Processes and compositions for liposomal delivery of therapeuticals prepared by contacting an aqueous solution of an active agent with a solution of liposome-forming components containing one or more DILA2 amino acid compounds or lipids in organic solvent to form an impinging stream. A protocol including flow rates, pH, and an incubation period are used to control formation of liposomal components for therapeutic applications. The impinging stream may be collected and incubated to prepare a liposomal formulation which encapsulates the active agent. The composition can be quenched with buffer and filtered by tangential flow and diafiltration and other means for finishing as a pharmaceutical composition. An efficiency for delivering a drug cargo is provided. Compositions can include a liposome containing one or more carrier particles, each carrier particle having an active agent and a peptide, wherein the ratio of the mass of the peptide plus the mass of the liposome to the mass of the active agent is less than about 15.

A system and method for developing and utilizing particle-based n-multiplexed assays that include three or more reporters utilizes n particle sets that are associated with particle identification images or labels (IDs) that differ between sets. The encoded particles for a given set are coated with a specific binding member, or in the case of the sandwich assay with coupled capture and detector binding pair members, to form particle types. The sets of particle types are then pooled, and aliquots of the particle types are removed to assay vessels. Next, samples with three or four reporter molecules are supplied to the respective vessels. After one or more incubation periods, the particles are supplied to a reader system, which determines the particle IDs to identify the particle types and also detects the reporter signals. The reader system includes multiple excitation lasers that excite the various reporters in sequence or in parallel, to supply associated signals to one or more detectors. Emission filters and wavelength discriminators are included such that a given detector receives at a given time the signals associated with a single assay binding label. The system further develops greater capacity sandwich assays by assigning subsets of capture and detector antibody pairings to the three or four reporters, respectively. The system performs greater numbers of differential RNA expressions based on the use of the three or more reporters, with one or more reporters assigned to the reference sample and the other reporters assigned to respective test samples. The system and method are also capable of performing greater numbers of SNPs utilizing primer extension reactions, by assigning different color reporters to the respective nucleotides or terminators.

The clinical analyzer includes a cuvette carrier that is moved in a manner to provide flexible assay timing and variable incubation periods. Multiple assays having such varied incubation times can be run concurrently in random-access, avoiding timing conflicts. Fluid delivery stations are placed around the cuvette carrier in positions that are independent of assay timing. The cuvettes move in unison, in multiples of incremental steps, along a closed geometrical path. The cuvette carrier is movable variable distances in opposite directions in a single time cycle to position specific cuvettes at specific locations for delivery of sample or reagent. The direction of movement of the cuvette carrier is preferably based on a determination of the shortest distance between the cuvette and respective fluid delivery stations. However, in each time cycle there is a net progressive incremental stepwise movement of the cuvettes in a selected direction.

Moreover, a gamma- structure is enhanced, and the second phase particles are small to be dispersed. The obtained IF steel products have excellent deep drawing property, thus solving the current difficulty that the IF steels with excellent deep drawing property are hard to be produced by the cover-type annealing furnace.
