20110297545 | INSTRUMENT FOR INDEPENDENT ELECTROTRANSFER IN MULTIPLE CASSETTES - Electrotransfer is performed in an instrument that receives electroblotting cassettes and that contains an integrated power supply, controls, and a display that allows the user to monitor and control each of a plurality of cassettes individually through electrical contacts within the housing that mate with corresponding electrical contacts on the cassettes. | 12-08-2011 |
20130143209 | PROCESSING OF ANALYTE SUPPORTS WITH OSCILLATING FLUID BY INTERRUPTED ROTATION - Analyte supports such as Western blots, gels, and the like is processed for purposes of detection and analysis, by placing the blot or gel on a plate and causing process fluids to oscillate across the blot or gel by intermittently rotating the plate. The plate can be inclined or flat, divided into sectors to accommodate multiple sheets, and multiple plates can be mounted to a single rotating shaft to process a large number of blots or gels simultaneously under the same protocol. | 06-06-2013 |
20130231462 | ANTI-IMMUNE COMPLEX ANTIBODIES - Provided are methods and compositions for immunoassays with improved sensitivity and specificity. The presently disclosed anti-immune complex antibodies stabilize the interaction between a primary and secondary antibody, thereby allowing for more stringent wash conditions, less background, and stronger signal. | 09-05-2013 |
20140027284 | TARGETED DELIVERY OF REAGENTS TO SPOTS ON A PLANAR SUPPORT THROUGH PATTERNED TRANSFER SHEETS - Molecular species that are immobilized in discrete locations on a planar support such as protein bands on a gel or a blotting membrane or species applied in dots or spots on a membrane are reacted with binding reagents that are applied through a porous hydrophilic transfer sheet placed over the planar support, the sheet having at least one region that is laterally bordered by a barrier with the binding reagent retained within the bordered region. The bordered region is placed directly over an area on the planar support where the molecular species are expected to reside if they are present on the support. The binding reagent is then delivered into the support to contact the species. Targeted delivery of the binding reagent is thus achieved with improved efficiency. | 01-30-2014 |
20140339084 | INSTRUMENT FOR INDEPENDENT ELECTROTRANSFER IN MULTIPLE CASSETTES - Electrotransfer is performed in an instrument that receives electroblotting cassettes and that contains an integrated power supply, controls, and a display that allows the user to monitor and control each of a plurality of cassettes individually through electrical contacts within the housing that mate with corresponding electrical contacts on the cassettes. | 11-20-2014 |
20150031145 | ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY AND DELIVERY OF A PROTEIN FROM A POROUS SUBSTRATE - Compositions, methods, articles of manufacture, and kits are provided for storage and delivery of proteins. | 01-29-2015 |
20150153306 | MINI-GEL COMB - Molds for casting and retaining electrophoresis gel strips are provided, along with methods, kits, and systems for performing electrophoresis, electroelution, and/or electroblotting using these molds. | 06-04-2015 |
20150253251 | AUTOMATED BLOTTING USING SLIDING DEVICES - Devices, systems, methods, and kits are provided for performing separation, immobilization, blotting, and/or detection of analytes from biological samples. In some embodiments, the devices are constructed from two solid substrates with surfaces in contact. The devices include a plurality of channels formed from indentations in these surfaces. The indentations can be aligned with each other across the interface between the substrates, and realigned by shifting or sliding one substrate relative to the other. In some embodiments, the devices are constructed from three layers of a solid substrate. A separation channel in the middle layer of the device is first used for analyte separation. The middle layer can then be slid relative the top and/or bottom layer, thereby aligning the separation channel with a blotting membrane. Analytes can then be transferred to the membrane using electrodes in the top and bottom layers. | 09-10-2015 |
