Radial Partition Enzyme Immunoassay
Radial Partition Immunoassay permits highly sensitive measurements of both low and high molecular weight ligands. The entire immunoassay is conducted on a small section of filter paper and assays can be done in less than 10 minutes. A variety of labels can be used with the technology including enzymes, fluorophores, chromophores or radioisotopes. We have achieved a high degree of sensitivity using enzyme labels and fluorescent readout of enzyme activity. The general principles of the radial partition enzyme immunoassay system are illustrated in Fig. 1.
Abstract A very promising spin physics programme will be soon on the way at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). By studying the spin asymmetries for various processes (single photon, single jet and W ± production), we will compare the different predictions obtained using some sets of polarized parton distributions, available in the recent literature. We will put some emphasise on the analysis of the anticipated errors, given the event rates expected from this high luminosity new machine and the current acceptance for the detector systems at RHIC.
