  • Individually and flexibly deployable target-analyte sensitive particulate probes and method of making and using
    Patent number: 9945778
    Abstract: Flexibly deployable, discrete, target-analyte sensitive particulate probes and methods of manufacturing and using. The probes each comprise a porous scaffold particle coated with an optically-active, target-analyte sensitive material. The scaffold particle has at least one of (i) a volume of 0.5 to 500 mm3, and (ii) a largest dimension of 2 to 20 mm.

  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RAPID ASSAY OF MULTIPLE BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FOR OXYGEN CONSUMPTION
    Publication number: 20140329332
    Abstract: Device (10) for rapid detection of biological oxygen consumption and method of classifying biological samples (e.g., positive and negative samples) (5) by detecting biological oxygen consumption. Each well (29) on a multi-well plate (20, 30) is hermetically sealed from the surrounding environment and other wells after deposit of a biological sample within the well by a cover plate (30) and an adherent gasket (40) sandwiched between the plates.

  • Tool and Method for Validating Operational Performance of a Photoluminescence Based Analytical Instrument
    Publication number: 20140315239
    Abstract: A reference vessel and a method of validating operational integrity of an analytical instrument using the reference vessel. The reference vessel has certain design features that render it particularly suited for interrogation by a specific analytical instrument, and is equipped with a surrogate probe that generates a perceptible signal of known value when interrogated by that instrument regardless of the actual value of the variable in communication with the surrogate probe.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF THERMODURIC MICROORGANISMS IN A PRODUCT
    Publication number: 20140147882
    Abstract: Method of detecting the presence of thermoduric microorganisms in a product that includes the steps of (i) placing an aliquot A of a product into a vessel 10 equipped with a probe 30 sensitive to a thermoduric microorganism metabolite, (ii) pasteurizing the aliquot A within the vessel 10, (iii) incubating the pasteurized aliquot A within the vessel 10 for an incubation period, and (iv) periodically interrogating the probe 30 during the incubation period.
