Patent number: 11022598Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for analyte analysis using a nanopore are disclosed. The methods, devices, and systems utilize a first and a second binding member that each specifically bind to an analyte in a biological sample. The method further includes detecting and/or counting a cleavable tag attached to the second binding member and correlating the presence and/or the number of tags to presence and/or concentration of the analyte. Certain aspects of the methods do not involve a tag, rather the second binding member may be directly detected/quantitated. The detecting and/or counting may be performed by translocating the tag/second binding member through a nanopore. Devices and systems that are programmed to carry out the disclosed methods are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: ABBOTT LABORATORIESInventors: Jeffrey B.

Publication number: 20180095067Abstract: Integrated microfluidic and analyte detection devices are disclosed, along with methods of detecting target analytes. Digital microfluidic and analyte detection devices include a first substrate and a second substrate aligned generally parallel to each other to define a gap therebetween, the first substrate including a plurality of electrodes to generate electrical actuation forces on a liquid droplet disposed in the gap; at least one reagent disposed on at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate and configured to be carried by the liquid droplet; and an analyte detection device in fluid communication with the gap, wherein the plurality of electrodes are configured to move the liquid droplet towards the analyte detection device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2017Publication date: April 5, 2018Applicant: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Jeffrey B.

Patent number: 9801946Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventions comprise composites of polyurethane(s), osteoconductive matrix, and, optionally, a growth factor. Embodiments further comprise methods of making such composite and uses thereof. The osteoconductive matrix can be a tricalcium phosphate, bioglass, or the like, and can include particles that are surface modified. Growth factors can be provided in powder form, including bone morphogenic proteins such as rhBMP-2. A composition may be moldable and/or injectable. After implantation or injection, a composition may be set to form a porous composite that provides mechanical strength and supports the in-growth of cells.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Vanderbilt UniversityInventors: Scott A. Guelcher, Jerald Dumas, Edna M. Prieto, Anne Talley, Andrew Harmata, Katarzyna Zienkiewicz

Publication number: 20150182667Abstract: Embodiments of the presently-disclosed subject matter provide composites that comprise a tissue graft and a biofilm dispersal agent. The tissue graft can be bone tissue graft, a soft tissue graft, or the like. In specific embodiments the tissue graft is a polyurethane graft and in other embodiments the tissue graft is bone particles, such as demineralized bone matrix. The biofilm dispersal agent can be one or more D-amino acids. The presently-disclosed subject matter further includes methods for treating tissue of a subject that comprise administering the present composites as well as methods for manufacturing the present composites.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2013Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Scott A. Guelcher, Joseph C. Wenke, Carlos C. Sanchez, Jr., Kevin S. Akers, Chad A. Kruger, Edna M. Prieto, Katarzyna Zienkiewicz
