In one example an apparatus can include a controller communicatively coupled to a droplet dispenser to deposit antibody fluid on a matrix of an immunoblotting array, the controller is to align the droplet dispenser with a protein band included in the matrix, instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit a first antibody fluid on to the protein band of the matrix, and instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit a second antibody fluid on to the protein band of the matrix, adjacent to the first antibody fluid.

The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.

The present disclosure provides methods and kits for detecting Group A Streptococcus in biological samples. More particularly, the present disclosure provides methods for enhancing the specificity and sensitivity of Group A Streptococcus immunoassays by including N-propionyl-D-glucosamine, 2-N-butanoyl-D-glucosamide, Bis-(2-(D-2-deoxy-glucosaminyl))-PEG3-amide, m-PEG4-glucosamine, m-PEG6-glucosamine, or m-PEG10-glucosamine. The methods and kits disclosed herein are thus useful for reliable and early diagnosis of streptococcal infections in a subject.

An object of the present invention is to provide a kit or a device for the detection of prostate cancer and a method for detecting prostate cancer. The present invention provides a kit or a device for the detection of prostate cancer, comprising a nucleic acid capable of specifically binding to a miRNA in a sample of a subject, and a method for detecting prostate cancer, comprising measuring the miRNA in vitro.

It is intended to provide a kit or a device for the detection of lung cancer and a method for detecting lung cancer. The present invention provides a kit or a device for the detection of lung cancer, comprising a nucleic acid capable of specifically binding to a miRNA in a sample from a subject, and a method for detecting lung cancer, comprising measuring the miRNA in vitro.

The present invention provides methods for analysing a urine sample from a subject comprising exposing the urine sample to a lysis buffer which is capable of releasing at least one biomarker from cells in the urine sample. The present invention further provides kits, devices, and apparatuses that can be used in these methods. Finally, the present invention provides methods for detecting the presence of a urological cancer in a subject comprising performing an assay on a sample from a subject to determine the concentration of an Mcm protein.

The present invention is directed to particular monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof that find use in the detection, prevention and treatment of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. In particular, these antibodies may kill Streptococcus pneumoniae or limit the replication of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Also disclosed are improved methods for producing such monoclonal antibodies.

The present disclosure provides isolated antibodies that bind to acetaminophen-protein adducts that are useful in the detection and diagnosis of acetaminophen-induced toxicity.
