20130171673 | PIPETTE TIP, PIPETTE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING ANALYSIS WITH THE PIPETTE TIP AND SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a pipette tip ( | 07-04-2013 |
20140170737 | STACKABLE MICRO-FLUIDIC CELLS - An assay assembly that includes an assay bar having a plurality flow cells is disclosed. Each of the flow cells includes an inlet, an outlet, and an inside surface defining an inner volume. The outlet includes a valve that is configured to retain liquid within the inner volume of the flow cell. Each assay bar is configured to be reversibly stacked upon another assay bar, such that the flow cells of the stacked assay bars are in fluid communication with each other. This way, the outlet of a first flow cell of a first assay bar is in fluid communication with the inlet of a second flow cell of a second assay bar. The assay assembly may include a multitude of assay bars to form a composite assay assembly, with the flow cells of the stacked assay bars being in fluid communication with each other. | 06-19-2014 |

20110218124 | ASSEMBLIES FOR MULTIPLEX BINDING ASSAYS - Assay plate assemblies are disclosed. The assemblies include an assay plate that has a top side, a bottom side, and at least one well accessible from the top side of the plate. The well includes a side surface and a bottom surface, with at least one secondary container protruding through the bottom surface and into an interior volume of the well. The assemblies further include a dispenser plate that is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the top side of the assay plate. The dispenser is further configured to provide one or more reagents to one or more secondary containers of at least one well of the assay plate. | 09-08-2011 |
20120028844 | REAGENT DISPENSERS AND STACKABLE BARS FOR MULTIPLEX BINDING ASSAYS - Multiplex binding assay assemblies are disclosed. The assemblies generally include at least one assay bar that includes a top side, a bottom side, and at least one well accessible from the top side of the assay bar. Each well includes a side surface, a bottom surface, an open top end, and at least one secondary container, with each secondary container including a capillary tube that (i) begins at a location within an interior volume of the well and (ii) ends at a location beneath the bottom surface of the assay bar. The assemblies further include a dispenser bar that is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the top side of the assay bar, which includes one or more reservoirs that are configured to provide one or more reagents to the at least one secondary container located in each well of the assay bar. | 02-02-2012 |
20120028847 | ASSEMBLIES FOR MULTIPLEX ASSAYS - Multiplex binding assay assemblies are disclosed. The assemblies include at least one assay bar that has a top side, a bottom side, and at least one well accessible from the top side of the assay bar, with each well including a side surface, a bottom surface, an open top end. Each well also includes at least one secondary container, with each secondary container including a capillary tube that (i) begins at a location within an interior volume of the well and (ii) ends at a location beneath the bottom side of the assay bar. The assemblies further include a guiding track, which includes a set of two rails, with each rail having its own separate groove. Such grooves are configured to run parallel to each other with a distance between such grooves, with a first groove configured to receive a protruding element (or an end) of a first side of the assay bar, and a second groove configured to receive a protruding element (or an end) of a second side of the assay bar. The set of two separate grooves are configured to allow the assay bar to glide along the grooves from one side to a second side of the guiding track. | 02-02-2012 |

The assemblies include an assay plate that has a top side, a bottom side, and at least one well accessible from the top side of the plate. The well includes a side surface and a bottom surface, with at least one secondary container protruding through the bottom surface and into an interior volume of the well. The assemblies further include a dispenser plate that is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the top side of the assay plate. The dispenser is further configured to provide one or more reagents to one or more secondary containers of at least one well of the assay plate. | 11-14-2013 |
20130323652 | METHOD OF FABRICATING PATTERNED FUNCTIONAL SUBSTRATES - Methods of preparing organosilane-functionalized regions on a substrate surface and more specifically fabricating patterned functionalized substrates suitable to be optically read, the methods generally comprising employing a vapor deposition process of an organosilane gas onto a lithographically patterned silicon surface followed by removal of the patterning media in a bath of organic solvents and ultrasonic excitation. The inventive methods provide optimized surface density of functional species while avoiding deleterious effects that can occur when lithographically patterned substrates are exposed to various gaseous species during the functionalization process. | 12-05-2013 |
