Daniel Benjamin Trevor Ward

Title: Daniel Benjamin Trevor Ward and Nanopore Array Calibration.

Introduction

Daniel Benjamin Trevor Ward is an inventor associated with Oxford, Great Britain, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited. His patent work concerns calibrating nanopore array devices, which use electrical measurements to support sensing across multiple nanopore channels.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Ward: Calibration and profiling of a nanopore array device. The invention describes a method for calibrating a device containing a common electrode, an array of sensing elements with sensing electrodes and nanopore channels, and an ionic solution that provides electrical communication between the electrodes.

The method applies two or more test signals across the nanopore channels and measures a corresponding current or voltage for each sensing electrode. It then determines an offset for each sensing electrode, calculates a general offset from those values, and adjusts the calibrated signal using that general offset. The approach is designed to account for differences among sensing elements in the array. Ward is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.
