  • Arrangement of nucleic acid sequences for comparative genomic hybridization
    Patent number: 6197501
    Abstract: A method of determining the relative number of nucleic acid sequences in test cells which provides for a high resolution during comparative genomic hybridization by keeping all components separate from each other and selecting target nucleic acids which have a high resolution capability for determining genomic imbalances in the test cells and which facilitate a screening of the test cells for over- or under-expression of individual genes.

  • Application of cuts to biological material
    Patent number: 4748980
    Abstract: In a method for the application of cuts, perforations and/or microlesions to biological material, such as cell agglomerates, individual cells or chromosomes, by means of laser pulses fed into a microscope, the laser pulses are focussed to a cross-section which is limited by diffraction phenomena, and the nth order diffraction maxima (n=1, 2, 3, . . . ) of the laser pulses are used to apply the cuts.
