Patent number: 8936162Abstract: Methods of producing collection tubes are presented. The methods include providing a separator substance that can rapidly polymerize in a short time to a desired hardness and disposing the separator substance within the lumen of the tube. The separator substance is formulated to have a density between an average density of a serum fraction of whole blood and a cell-containing fraction of whole blood, and to be flowable with whole blood. Upon centrifugation of a tube having blood, the separator substance forms a barrier between the whole blood fractions. The tube and barrier maintain stability of one or more analyte levels, including potassium and glucose, within 10% of their initial values before centrifugation for at least four days.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventor: Jane Emerson

Patent number: 8337433Abstract: A time-reversal mirroring electromagnetic acoustic treatment system is disclosed where electro-magnetic signals are directed to a region of interest in or on a patient. The EM signals induce an internally sourced acoustic signal due to variations in conductivity of the target tissue. Acoustic data representative of the induced acoustic signal are collected and analyzed to develop a model of a measured conductivity topology representing the conductivity topology of the target tissue. Measured parameters associated with the measured conductivity topology and derived from the acoustic data can be used to generate a time-reversed mirror acoustic treatment signal that can be used to apply a therapeutic treatment to a target tissue within the region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2010Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Inventors: Stephen Anthony Cerwin, David B. Chang, Jane Emerson

Upon centrifugation of a tube having blood, the separator substance forms a barrier between the whole blood fractions. The barrier rapidly hardens forming a solid barrier when triggered by a suitable energy source.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2012Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventor: Jane Emerson
-
Patent number: 8282540Abstract: Methods for using a centrifuge are presented. A vessel containing a sample and a separator substance is placed within a centrifuge. Upon sufficient centrifugation, the sample separates into two or more fractions separated by the separator substance. The centrifuge exposes the separator substance to a sufficient energy to polymerize the separator substance to produce a hardened barrier between the fractions.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventor: Jane Emerson

Patent number: 8151996Abstract: Contemplated whole blood separators tubes include a curable composition with a density intermediate to the density of serum and the cell-containing fraction. After centrifugation, the curable composition is located between the serum and the cell-containing fraction and preferably irradiated with UV light to initiate a curing reaction in which the curable composition solidifies to a barrier that is immobilized and resistant to breakdown at freezing temperatures and extended storage.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventor: Jane Emerson
