Publication number: 20220365074Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for determining, treating, and/or isolating cells of interest, e.g., within a mixture of cells. In some cases, the cells may be cells infected with viruses, such as coronaviruses. In some embodiments, blood samples (or other biological fluids, such as saliva) may be treated with a pH-sensitive entity. The pH-sensitive entity may be one that is able to change color or otherwise produce a signal in suitable internal environments. For example, cells infected by viruses, such as coronaviruses, may have differences in intracellular pH compared to other cells, which can be detected, for example, using pH-sensitive entities. In certain embodiments, the cells may be sorted based on such signaling entities; for example, illumination of cells in a suitable machine for sorting cells (e.g., using fluorescent light) may allow determination of the cells, which may also be recovered or isolated for further manipulation in some cases.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: Analiza, Inc.Inventors: Alan Bauer, Arnon Chait
