BODY FOR FLOW-THROUGH CELLS AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# Mounting plate (11) for accurately positioning a row or matrix of flow-through cells in a support has: (a) a spring (51) and a seating (52) at opposite ends for aligning it in the x-direction; (b) additional springs (53, 55) and seatings (54, 56) for aligning it in the y-direction; and (c) studs and snap-hooks for aligning it in the z-direction. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for: (1) a plate as described above inserted in a base plate; (2) a support for the combination described above with a recess which allows accurate positioning of the mounting plate; (3) apparatus consisting of the combination and the support; and (4) apparatus consisting of the combination and the support with a base plate clamped between them. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# The mounting plate is useful in qualitative and quantitative analysis to determine chemical, biochemical or biological analytes in pharmaceutical screening, combinatory chemistry and in clinical and preclinical development, in real-time bonding studies and for determining kinetic parameters in affinity screening, in DNA and RNA analysis and detecting genomic and proteonomic anomalies, e.g. single nucleotide polymorphism, tracking protein-DNA interactions, determining control mechanisms for mRNA expression and protein (bio)synthesis, carrying out toxicity studies, determining expression profiles, especially determining marker substances, e.g. mRNA, proteins, peptides or lower molecular weight organic carrier materials, in detecting antibodies, antigens, pathogens or bacteria in human or veterinary medicine or in the agrochemical industry and detecting Salmonella, prions, viruses and bacteria in the foodstuffs and environmental industries (all claimed). #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawings show a perspective view and two side views of the plate. 11 : Mounting plate 52, 53, 55 : Springs 52, 54, 56 : Seatings.
