Latest Patents

Zhong H Fan holds a patent for a "Method and system for inhibiting cross-contamination in fluids." This invention features a microelectronic and fluidic array that includes micron-sized reservoirs, connecting microchannels, and reaction cells etched into a substrate. The device array is designed to perform a variety of combinatorial processes in parallel. It is supported by a station that interfaces and conducts electro-optic measurements of materials within the reaction cells. The modular configuration of the device array consists of three distinct layers: a top feedthru plate, a center distribution plate, and a bottom cell plate. These plates are stacked vertically and sealed to ensure a liquid-tight environment. The top feedthru plate covers the device array and has apertures positioned above the reservoirs in the center distribution plate. The center distribution plate contains multiple micron-sized reservoirs and microchannels for distributing reagent fluids to the reaction cells in the bottom cell plate. The detachable bottom cell plate acts as a microlaboratory tray for the reaction cells, allowing for easy removal for incubation or analysis.
