Latest Patent Applications
Almudena's notable patent application is titled "Apparatus and Method for Lateral Flow Affinity Assays." This invention provides apparatus for the quantitative analysis of an analyte in a sample. It comprises a solid phase and a detector, wherein the surface of the solid phase includes a first position for sample application and a second position, distant from the first position. A first molecule that binds to the analyte and is capable of releasing a detectable species is either deposited at the first position or added to the sample prior to application to the LF membrane. Additionally, a second molecule that binds to the analyte is immobilized at the second position, along with an enzyme that is co-located with the immobilized molecule. The detector is located in close proximity to the immobilized molecule at the second position.
Conclusion
Almudena Celaya Sanfiz is an emerging inventor whose work in lateral flow affinity assays holds promise for future advancements in biotechnology. Her innovative approach may lead to significant developments in the field.
