Title: Juergen Hildenbrand and Optical Air-Bubble Detection
Introduction
Juergen Hildenbrand is an inventor associated with Huenenberg, Switzerland, and Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. His patent work addresses optical detection in in-vitro diagnostic analyzers.
Latest Patents
Hildenbrand is credited with 1 patent, titled “Detection of Air Bubbles in Optical Detection Unit.” The invention describes an analyzer with a cuvette for measuring a biological sample, an ultrasonic piezo actuator on one side, and a piezo receiver on the opposite side. In lysis mode, the actuator sends ultrasonic waves through the cuvette to disrupt cellular particles. In air-detection mode, a controller compares changes in the received waves’ amplitude or phase with reference values to determine whether air is present and estimate its quantity.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects work on combining ultrasonic functions within an optical diagnostic system. The same actuator can support sample preparation and help detect air that could affect measurements.
Collaborations
The supplied information lists Alexander Kramlich and Michael Lambertson as Hildenbrand’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or establish that they collaborated on this invention.
Conclusion
Juergen Hildenbrand’s patent describes an ultrasonic approach to detecting air in a diagnostic analyzer’s cuvette while also supporting cellular disruption, linking sample preparation with measurement reliability.
