  • Micro lysis-analysis process to measure cell characteristics
    Patent number: 6174698
    Abstract: A micro lysis and analysis process applying precise quantities of focused energy, such as light energy, to a precise microscopic area of a very small cell sample to activate an energy sensitive agent, such as a fluorescing agent, which permits measurement of cell fragility providing a means for determining the sensitivity of cells to particular chemicals, drugs, and/or diseases and the susceptibility and/or exposure of the cells to same.

  • Microphoto lysis-anlaysis process to measure cell characteristics
    Patent number: 5610027
    Abstract: A method of determining cell membrane strength is disclosed, using focused light of selected frequency and energy density. The method is also useful in diagnosing the presence of certain diseases in cells, by comparing the membrane strength of cells exposed to cell-characteristic altering drugs to the membrane strength of a control group of cells.
