The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically performing chemical, biochemical and biological analyses using the apparatus. The apparatus comprises: a plurality of subsystems for each performing different operations on microtiter plates; a transporting subsystem for automated movement of microtiter plates in three directions X, Y and Z in order to transport plates from one subsystem to another subsystem within the apparatus; a liquid handler comprising at least two liquid handling probes, wherein said liquid handler is integrated in the transporting subsystem; an insertion/removal subsystem for inserting, removing and storing microtiter plates and equipment for sampling and dilution operations, wherein said insertion/removal subsystem is mechanically operated, without the need for electrical components implemented in that subsystem.

Apparatus for automatically performing analyses

The invention relates to a method for the controlled dosage of a medicament as a function of time by means of a method for the determination of a corresponding dosage profile and corresponding control of a dosage instrument.

Method for the timed dosage of medicaments

The invention relates to a phosphorus-containing polymer for coating dielectric materials, to processes for its preparation and to its use, as well as to an optical signal transducer having a coating of the polymer and to its use.

Phosphorus-containing polymers for optical signal transducers

The invention relates to an assay based on resonance energy transfer (RET), comprising a first molecule grope A, which is marked with at least one energy donor, and at least one second molecule group B which is marked with at least one energy acceptor, the donor comprising a molecule or particle which can be energetically excited by an external radiation source and which is fluorescence enabled and the acceptor comprising a molecule or particle which can be excited by energy transfer via the donor with partial or complete quenching of the donor fluorescence, and the donor and/or acceptor comprise luminescing inorganic dope nanoparticles having an expansion of &#x2266;50 nanometers, emitting electromagnetic radiation with stokes or anti-stokes scattering after energetic excitation.

Assay based on doped nanoparticles

An optical layer structure having at least two layers and also a sensor based on this layer structure are described. The layer structure comprises at least a substrate layer and at least one (light) waveguide layer and a coupling element for the coupling of the optical beam, the layer adjacent to the waveguide layer having a smaller refractive index than the waveguide layer, and at least one layer consisting of a photoaddressable polymer.
