ASSAY KIT AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18677260 titled 'ASSAY KIT AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD
The present invention is an assay kit designed for a chromatographic method, combined with a nasal mucus receiving medium that allows for easy visibility and collection of samples. The kit also includes a chromatographic method for detecting the presence or absence of a test substance in nasal mucus.
- Nasal mucus receiving medium that changes visibility when in contact with nasal mucus, along with an impermeable sheet.
- Chromatographic kit with a label substance modified with a first binding substance for a test substance, and a porous carrier with a second binding substance for the test substance or a binding substance for the first binding substance.
Potential Applications: - Medical diagnostics for nasal conditions - Drug testing for substances present in nasal mucus
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in collecting and detecting substances in nasal mucus - Lack of visibility and ease of use in traditional methods
Benefits: - Quick and easy detection of test substances in nasal mucus - Improved accuracy and efficiency in diagnostics
Commercial Applications: Nasal mucus analysis kits for medical facilities, drug testing centers, and research laboratories.
Questions about Nasal Mucus Assay Kit: 1. How does the nasal mucus receiving medium change visibility upon contact?
- The nasal mucus receiving medium changes visibility due to a specific reaction with the nasal mucus, making it easily detectable.
2. What is the advantage of using a label substance modified with a first binding substance in the chromatographic kit?
- The label substance allows for precise detection of the test substance in the nasal mucus, enhancing the accuracy of the results.
Original Abstract Submitted
An object of the present invention is to provide an assay kit for performing a chromatographic method, combined with a nasal mucus receiving medium in which a sample is easily visible and the sample is easily collected, and a chromatographic method including detecting presence or absence of a test substance in nasal mucus by using the above-descried assay kit. According to the present invention, there is provided an assay kit including (a) a nasal mucus receiving medium that includes a medium in which a visibility of a portion in contact with nasal mucus is changed in a case where nasal mucus is brought into contact with the portion, and an impermeable sheet, and (b) a chromatographic kit that includes a label substance modified with a first binding substance for a test substance, and a porous carrier having a second binding substance for the test substance or a binding substance for the first binding substance.
