BACKGROUND Macro-, micro-, and nanosized arrays of test sites at various densities have emerged as important types of analytical devices in response to the need for high volume parallel analysis in both the research and the clinical laboratory. CONTENT This review explores the diversity of arrays of reaction vessels and arrays of reagents and of samples, with an emphasis on the earliest descr...

Oligonucleotide primers specific for gene clusters involved in the biosynthesis of serotype-specific polysaccharide antigens were designed to identify Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotypes a to e using the multiplex PCR. This method may be useful for serotype-specific genotyping rapidly and directly from clinical samples containing various organisms.

Given an array with defective elements, failure correction (FC) aims at finding a new set of weights for the working elements so that properties original pattern can be recovered. Unlike several FC techniques available in literature, which update all excitations, Minimum-Complexity Failure Correction (MCFC) problem is addressed this paper. By properly reformulating problem, minimum number corre...
