    Abstract: Immunoassays and DNA probe assays utilizing a non-immune, reversible binding displacement system are provided. In the assay, a releasable ligand, a binding partner for the releasable ligand, an analyte of interest, an analytically detectable (reporter) group, and at least one binding partner for the analyte, are first attached to an insoluble phase so as to form reporter-labeled complex bound to an insoluble phase, followed by the addition of a displacer ligand which displaces the releasable ligand along with some portion of the reporter-labeled complex, so that the released reporter is analytically detectable in a free liquid medium and can be related to the concentration of analyte in the sample.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of determining the accuracy of a liquid dispenser. More particularly, this invention relates to a method of use of robotic equipment in the processing of microliter-plate based assays. The method permits the diagnostic instruments using absorbance type measurements and laboratory robots in the analysis of samples to verify the accuracy of the dispensing portion of the robot by comparing the absorbance due to a dispensed volume of reagent with that due to a known volume of the same reagent. This method finds particular use in the diagnostic instruments analyzing samples which contain viruses (or antibody to the virus) of infectious diseases. Typical of such infectious diseases are the human immunodeficiency virus Type -1(HIV-1).

    Abstract: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION An analysis instrument includes a container support (12), a carrier (24) having a plurality of liquid receiving wells (24W), a gross probe (40) movable along a locus of action (42) and a fine probe (50), the fine probe (50) being movable along a locus of action (52). In addition, various analysis, treatment and/or handling devices are also disposed at predetermined operating positions arranged along the loci of action (42, 52). Both the gross probe 40 and the fine probe 50 are each independently movable along their respective loci of action 42, 52 among one or more various extracting position(s) and one or more various dispensing position(s) to which either the support (12) and/or the carrier (24) may be moved, and/or among various operating position(s).

    Abstract: A readily disposable ion selective electrode assembly, free of onboard reagents, for use in analyzers has a reference element and plural sensor elements linearly positioned in parallel on a substrate. An elastomeric flow channel member containing two parallel grooves creates flow channels on the substrate above the elements. The substrate holds the elastomer in compression and is retained by snaps injection molded into a housing. Electrical contacts and leakfree fluidic connections are provided by spring loaded connectors through the housing. Reference and sample fluids are drawn through the respective flow channels and come together to form a liquid junction downstream from the sensor elements. Bubbles, that might otherwise cause erroneous results, are detected.
