Patent number: 9581602Abstract: A method of selecting a monoclonal cell colony that secretes a product of interest providing a plurality of cell culture spaces; each cell culture space has a respective assessment surface with a first binding agent immobilized on the assessment surface. The cells are incubated in a growth medium in the cell culture spaces for replication of the cells. At least some of the cells secrete a product of interest. A second binding agent is provided in the cell culture spaces. Initially, the second binding agent is not immobilized. Each of the first and second binding agents binds to the product of interest so that secretion of the product of interest by cells in any one of the cell culture spaces leads to a complex with the first binding agent, the product of interest and the second binding agent forming at the corresponding assessment surface of the cell culture space.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Molecular Devices, LLCInventors: Christopher John Mann, Julian Francis Burke, Alasdair Macmillan Robertson

Publication number: 20170039706Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to iterative regularized reconstruction methods. In certain embodiments, the methods incorporate locally-weighted total variation denoising to suppress artifacts induced by PSF modeling. In certain embodiments, the methods are useful for suppressing ringing artifacts while contrast recovery is maintained. In certain embodiments, the weighting scheme can be extended to noisy measures introducing a noise-independent weighting scheme. The present disclosure is also directed to a method for quantifying radioligand binding in a subject without collecting arterial blood. In certain embodiments, the methods incorporate using imaging data and electronic health records to predict one or more anchors, which are used to generate an aterial input function (AIF) for the radioligand.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Arthur MIKHNO, Elsa D. ANGELINI, Andrew F. LAINE, Todd OGDEN, Ramin PARSEY, Joseph John MANN
