printing, assaying, and processing nucleic acid microarrays is provided. The system comprises: a printing kit, which includes a nucleic acid spotting solution; and a hybridization kit, which includes a nucleic acid pre-hybridization solution, a nucleic acid hybridization solution, and first, second, and third wash reagents, wherein the respective constituent components of the printing and hybridization kits are stable and retain functional performance, when stored together at a temperature between about 10° C. to about 50° C. A background reducing agent or solution is also included. The present reagent solutions are optimized for use with glass substrates having preferably an amine-coating, such as GAPS.
