Introduction

Jan Schwellenbach is an inventor associated with Dransfeld, Germany. His patent work concerns a fluorescent hydrogel-based structure for monitoring aqueous liquid media and supporting analytical evaluation.

Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent associated with Schwellenbach: “Analytical Evaluation of Aqueous Liquid Media with Sample Monitoring Structure Having Size-Sensitive Fluorescent Hydrogel.” The invention uses a fluorescently labeled hydrogel that changes size in response to changes in properties of the aqueous medium it contacts. As the hydrogel’s size changes, the intensity of its fluorescent emission changes, providing a signal that can be measured.

The sample monitoring structure is designed for analytical systems that process and evaluate many fluid samples over extended periods. Potential applications described for the invention include flow cytometry, live-cell imaging and analysis, and parallel bioreactor systems. The structure may also take the form of monitoring beads added directly to liquid samples. Schwellenbach is associated with 1 patent, according to the provided data.
