  • Patent number: 11959853
    Abstract: System and methods for analyzing single molecules and performing nucleic acid sequencing. An integrated device includes multiple pixels with sample wells configured to receive a sample, which when excited, emits radiation. The integrated device includes at least one waveguide configured to propagate excitation energy to the sample wells from a region of the integrated device configured to couple with an excitation energy source. A pixel may also include at least one element for directing the emission energy towards a sensor within the pixel. The system also includes an instrument that interfaces with the integrated device. The instrument may include an excitation energy source for providing excitation energy to the integrated device by coupling to an excitation energy coupling region of the integrated device.

  • Patent number: 6855354
    Abstract: The use of an improved method for freeze concentration is disclosed. The method provides for first freezing components of a pulpy slurry of Morinda citrifolia. More dilute components are extracted after the initial freezing. A secondary freezing process at a lower temperature allows more concentrated portions of a Morinda citrifolia slurry to be removed. Flavor and therapeutic oils remain in the resulting concentrate for improved flavor and health benefits.
