A commercial shelf product alignment device for facilitating neat and straight alignment of commercial products on a shelf in a market includes a handle having a first end and a second end. An elongated shaft is coupled to and extends from the handle. A bend is positioned in the shaft defining a first section and a second section of the shaft. The first section defines a right angle with the second section wherein the shaft is configured for aligning products on a commercial shelf by abutting the products against the first section of the shaft.

Biological fluid samples containing proteins (e.g., blood plasma or saliva) are prepared for isotopic analysis by precipitating the proteins while leaving the isotopic ratio unaffected. This precipitation can involve adding metal ions, salts, organic solvents, or organic polymers. The sample is then centrifuged to allow transfer of the supernatant for isotopic analysis, e.g. by tunable diode laser absorption spectrometry to obtain a quantitative measure of theH andO isotope levels in the water relative to reference standards.

Many suppliers claimed their products have been Tachyonized&#x2122; since the discovery and commercialization of Tachyonized&#x2122; products by Advanced Tachyon Technologies International. Genuine materials that have been Tachyonized have demonstrated a range of beneficial properties to biological organisms and processes. However, the market has been saturated with competitors making such claims without any foundation. Accordingly, the inventive process provides a simple and rapid test method to confirm the authenticity of Tachyonized materials.

Tachyonized material test method

A 'reverse isotope dilution assay' herein, wherein a pathway that produces a given metabolite is assayed by diluting a labelled metabolite produced by a second constitutive pathway. In one aspect, the invention relates to a method for monitoring lactose maldigestion or lactose intolerance in humans. Specifically, the method requires administering a reverse tracer of labeled glucose and unlabeled lactose to an individual and assessing labeled carbon dioxide in breath or blood. If the lactose is digested, the labeled COproduced by the labeled glucose is diluted by the metabolism of the lactose.

A meat-free, algae-free, standardized, test meal kit used in the measurement of delayed gastric emptying is provided. The kit contains at least a standardized test meal dry mix and tracer. A method of using the kit is also provided.

Measurement of gastric emptying

Provided herein is a novel breath test for assessing bacterial overgrowth. The test involves administration of a labeled sorbitol or sorbitol derivative to a subject and measurement of the label in breath and/or blood.

Non-invasive test for assessing bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine

Provided herein is a novel breath test for assessing hepatic function. The test involves administration of a labeled methionine or methionine metabolite to a subject and measurement of the expired label.

Breath test for assessing hepatic function

Provided herein is a novel blood test for assessing hepatic function. The test involves administration of a labeled methionine or methionine metabolite to a subject and measurement of the expired label in blood.

Blood test for assessing hepatic function

An ice auger conversion apparatus has an ice auger support and steering mounting member and a winch connected to the ice auger support and steering mounting member. A ring conversion member detachably connects to the winch. A winch drive motor connects to a driven end of the winch. A winch drive socket conversion member connects to a driving end of the winch. One end of a drive conversion adapter member removingly connects to the winch drive socket and another end of the drive conversion adapter member removingly connects to an ice auger shaft member. An ice auger removably connects to the ice auger shaft member. The ice auger support and steering member also has a mounting plate attached to the winch and a steering handle member attached to the mounting plate. A power circuit attaches to the steering handle member to provide power to the winch drive motor. The power circuit has a power circuit actuation switch and a power source. The ice auger has a replaceable blade insert that detachably connects to a distal end of the ice auger shaft member.
