  • Passive, gravity-driven system for treatment of an effluent in a diagnostic system
    Patent number: 11970406
    Abstract: Automated systems to make target compounds from slide stainer waste streams inactive utilizing advanced oxidation processes are described herein. Advanced oxidation processes are promoted by UV irradiation and further accelerated by use of radical initiators, such as hydrogen peroxide. The automated systems further include mechanisms for segregating components of the waste streams.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2024
    Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Nathan Crum, Joseph M. Jakubowski, Jerome W. Kosmeder, II, Eric May, Michael Otter, Taylor J. Shingler, Benjamin C. Stevens

  • MODIFIED SURFACES FOR THE DETECTION OF BIOMOLECULES AT THE SINGLE MOLECULE LEVEL
    Publication number: 20100323110
    Abstract: Support surfaces are disclosed that are designed to support molecules or molecular assemblies immobilized thereon so that the molecules or molecular assemblies can be observed in single molecule detections systems, where the support surfaces have reduced background and the fluorescent labels associated with the immobilized molecules or molecular assemblies have longer active lifetimes prior to permanent photo-bleaching or deactivation and have improve fluorescence properties and where the surfaces have more uniform fluorescent properties.
