20090196792 | Multiple Assay Device - Disclosed is an assay device for the determination of analyte in a liquid sample over an extended concentration range comprising a first assay and a second assay, wherein the first assay for an analyte comprises a first flow-path having a sole detection zone capable of immobilising a labelled binding reagent and the second assay for said analyte comprises a second flow-path having a sole detection zone capable of immobilising a labelled binding reagent, wherein the presence of labelled binding reagent at the detection zones provides an indication of the presence and/or extent of analyte in said liquid sample. | 08-06-2009 |
20100320237 | FLUID DISPENSING APPARATUS WITH LOCKABLE ACTUATOR - One embodiment is a dispensing apparatus including a dispensing head for a fluid, wherein the dispensing head comprises an actuator, a pump mechanism and a locking member. The actuator is movable relative to the pump mechanism from a lock position to a first pump position and moveable relative to the pump mechanism between a first pump position and a second pump position for actuating said pump mechanism. The dispensing apparatus is configurable into a locked configuration, in which the actuator is in the lock position and in which the locking member is braced between the actuator and the pump mechanism to prevent movement of the actuator from the lock position, and an unlocked configuration in which the locking member allows movement of the actuator from the lock position, and wherein the dispensing head is adapted to revert from the unlocked configuration when the actuator is returned to the lock position. A biasing means in the form of a spring, elastic, gravitational or magnetic means may also be included as may a hinged locking member or a guide slot arrangement. | 12-23-2010 |
20110223690 | ASSAY - The present invention provides an assay kit for detecting an analyte of interest in a sample. The kit comprises a) a reporter species; b) a labelled species having first and second binding regions, wherein the first binding region is capable of binding to the analyte of interest and the second binding region is capable of binding to the reporter species; c) an immobilised species capable of binding to the first binding region of the labelled species; and d) immobilised capture reagent capable of binding to the reporter species. The arrangement is such that the sample is contacted with the labelled species, is then contacted with the immobilised species and is subsequently contacted with the immobilised capture reagent, the reporter species being added prior to exposure of the sample to the immobilised capture reagent. If no analyte is present in the sample, the labelled species becomes bound to the immobilised species and is therefore unable to bind to the immobilised capture reagent. If analyte is present in the sample, the analyte binds to the labelled species such that the labelled species is unable to bind to the immobilised species but can bind to the immobilised capture reagent via the reporter species, the presence of the analyte thus being determined by the presence of labelled species bound to the immobilised capture reagent via the reporter species. | 09-15-2011 |
20110300555 | ASSAY DEVICE COMPRISING BUBBLE-FORMING MEANS - Disclosed is a method for determining the presence and/or amount Oran analyte of interest in a liquid sample comprising the steps of: contacting the liquid sample suspected of containing analyte with a gas generating means (eg. catalase and peracid or peroxygen compound), which gas generating means forms a gas dependent upon the presence, absence or amount of analyte, which gas creates one or more bubbles in the liquid sample which act to alter the flow of liquid along a flow path; and determining an alteration of flow in the liquid wherein the alteration of flow of liquid along the flow path is indicative of the presence and/or amount of analyte in the liquid sample. | 12-08-2011 |
