20050112587, May 26, 2005

Filed:

Nov 25, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/721917

Inventors:

James Sherrill - Oak Ridge TN, US
Charles Barnett - Knoxville TN, US

International Classification:

C12Q001/68
C12M001/34

US Classification:

435006000, 435287200

Abstract:

An analyzer reads biological probes arranged in a probe pattern on a slide carried by a slide carriage. Each probe may or may not generate a probe signal, which is typically fluorescent light, to indicate prior exposure to a predetermined substance or absence of such prior exposure. A detector includes sensors arranged in a first pattern. The probe pattern is denser than the first pattern and includes plurality of first patterns. The detector can sense multiple subsets of the probes within a probe pattern. The probes are contained in wells configured to facilitate reading of the probes, and alignment indicia may be used to check alignment of the slide with the detector.

International Classification:

A61K 41/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A method, composition and structure to treat fouling. In one embodiment, the method of treating fouling includes providing a structure including a first component of a base material and a second component of an energetically activated nanostructure, and applying a stimuli to the structure that effectuates an increase or decrease in the temperature of the energetically activated nanostructure. The increase or decrease in the temperature of the energetically activated nanostructure modifies the chemical and/or mechanical properties of the base material. The modifications to the chemical and/or mechanical properties of the base material obstruct fouling of the structure.
