Title: Edgar Diessel: Innovator in Molecular Screening and Micro Object Separation
Introduction
Edgar Diessel is a prominent inventor based in Cologne, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the fields of molecular screening and micro object separation. With a total of 3 patents, Diessel's work has advanced the understanding and application of molecular interactions.
Latest Patents
One of Diessel's latest patents is a process and device for the screening of molecules with regard to their individual binding behavior towards at least one given ligand. This innovative process involves mixing ligands labeled with a fluorescent dye with a molecule library in suspension. After washing out the excess unbound ligands, the mixture is plated on a two-dimensional substrate. The local fluorescence intensities are then identified using a fluorescence microscope and electronically discriminated based on specific selection criteria. The selected objects are precisely positioned and spatially separated from the substrate using a separation actuator.
Another notable patent is a device for separating micro objects, particularly biological objects. This device facilitates the transfer of micro objects from a current substrate to a target substrate. It employs a displaceable pipette system connected to a pressure-generating device for aspirating and flushing out biological objects. The pipette system is integrated into a micromanipulator and features a microcapillary with a clear width ranging from 1 µm to 50 µm.
