Latest Patent Applications
Vico Beier's latest patent application is titled "ASSAYS - A method for assaying a sample for each of multiple analytes." This method involves contacting an array of spaced-apart test zones with a liquid sample, such as whole blood. The test zones are located within a channel of a microfluidic device, which is defined by at least one flexible wall. Each test zone contains a probe compound specific for a respective target analyte. The device is designed to be compressed, reducing the thickness of the channel, which allows for the optical detection of interactions at each test zone. These interactions indicate the presence of target analytes in the sample.
Conclusion
Vico Beier's innovative work in microfluidic technology showcases his potential as an inventor in the field of diagnostics. His contributions, particularly in assay methods, highlight the importance of advancements in medical technology.
