Abstract: The present invention relates to a particle composition comprising XRD amorphous calcium magnesium phosphate particles and a method for manufacturing such a composition. The XRD amorphous calcium magnesium phosphate particles are spherical particles with a hollow core. The particle-containing paste may be used in dental products such as toothpaste to treat dentin hypersensitivity by mineralizing and occluding exposed dentin tubules.

Abstract: The present invention provides an assay device for performing an assay on a liquid sample using a detection conjugate capable of binding to an antigen and containing a label, said device comprising a substrate having a substrate surface, wherein the surface comprises projections substantially perpendicular to said surface, said projections having a height, diameter and distance capable of generating lateral capillary flow of a fluid in said passage, said surface comprising a sample addition zone, a reaction zone and an absorbing zone, said zones being connected by at least one fluid passage, wherein said device has a first functionality verifying feature located between the sample addition zone and the reaction zone, and a second functionality verifying feature located within the absorbing zone, and both functionality verifying features being features capable of undergoing a detectable change when contacted by the sample, said assay device further comprising at least one alignment verification zone.

Abstract: The invention comprises a polymeric microarray support (1) for an optical assay arrangement (2) comprising optical means (3, 4, 6) for detection of light emitted from the support. The microarray support is provided with microfeatures comprising a surface enlarging pattern (5), i.e. grooves having a selected depth (8). The depth is selected such that the sum of the depth and of the variations in the thickness (7) of the support substantially corresponds to the depth of focus of the optical means.

Abstract: Manufacturing of miniaturised three-dimensional electric components are presented, as well as components manufactured by the methods. The manufacturing methods comprise micro-replication of at least one master structure, e.g. via a mould structure, in at least one polymer layer onto which layer at least one conductive path is provided.
