Publication number: 20240091770Abstract: The invention provides analyzers that improve tests for detecting specific cellular, viral, and molecular targets in clinical, industrial, or environmental samples. The invention permits efficient and specific selection and sensitive imaging detection of individual microscopic targets at low magnification. Automated embodiments allow efficient walk-away, on-demand, random-access high-throughput testing. The analyzers perform tests without requiring wash steps thus streamlining engineering and lowering costs. Thus, the invention provides analyzers that can deliver rapid, accurate, and quantitative, easy-to-use, and cost-effective tests for analytes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Bruce Walsh, Boris Blanter, Matthew Barra, Brian Connolly, Greg Yantz, Paul Gervasio, Don Straus

Patent number: 9643180Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for sensitive and specific detection of target molecules, cells, or viruses. The inventive method uses large area imaging to detect individual labeled targets complexed with a target-specific selection moiety. The invention eliminates wash steps through the use of target-specific selection through one or more liquid layers that can contain optical dye and density agents. By eliminating washes the invention simplifies instrumentation engineering and minimizes user steps and costs. The invention uses sensitive image analysis to enumerate individual targets in a large area, is scalable, and can be deployed in systems ranging in complexity from manual to highly automated.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2009Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: First Light Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Ezra Abrams, Sadanand Gite, Lisa Shinefeld, Don Straus, Gordon Siek, Greg Yantz
