A method is provided herein, the method includes: applying a sample comprising target nucleic acids to a sample application zone of a substrate; and flowing a nucleic acid amplification reaction mixture across a length of the substrate through the sample application zone to amplify the target nucleic acid forming a nucleic acid amplification product; wherein the target nucleic acid having a first molecular weight is substantially immobilized at the sample application zone and wherein the amplification product having a second molecular weight migrates away from the sample application zone. An associated device is also provided.

Method, substrate and device for separating nucleic acids

A method of making a membrane assembly is provided. The method comprises forming an inorganic membrane layer disposed on a substrate, and forming a plurality of macropores in the substrate at least in part using anodization. Further, a membrane assembly is provided. The membrane assembly comprises a filtering membrane that is coupled to an anodized substrate comprising a plurality of macropores.

A method of manufacturing an article for display of a holographic image is described that includes thermally fusing a holographic recording medium containing a photochemically active dye dispersed in a transparent thermoplastic polymer binder to another layer or material; and then exposing the holographic film to intersecting beams of coherent light to form a holographic image therein formed by photoreacted areas of the photochemically active dye and unreacted areas of the photochemically active dye.

Method of making holographic recording materials and articles formed thereby

The present disclosure relates to optical media and the formation and use of such media. In certain embodiments the optical media or a composition suitable for such media includes a polymeric matrix or substrate. A dye, such as an energy transfer dye is chemically appended to the polymeric matrix or substrate, such as by one or more covalent bonds.

Use of appended dyes in optical data storage media

Disclosed is a formable thermoplastic multi-layer laminate comprising an outer layer comprising a polymer comprising resorcinol arylate polyester chain members, a middle layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an inner-tie layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer comprising a carbonate polymer and an acrylonitrile-styrene graft copolymer comprising at least one of an acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate graft copolymer (ASA) or an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer (ABS), the middle layer being between the outer layer and the inner-tie layer and being in contact with both the outer layer and the inner-tie layer. Also disclosed are a formed multi-layer laminate and an article comprising the multi-layer laminate bonded to a substrate. A method of making the article is also disclosed.

A method of objectively evaluating a surface mark provides an objective test methodology for the optical quantification of surface marks. The method may include the steps of reproducibly producing a surface mark on an object and optically evaluating the surface mark. The surface mark may be reproducibly produced by loading a stylus, contacting a surface on the object with the loaded stylus and moving the object and the surface thereon relative to the loaded stylus so as to thereby produce a mark on the surface. Any surface mark is optically evaluated by optically producing images of the surface mark, electronically capturing the optically produced images and measuring selected parameters of the captured optically produced images.

Method of objectively evaluating a surface mark

Using the molding tool ( ), spatially-resolved spectrometer ( ) and computerized device ( ) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/303,409, streaking problems identified in production are first diagnosed ( ), then duplicated on a laboratory scale ( ) and compared with the streaking problems observed in production. Next, options are developed and tested for fixing (correcting) the observed problem and testing these on a laboratory scale ( ). Finally, the option(s) chosen for correcting the observed problem are validated prior to reinitiating full-scale production ( ).

Method and apparatus for resin formulations with improved streaking performance

A thermoplastic composition is provided comprising an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer, polycarbonate and an epoxy functional silicone. The compositions exhibit reduced gloss and enhanced low temperature impact strengths and are useful as molding resins.

Low gloss thermoplastic molding compositions

A multi-stage polyorganosiloxane/polyvinyl-based graft polymer is provided by the co-homopolymerization of organosiloxanes and a vinyl-based monomer (e.g. styrene) and the subsequent graft polymerization of one or more stages of additional (meth)acrylate monomers, vinyl aromatic/(meth)acrylate comonomers or vinyl aromatic/vinyl cyanide/(meth)acrylate termonomers with or without an intermediary stage comprising a polymer.

Polyorganosiloxane/polyvinyl-based graft (meth)acrylate polymers

Thermoplastic molding compositions are provided which comprise polycarbonate resins, polyester resins and polyphenylene ether resins or various combinations thereof modified with a multi-stage polyorganosiloxane/polyvinyl-based graft (meth)acrylate polymer. When the resultant compositions are molded, impact strength, ductility, tendency to agglomerate, rubber dispersion, blend morphology, weld line strength, and thermal stability are improved with no delamination or surface mottling.

Polyester, polycarbonate and/or polyphenylene ether with

Polyphasic resin blends and particularly polycarbonate/polyester blends, are prepared with modifiers comprising combinations of polyorganosiloxane/polyvinyl-based graft copolymer(s), polyorganosiloxane-based graft copolymer(s) and/or diene rubber-based graft copolymer(s), imparting a wide range of physical properties to the blends.
