| 20120133933 | METHOD FOR REDUCING LOSS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN DETECTION APPLICATIONS - The application provides a method for reducing the loss of electromagnetic radiation caused by passing electromagnetic radiation through material with a rough surface. The method comprises applying a surface layer, such as a liquid or plastic film, to the material. The surface layer masks or decreases the surface irregularities or effects therefrom resulting in decreased loss of electromagnetic energy. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120100526 | IDENTIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE USING TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT HYBRIDIZATION - Oligonucleotide probes are provided that are capable of hybridizing to different target nucleic acid sequences in a temperature-dependent manner allowing for detection of more than one target sequence by the same probe or by different probes having reporter labels with identical or similar detection characteristics. Also provided is a method for detecting target nucleic acid sequences using an oligonucleotide probe capable of hybridizing to the sequences in a temperature-dependent manner or using different probes having reporter labels with identical or similar detection characteristics. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110246086 | OPTICAL RESISTANCE COUPLED APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method and apparatus for detecting a particular chemical in a sample, includes placing the sample in contact with a semiconductive material provided on a flow cell. An electrical characteristic of the semiconductive material is detected by an interdigitated electrode, and a first signal indicative thereof of output. An optical characteristic of the semiconductive material is detected by a photodetector and a second signal indicative thereof is output. Based on the first and second signals, it is determined by a processor as to whether or not the particular chemical is present in the sample. | 10-06-2011 |
