Appl. No.:

10/163018

Inventors:

Marie Lin - Cupertino CA, US
Tom Chia - Cupertino CA, US
Chiu Chin Chang - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Lin-Zhi International Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G01N 33/00

US Classification:

435 71, 435 74, 435 79, 435 792, 435 793, 435 26, 436501, 436518, 436536, 4241301

Abstract:

Methods and kits are provided for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes, i. e. to the determination of whether one or more of a plurality of analytes is present in a sample, particularly the plurality of analytes are structurally unrelated or significantly different, particularly to whether one or more of such analytes is present in a sample in a concentration that is above a predetermined minimum or cutoff value, and particularly for such analytes with different cutoffs. The methods and kits are particularly useful for-screening for the presence of a plurality of drugs (licit and/or illicit), performance-enhancing substances, and other chemicals, and involve a competitive enzyme immunoassay employing one or more conjugates of G6PDH with a plurality of the analytes.

Appl. No.:

12/385749

Inventors:

Chiu Chin Chang - Sunnyvale CA, US

International Classification:

C07K 16/00
G01N 33/532

US Classification:

5303898, 5303889, 5303913, 436544

Abstract:

This invention pertains to a method for detecting a compound in the presence of other compounds that are substantially similar in structure and metabolically related to the analyte. The invention is particularly suited for the detection of S-adenosylmethionine in the presence of S-adenosylhomocysteine, other nucleosides and derivatives in a biological sample. The methods of this invention involve an antibody produced specifically against S-adenosylmethionine; particularly, analogs modified strategically at the sulfonium position. An assay protocol comprises chemically modified analyte analog linked to an enzymatic reporter and the aforementioned antibody was used to demonstrate the assay specificity and sensitivity. Additional assay method with immobilized immunogen, the specific antibody, and an enzyme labeled secondary antibody was also described for illustration. The invention also features hapten design and novel compounds used as haptens to prepare immunogen and for the specific antibody production.

US Classification:

435 7

Abstract:

Novel fluorogenic peroxidase substrates are provided employing novel water soluble activated capped aromatic fluorescent compounds for use as peroxidase substrates. The novel compounds can be used in a wide variety of ways for determination of peroxides, peroxidase, and in assays for analytes employing peroxidase as a label on a member of a specific binding pair.

International Classification:

C07D51900

US Classification:

546 94

Abstract:

Novel squaraine dyes and compositions of matter containing such dyes are disclosed. The novel squaraine dyes have an absorption maximum greater than 600 nanometers and are particularly useful in conjunction with a helium/neon (He/Ne) laser. Some of the squaraine dyes are hydrophilic and are therefore water soluble or water compatible and others of the squaraine dyes are lipophilic.

International Classification:

G01N 33543
G01N 33546

US Classification:

435 75

Abstract:

A method for carrying out a binding assay is described wherein a member of a specific binding pair (sbp) and a sample are combined with a matrix of non-porous beads in a liquid medium under conditions such that the beads bind to the sbp member. The liquid medium is removed from the beads by aspiration using an aspiration tube having one or more orifices each of a diameter smaller than the minimum diameter of the smallest bead thereby allowing removal of the liquid medium while prohibiting aspiration of the beads.

Abstract:

Squaraine dyes and compositions of matter containing such dyes are disclosed. The squaraine dyes have an absorption maximum greater than 600 nanometers and are particulary useful in conjunction with a helium/neon (He/Ne) laser. Some of the squaraine dyes are hydrophilic and are therefore water soluble or water compatible and others of the squaraine dyes are lipophilic.
