Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "High throughput flow cytometer operation with data quality assessment and control." This invention provides a flow system and method for reliable multiparameter data acquisition and particle sorting. The flow system assesses changes in the pattern of data collected in successive time intervals and actuates corrective actions whenever the changes exceed predetermined limits. This innovation addresses challenges associated with collecting data and sorting particles in flow cytometry systems that operate for prolonged periods or accommodate samples that vary widely in quality.
Another notable patent is the "Rapid particle detection assay." This invention offers instruments and methods for detecting and quantifying an analyte in a fluid sample. The fluid sample is placed in a sample chamber with a small, shallow detection region. The analyte is magnetically labeled using magnetic particles coated with a binding reagent and detectably labeled using a fluorescent dye or other detection reagent. The magnetically labeled analyte is concentrated into the detection region using a focusing magnet positioned underneath the sample chamber detection region. This invention provides a simple, rapid assay for measuring the concentration of CD4T cells in a whole blood sample.
