  • Enzyme-functionalised nanobeads for anti-biofouling purposes
    Patent number: 11051517
    Abstract: A composition comprising a silica-based nanobead having its surface functionalized by a moiety selected from moieties that are reactive to and combine with a fouling layer on a material surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 6, 2021

  • Detection of target molecules in a sample by using a magnetic field
    Patent number: 10488408
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for detecting a target in a sample suspected of containing the target. The method comprises contacting the sample and a first binding molecule attached to a magnetic particle with a second binding molecule attached to a solid support. The first binding molecule is capable of binding to the second binding molecule, and the target is capable of interfering with this binding. Magnetic force is applied to bring the magnetic particle into close proximity with the solid support. The number of magnetic particles bound to the solid support is detected.
