Patent number: 9468680Abstract: Drugs are screened for affects on inhibiting efflux pumps and blocking gap junction communication in tumors by culturing cells to thereby form self-assembled spheroids and incubating the spheroids. Uptake of a substrate of the efflux pump and distribution of a substrate for the efflux pump within the spheroids is imaged to thereby select drugs that inhibit the efflux pump or do not block gap junction communication. Selected drugs can then be employed to treat a tumor.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Brown UniversityInventors: Jeffrey R.

Patent number: 9355813Abstract: A method and system is provided for automatically preparing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples for examination by depositing extremely small samples onto a grid without need for a blotting step. A sample liquid droplet is formed at the end of a capillary, wherein a portion of the liquid is transferred to the TEM sample grid by contact. The excess volume in the liquid droplet is then retracted by an adjacent capillary. After a predetermined time interval, the retraction capillary is moved toward the drop of the sample to remove the excess volume. As compared to a conventional machine, where the blotting procedure can deform the structure of the molecule of interest, the present invention utilizes a very low shear rate for removal of the excess sample fluid.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2012Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignees: BROWN UNIVERSITY, RHODE ISLAND BOAD OF EDUCATION, STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONSInventors: Arijit Bose, Anubhav Tripathi, Jinkee Lee

Patent number: 7039527Abstract: A method for determining the molecular diffusivity of a solute in a microchannel where a solute is introduced into a first end of a microchannel and a first concentration profile is measured at first and second locations along the microchannel. A theoretical concentration profile can be calculated at the second location based on the measured first concentration profile at the first location. The molecular diffusivity can be found by minimizing the error when comparing the theoretical concentration profile to the measured second concentration profile. Further, this technique allows for average velocity to be measured simultaneously with molecular diffusivity.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Anubhav Tripathi, Josh Molho
