Data is acquired for an Identity System based on a one or more rules. proprietary inbred maize varieties. A convergence unit in the hardware device may receive and store the first token in a synchronization register. The amplification products are distinguished using the unique tag domains to reveal the abundance of the amplification products derived from each sample, which correlates to the relative abundance of the target in the samples. More specifically, the invention relates to a composite material comprising a gelled interpolymer consisting of a copolymer such as a polyacrylamide-imide and a polyvinyl alcohol polymer.
