| 20100055721 | Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering and Multiplexed Diagnostic Assays - Multiplexed lateral flow assays, related methods, and devices are disclosed which are capable of simultaneously detecting multiple analytes. The assays are preferably immunoassays and can be multiplexed spatially, spectrally, and both spatially and spectrally. Multiplexed assays are disclosed employing quantum dots for applications including the detection of human proteins and the monitoring of microorganisms relevant to water contamination. The multiplexed assays can employ one or more species of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering nanoparticles, with one or more species having a unique Raman shift spectrum. The invention is widely adaptable to a variety of analytes such as biowarfare agents, human clinical markers, and other substances. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100075347 | METHODS OF DETECTION USING ACOUSTO-MECHANICAL DETECTION SYSTEMS - Methods for detecting target biological analytes within sample material using acousto-mechanical energy generated by a sensor are disclosed. The acousto-mechanical energy may be provided using an acousto-mechanical sensor, e.g., a surface acoustic wave sensor such as, e.g., a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave sensor (e.g., a LSH-SAW sensor). The detection of the target biological analytes in sample material are enhanced by coupling of the target biological analyte (e.g., through the use of magnetic particles), application of a magnetic field to draw the target analyte to the sensor surface, and subsequent removal of the magnetic field before measuring detection. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110201032 | Immunosensors: scFv-linker design for surface immobilization - An apparatus and methods for binding an analyte of interest in a sample are provided. The apparatus comprises a substrate with an exposed surface with an compound, that is electrostatically charged or capable of forming hydrogen bonds, provided bound to the solid substrate. A recombinant single chain antibody (scFv) molecule specific for the analyte of interest, having one or more amino acids with charged or hydrogen-bond forming sidechains in a linker polypeptide portion, is bound to the layer on the solid substrate. When the analyte of interest is present in the sample the scFv binds the analyte to the solid substrate. The apparatus can be used with an immunoglobulin layer to detect Fc receptors, so as to detect microorganisms such as | 08-18-2011 |

| 20120149037 | COLORIMETRIC SENSORS CONSTRUCTED OF DIACETYLENE MATERIALS - Colorimetric sensors for detection of an analyte are disclosed. Methods of using the colorimetric sensor and a kit for the colorimetric detection of an analyte are also disclosed. | 06-14-2012 |
| 20130022997 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AGAINST PBP2A DERIVED FROM MRSA WITH DUAL BINDING ACTIVITIES - Mouse monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing the Penicillin Binding Protein 2a (PBP2a) derived from a strain of Methicillin-Resistant | 01-24-2013 |
| 20140087395 | METHOD FOR DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN SPECIES WITHIN THE GENUS STAPHILOCOCCUS - The object was to provide a method for distinguishing between species within the genus | 03-27-2014 |
| 20150125884 | Magnetic Labeling of Bacteria - The present invention provides novel methods of magnetically labeling a bacterial cell by contacting the call with an affinity ligand and subsequently contacting the cell with a magnetic agent, where the affinity ligand and magnetic agent include bioorthogonally reactive groups that can react with each other to form a covalent bond. Compounds, compositions, kits and applications of the method are also described. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20160041166 | CONJUGATION OF MULTIPLE VANCOMYCIN MOLECULES ON A POLYVINYL ALCOHOL BACKBONE FOR THE CAPTURE OF MICROORGANISMS - The present disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for the rapid detection, eparation and/or isolation of microorganisms. Specifically, the disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for using vancomycin—PVA backbone complexes to capture and/or concentrate microorganisms in an aqueous sample, such as gram positive and/or gram negative bacteria in solution. | 02-11-2016 |
