摘要:
A device for the gravimetric volume determination of liquid volumes. The device comprises a housing (11) having the shape and dimensions of a standard rack used in a clinical diagnostic analyzer system for holding sample or reagent containers, and the following components contained in housing (11): a load cell (12) for gravimetric volume determination, a weighing container (13) for receiving a liquid to be weighed with said load cell (12), a windbreak (14) which shields said weighing container (13) from air flow, an evaporation trap (15) which prevents evaporation of liquid loaded into said weighing container (13), a temperature sensor (21), an air-pressure sensor (31) and a humidity sensor (41) for sensing temperature, air pressure and humidity respectively at predetermined points within said housing (11), and an electronic processing unit for processing electrical output signals delivered by said load cell (12) and by said sensors (21, 31, 41).
摘要:
Specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to HLA-B27 heavy-chain homodimers, termed HC-B27, HLA-B272 or B272, particularly recognizing B272 homodimers and which do not recognize or bind HLA-B27 heterotrimers (B27) including HLA-B27 heterotrimers with β2 microglobulin and peptide. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of HLA-B27 mediated conditions, particularly those associated with B272, the spondylarthritides, a group of related diseases including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and reactive arthritis (ReA or Reiter's syndrome). The antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibodies HD4, HD5 and HD6 whose sequences are provided herein.
摘要:
A method of gravimetric volume determination is described in which a load cell can be calibrated either outside of an analytic analyzer for gravimetric calibration of the analyzer, or in a fully automated manner inside the analyzer.
