Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for automation of an analyzer for laboratory which uses a container and a liquid container used in the system, and a radio recognition (RFID) tag and a radio recognition (RFID) reader to identify contents thereof.SOLUTION: Radio recognition tags 18 adaptive to guidelines of ISO14443 or ISO15693 or ISO18000 are arranged on an object such as a reagent container, a sample container 14, a microplate, etc. Those tags can be read and written through a movable antenna of an RFID reader or a fixed antenna of the RFID reader. The reading from the RFID tags and the writing to the RFID tags are controlled by software.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel solid dispersion pharmaceutical formulations which demonstrate an inhibition of crystallization.SOLUTION: A solid pharmaceutical composition contains: a molecular dispersion of ritonavir (ABT-538); a hydrophilic, amorphous polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC); and matrix comprising a water soluble carrier which is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG), pentaerythritol, pentaerythritol tetraacetate, polyoxyethylene stearate, and poly-ε-caprolacton. The matrix includes an amorphous region where the ritonavir resides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to aminoindane derivatives of the formula (I) or a physiologically tolerated salt thereof. The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such aminoindane derivatives, and the use of such aminoindane derivatives for therapeutic purposes. The aminoindane derivatives are GlyT1 inhibitors.
Abstract:
The invention provides a lysis reagent and method for preparing a test sample for use in an assay, wherein the method yields a homogeneous lysis mixture suitable for use in automated pipetting systems without the need for a centrifugation step. The lysis reagent includes a glycol and non-specific animal immunoglobulins. Other aspects of the invention include related immunoassays and test kits.
Abstract:
A reaction vessel with a bottom drain opening supporting a selected unpressured head of fluid by the surface tension of the fluid. A device processing zone includes a support for spaced rows of reaction vessels, passages communicating with their drain openings of supported vessels, and a pressure source for selectively draining fluid through the drain openings. Generally horizontal bar magnets are supported for selected vertical movement between the vessel rows. A dispensing head has X discharge openings selectively positionable over X selected reaction vessels. A metering pump mechanism selectively meters X a selected quantity of fluid a bulk supply (where X is at least four), and selectively pumps the metered selected quantities through the drain openings to the selected reaction vessels. Methods of drawing fluid from the vessels using the pressure source, and moving the magnets to form a pellet of analyte are also included.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to phenalkylamine derivatives of the formula (I) or (II) or a physiologically tolerated salt thereof. The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such phenalkylamine derivatives, and the use of such phenalkylamine derivatives for therapeutic purposes. The phenalkylamine derivatives are GlyT1 inhibitors.
