20110059548 | Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Extraction Device and Device Carrier, and Method for Post-LCM Fluid Processing - The present invention generally discloses an extraction system that provides a locale for fluid processing and extraction on a post-microcapture transfer film. The extraction system includes a transfer film carrier and an extraction device forming a reservoir. The extraction system selectively excludes regions of the transfer film from the reservoir to advantageously reduce contamination due to matter adhered to the transfer film by non-specific transfer. | 03-10-2011 |
20120094326 | IMAGING AND EVALUATING EMBRYOS, OOCYTES, AND STEM CELLS - Methods, compositions and kits for determining the developmental potential of one or more embryos or pluripotent cells and/or the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in one or more embryos or pluripotent cells are provided. These methods, compositions and kits find use in identifying embryos and oocytes in vitro that are most useful in treating infertility in humans. | 04-19-2012 |
20120095287 | IMAGING AND EVALUATING EMBRYOS, OOCYTES, AND STEM CELLS - Methods, compositions and kits for determining the developmental potential of one or more embryos or pluripotent cells and/or the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in one or more embryos or pluripotent cells are provided. These methods, compositions and kits find use in identifying embryos and oocytes in vitro that are most useful in treating infertility in humans. | 04-19-2012 |
20130162795 | IMAGING AND EVALUATING EMBRYOS, OOCYTES, AND STEM CELLS - Methods, compositions and kits for determining the developmental potential of one or more embryos or pluripotent cells and/or the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in one or more embryos or pluripotent cells are provided. These methods, compositions and kits find use in identifying embryos and oocytes in vitro that are most useful in treating infertility in humans. | 06-27-2013 |
20130165745 | IMAGING AND EVALUATING EMBRYOS, OOCYTES, AND STEM CELLS - Methods, compositions and kits for determining the developmental potential of one or more embryos or pluripotent cells and/or the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in one or more embryos or pluripotent cells are provided. These methods, compositions and kits find use in identifying embryos and oocytes in vitro that are most useful in treating infertility in humans. | 06-27-2013 |
20140303038 | 3' Biased Detection of Nucleic Acids - The invention provides materials and methods for the detection of nucleic acid expression via the 3′ portion of expressed sequences. Embodiments of the invention include the use of microarrays comprising nucleic acid probes that are complementary to the 3′ end of expressed sequences and by the use of quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) based amplification of sequences found at or near the 3′ end of expressed sequences. The invention may be used to detect the presence of expressed nucleic acids encoding particular gene products (sequences present in a “transcriptome”). | 10-09-2014 |
20140335560 | Automated Microdissection Instrument - Systems and methods for automated laser microdissection are disclosed including automatic slide detection, position detection of cutting and capture lasers, focus optimization for cutting and capture lasers, energy and duration optimization for cutting and capture lasers, inspection and second phase capture and/or ablation in a quality control station and tracking information for linking substrate carrier or output microdissected regions with input sample or slide. | 11-13-2014 |
