  • Aquatic sample analysis system
    Patent number: 9945831
    Abstract: According to one aspect, the invention relates to an aquatic sample analysis system adapted for in situ use. The system includes an incubation chamber having an optically clear portion and forming an opening for receiving a fluidic sample and apparatus for sealing the opening. The system also includes a sensor for sensing at least one parameter associated with the sample inside the chamber, a control module in communication with the sensor, and a power source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2018
    Assignees: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Washington Center for Commercialization
    Inventors: Benjamin A. S. Van Mooy, Richard G. Keil
  • Bioactive compounds from phytoplankton containing glycosidic residue for apoptosis and cancer treatment
    Patent number: 9217741
    Abstract: Phytoplankton represent a potential source of bioactive compounds. The present disclosure provides, inter alia, methods for identifying glycerolipids and apoptosis-inducing sphingosine-like lipids from virally-infected phytoplankton.
