An image sensor is disclosed which is adapted to sense a color image and comprises three channels (11, 15, 17), one for each of the primary colors. Each channel is identical except for the color of the filter associated therewith. In order to provide the optimum exposure time for each of the colors, the integration time (~exp) for each of the channels is controlled independently. The line readout ...

Short nucleotide sequences of human papilloma virus useful for the determination of the presence and type of human papilloma virus present in a test sample. The sequences provided can be amplified by polymerase chain reaction or ligase chain reaction. The sequences provided also can be hybridized by standard slot-, dot- or replica-blot procedures. Methods and kits also are provided for the detecti...

A method for the preparation of a 3' end functionalized polynucleotide is disclosed. An amine-functionalized solid phase support is treated sequentially with an anhydride, then with an omega -hydroxylamine. A polynucleotide is chemically synthesized on the treated support and is subsequently cleaved therefrom by hydrolysis of the amide bonds. A polynucleotide having a 3' free primary amine is reco...

According to the invention there is provided a sterile, pyrogen-free, ready-to-use solution of an anthracycline glycoside, especially doxorubicin, which consists essentially of a physiologically acceptable salt of an anthracycline glycoside dissolved in a physiologically acceptable solvent therefor, which has not been reconstituted from a lyophilizate and which has a pH of from 2.5 to 6.5. The sol...
