Methods and Systems of Producing Single Stranded DNA via PCR Using Biotin-Labeled Primers
The present invention provides methods of producing single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) template. The method includes selecting either the (+)-strand or the (−)-strand of a dsDNA template as a target ssDNA, wherein if the target ssDNA is the (+)-strand of the dsDNA template, a biotin label is added onto the reverse primer, and wherein if the target ssDNA is the (−)-strand of the dsDNA template, a biotin label is added onto the forward primer. Next PCR is performed to produce biotinylated dsDNA fragments. Once the PCR is terminated, the biotinylated dsDNA fragments are purified. Next the target ssDNA is separated from the biotinylated dsDNA by immobilizing the biotinylated dsDNA onto a surface and precipitating the target ssDNA.

This invention provides compositions that have a light emitting reporter linked to biomolecules, preferably, nucleotide oligomers. The light reporter particles are silylated and functionalized to produce a coated light reporter particle, prior to covalently linking the biomolecules to the light reporter particle. The light reporter particles of the invention can be excited by a light excitation source such as UV or IR light, and when the biomolecule is DNA, the attached DNA molecule(s) are detectable by amplification techniques such as PCR.
This invention pertains to methods for authenticating an article comprising tagging the article with light emitting optical reporter particles, and more specifically tagging the articles with up-converting phosphor particles (UCP), linked to nucleic acids of detectable sequence.

METHOD FOR A CONTINUOUS RAPID THERMAL CYCLE SYSTEM
An efficient, high speed production scale synthesis method for high molecular weight organic substances such as DNA by methods which require multiple temperature environments. In a Polymerase Chain Reaction operation, a substantially ho-mogeneous liquid of the reactants is conveyed by tubing through a minimum of two temperature zones in the presence of a sufficient amount of a surface absorbing polymer to both condition the tubing and protect the catalyzing enzyme so as to increase production, efficiency and minimize down time needed to regenerate the system for further use. In particular, a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide is used.
