20080220980 | Method to Measure Dynamic Internal Calibration True Dose Response Curves - A method of determining an amount of analyte in a sample solution is provided. The method involves the use of an assay device that has a substantially planar assay surface. The surface has a plurality of calibration dots a test dot printed thereon. The calibration dots contain pre-determined quantities of the analyte while the test dot includes a capture antibody for binding to the analyte. The analyte is mixed into a solution having a sample antibody for the analyte, where the antibody is labeled with a detectable marker. The sample solution is introduced into the loading portion of the assay device for delivery to said reading portion. The next step is to measure the intensity of detectable marker in the calibration dots. With the data obtained, one then prepares a calibration curve correlating the amount of analyte in said calibration dots to said intensity of detectable marker. The intensity of detectable marker in the test dot can be measures and the amount of analyte present in said test dot calculated by comparing the intensity of detectable marker to the amount of analyte corresponding to the intensity in said calibration curve. | 09-11-2008 |
20090325922 | TURFGRASS FUNGICIDE FORMULATION WITH PIGMENT - Oil-in-water fungicidal formulations are prepared having pigment dispersed therein, the pigment being stable within the oil-in-water emulsion as a result of the addition of suitable silicone surfactants and suitable emulsifiers. The formulations can be prepared either as a 2-pack formulation or as a single formulation. In the case of the single formulation polyethylene glycol is also added. In either case, the formulations show a synergistic effect through the addition of the pigment, the resulting formulations having an increased efficacy. Further, the formulations show a synergistic effect when mixed with conventional chemical fungicides, both being added in reduced amounts compared to recommended rates. | 12-31-2009 |
