Introduction

Max Fletcher Wilson is an inventor associated with Oxford, Great Britain, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited. His patent work concerns calibration and profiling of nanopore array devices, which use electrical measurements to characterize sensing elements.

Latest Patents

Wilson is named on 1 patent: “Calibration and Profiling of a Nanopore Array Device.” The invention describes a method for calibrating an array containing sensing electrodes and nanopore channels, with an ionic solution providing electrical communication between the sensing electrodes and a common electrode.

The method applies two or more test signals across the nanopore channels and measures a corresponding current or voltage for each sensing electrode. It then determines an offset for each electrode, calculates a general offset from those values, and adjusts a calibrated signal using that general offset. This approach is designed to account for differences among sensing elements during device calibration.

Career Highlights

Wilson’s listed patent connects his inventive work with nanopore sensing technology at Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited. The disclosed calibration method focuses on improving how signals are adjusted across an array of sensing elements.
