  • Volatile Organic Compound-Based Diagnostic Systems And Methods
    Publication number: 20230118692
    Abstract: Provided are devices and methods to detect the presence of volatile organic compounds related to the presence of a disease state in a biological sample. The devices may include a detection moiety such as a polynucleoide in electronic communication with a semiconductor such as graphene or a carbon nanotube.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 28, 2022
    Publication date: April 20, 2023
    Inventors: Alan T. Johnson, Nicholas J. Kybert, George Preti, Katharine A. Prigge, Janos L. Tanyi, Cynthia Otto

  • Method and apparatus for measuring nitric oxide production and oxygen consumption in cultures of adherent cells
    Publication number: 20050112549
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring nitric oxide production and oxygen consumption in cultures of adherent cells continuously and without destroying the cells. The method involves flowing growth media through a tube having adherent cells are adhered to the inner surface thereof and then contacting the growth media with an NO or O2 sensor to detect the concentration of NO or O2 in the growth media.
