US Patent:

53084578, May 3, 1994

Filed:

Apr 5, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/681869

Inventors:

Ralph A. Dalla Betta - Mountain View CA
James C. Schlatter - Sunnyvale CA
David R. Lane - San Jose CA
Diana O. Durieux - Campbell CA

Assignee:

Catalytica, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

C25F 500

US Classification:

204131

Abstract:

This invention is a device and a process for controlling the emission of volatile organic components. The invention is useful on gaseous or vapor-containing streams containing a minor amount of organic material, particularly on fairly dilute streams or those containing only a few parts per million of the organic material. The device is useful in adsorbing organics as might be found emanating from paint spray booths, restaurants, print shops, dry cleaners, furniture manufacturers, and bakeries. The device may be two-stage including an adsorber and a catalytic oxidation reactor or may be of such a configuration that the same bed is used both as the adsorber and catalytic oxidation reactor. In the former configuration, a first stage contains an electrically conductive adsorbent bed, potentially comprising an adsorbent placed on a conductive support of fibers, foil, or other structure. The adsorbent removes the organic from the gaseous stream as that stream passes through.

Assignee:

Vysis, Inc. - Downers Grove IL

International Classification:

C12Q 168
C12M 100
G01N 33566
C12N 1500

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

The invention features devices that each consist of a tube containing a linear array of specific binding elements that each have capture probes specific for a target analyte linked thereto. The devices of the invention can be used in methods for detecting target analytes in samples.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 16, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/991675

Inventors:

David J. Lane - Wheaton IL
Michael P. Farrell - Sugar Grove IL

Assignee:

Vysis, Inc. - Downers Grove IL

International Classification:

C12Q 168
C12P 1934

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

The invention provides devices and methods for use in detecting nucleic acid analytes in samples. The devices each include a solid support to which is bound a two-dimensional distribution or field of nucleic acid probes that each bind to a nucleic acid analyte, which is detected by use of amplification methods.
