Latest Patents
Elham Salimi holds a patent for a "Parallel single cell lens free optical dielectrophoresis cytometer." This invention features a dual light source lens-free dielectrophoresis (DEP) flow cytometer designed for massively parallel single-cell analysis. The technology infers each cell's dielectric properties by measuring their altitude and the subsequent velocity change due to DEP actuation in a microfluidic channel. The use of dual LED sources allows for precise velocity measurement by creating two shadows for each cell as it passes through the channel. These shadows are detected using a linear optical array detector, enabling independent analysis of each passing cell. The DEP cytometer is composed of simple modular components, which allows for scalability and the potential to achieve significantly high throughput in label-free single-cell analysis.
