  • Publication number: 20110263457
    Abstract: We describe herein a cell-based multiplexing technique called detectable cell barcoding (DCB). In DCB, each individual sample is labeled with a different DCB signature that distinguishes each sample by one or both of detected intensity or type of detection characteristic. The samples are then combined and analyzed for a detectable characteristic of interest (e.g., presence of an analyte). By employing multiple distinct DCB labels at varying concentrations, one can perform multiplex analyses on up to hundreds or thousands (or more) of cell samples in a single reaction tube. DCB reduces reagent consumption by factors of 100-fold or more, significantly reduces data acquisition times and allows for stringent control sample analysis.

  • Patent number: 8034636
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that introduction of hydrophilic sulfoalkyl substituents and/or hydrophilic linkers derived from homocysteic acid, cysteic acid, glycine peptides, tetraethylene oxide, and the like, offset the hydrophobicity of the acridinium ring system to produce a more soluble label which can be attached to an antibody at higher loading before precipitation and aggregation problems are encountered. Additional compounds described herein contain linkers derived from short peptides and tetraethylene oxide which increase aqueous solubility due to hydrogen bonding with water molecules. The present invention also embraces reagents for multiple acridinium labeling for signal amplification composed of a peptide bearing several acridinium esters with sulfonate groups at regularly spaced intervals for increased solubility. The invention also embraces assays employing the above-described compounds.

  • Patent number: 8034944
    Abstract: There are provided a novel benzofluoranthene compound and an organic light-emitting device which uses the benzofluoranthene compound, gives a blue emission hue with extremely good purity, and has an optical output with a high efficiency, a high luminance, and a long life. Specifically, there are provided a benzofluoranthene compound represented by the general formula shown below and an organic light-emitting device including a pair of electrodes including an anode and a cathode one of which is a transparent or translucent electrode material, and an organic compound layer disposed between the pair of electrodes and including a material for an organic light-emitting device containing the benzofluoranthene compound. In the general formula (1), one of X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6 represents a substituted or unsubstituted fused heterocyclic group having four or less rings, and the others of X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6 each represent a hydrogen atom.
