20110269249 | DISTRIBUTION OF PARTICLES IN CHAMBER BY APPLICATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD - The present invention relates to a device and a method for clustering and subsequently distributing a plurality of paramagnetic particles in a small volume liquid in a chamber, said chamber having a first wall and an opposite second wall, said method comprising the steps of a) providing a liquid comprising the plurality of paramagnetic particles, b) subjecting the paramagnetic particles to a first magnetic field by means of a first field generating means having first and second mutually spaced opposite poles and defining a first pole axis extending between the poles, the field generating means being arranged relative to the first wall so that the first pole axis (a | 11-03-2011 |
20110045505 | INTEGRATED SEPARATION AND DETECTION CARTRIDGE WITH MEANS AND METHOD FOR INCREASING SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO - The present invention relates to a device and a method for quantitative detecting of the presence or absence of a target analyte in a liquid sample having a volume of less than 200 μl, the device comprising a reaction chamber in the form of a capillary channel, a first part comprising a sample inlet for the introduction of a sample containing an analyte, and a discharge outlet for the discharge of waste products; a second part comprising means for detection of the target analyte, and a solution inlet for introduction of washing solutions and reaction mixtures; and means for transferring an immobilized analyte from the first part to the second part of the chamber and vice versa, where the first and second parts are separated such that other liquid sample material may not enter the second part of the chamber and such that light may not be transferred from the first part of the chamber to the detector part of the second part of the chamber. | 02-24-2011 |
20110008776 | INTEGRATED SEPARATION AND DETECTION CARTRIDGE USING MAGNETIC PARTICLES WITH BIMODAL SIZE DISTRIBUTION - The present invention relates to a device and a method for quantitative detecting of the presence or absence of a target analyte in a liquid sample, the device comprising a reaction chamber having a volume of less than 200 μl comprising an immobilization matrix capable of capturing the analyte, said immobilization matrix, preferably comprising a particulate magnetic material, having a size distribution that is at least bimodal. | 01-13-2011 |
20100264099 | SEPARATION DEVICE COMPRISING A PHYSICAL BARRIER - The present invention relates to a device for separating a suspension into a liquid phase and a retentate phase. The device comprises a separation chamber comprising an application zone and a hydrophilic filter material. The separation chamber is connected to a first capillary channel, where the connecting junction between the separation chamber and the first capillary channel comprise a physical barrier preventing flow of residue retentate from a lower part of the chamber into the first capillary channel. The invention further relates to a method for separating a liquid sample consisting of less than 200 μl suspension, into a retentate phase comprising the suspended matter, and a liquid phase substantially free of suspended matter. | 10-21-2010 |
20100105079 | BIO SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE (SAW) RESONATOR AMPLIFICATION WITH NANOPARTICLES FOR DETECTION OF A TARGET ANALYTE - The present invention relates generally to a signal amplification method for a SAW resonator microsensor for analyzing test samples, containing target analyte including proteins and nucleic acids. The method comprising the steps: reacting the analyte in a sample with a first molecular recognition component and a second molecular recognition component linked to at least one nanoparticle; and adding an enhancement solution comprising silver ions and/or gold ions, and a reducing agent, whereby the silver ions and/or gold ions are reduced to metallic silver and/or gold which is deposited onto the surface of the at least one nanoparticle; wherein the mass increase of the at least one nanoparticle is detected by a SAW sensor. | 04-29-2010 |
20100099089 | REPORTER UNIT FOR DETECTION OF TARGET MOLECULES USING POLYMERISABLE SUBSTRATE - The invention relates to a reporter unit for detecting a target molecule comprising at least one component attached to a target molecule specific probe, wherein said at least one component is liberated from said probe by the activity of a first enzyme thereby making the at least one component available as a substrate for a second enzyme which employs the substrate in a polymerization reaction to obtain a detectable structure. | 04-22-2010 |
