Latest Patents
Karen Whiting holds a patent for a device titled "Capture assay utilising a particulate analyte." This invention comprises a receptacle for receiving a suspension of particulate analyte, which contains a label for the particulate analyte. The device features a porous detection material that is permeable to the label but impermeable to the particulate analyte. When a liquid sample is introduced into the receptacle, capillary flow through the porous detection material begins. The particulate analyte is captured at the surface of the detection material, while the label is released and flows through, encountering the captured analyte to provide a signal. This design ensures high sensitivity by preventing the label from running ahead of the analyte.
