Patent number: 11976262Abstract: A biological culture unit comprises a chamber body and a valve plate. The chamber body has defined therein a growth chamber and an aliquot chamber. The valve plate is disposed on the top surface of the chamber body and is movable to define selectable configurations of the biological culture unit for: (1) loading the growth chamber; (3) transferring an aliquot from the growth chamber to the aliquot chamber via a path defined within the biological culture unit in the transfer position; and (4) extracting the aliquot from the aliquot chamber. The selectable positions may further include (2) a growth position, and (5) a termination position for putting a termination agent into the growth and aliquot chambers. The valve plate may further include a neutralizer port that is aligned with the aliquot chamber in the loading position, for loading a neutralizing agent into the aliquot chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Charles L. Desanti, Ryan W. Daly, David Charles Seibert, Jr., Patrick Norris, John Bartholomew, Sherry K. Blight

Patent number: 10976228Abstract: An apparatus for extracting a material from a liquid includes a concentration stage having a filter, a first path from the filter, and a second path from the filter. Under this configuration, the concentration stage accepts an initial liquid volume. A first liquid not having material collected by the filter is passed along the first path, and concentrated liquid having material therein, which is entrapped by the filter, is directed to the second path. The apparatus also includes an aerosolizing stage coupled to the concentration stage that converts the concentrated liquid into an aerosol and a drying stage that dries the aerosol such that material extracted from the aerosol onto a material substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Andrew P. Bartko, Kurt Blohm, Ryan W. Daly, Aaron M. Deal, Scott M. Gibbons, Susana Lira-Gonzalez, Benjamin J. Richetti, Nathan Roehr, Theodore J. Ronningen, Christopher Scheitlin

Patent number: 10585024Abstract: An apparatus for extracting a material from a liquid includes a concentration stage having a tangential flow filter, a first path from the tangential flow filter, and a second path from the tangential flow filter. Under this configuration, the concentration stage accepts an initial liquid volume. A first liquid not having material collected by the tangential flow filter is passed along the first path, and concentrated liquid having material therein, which is entrapped by the filter, is directed to the second path. The apparatus also includes an aerosolizing stage coupled to the concentration stage that converts the concentrated liquid into an aerosol and a drying stage that dries the aerosol such that material extracted from the aerosol onto a material substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Andrew P.

Patent number: 10207276Abstract: A small area electrostatic aerosol collector combines electrostatic collection of aerosol particles and electrohydrodynamic spraying of fluid so that a sample collected electrostatically can have fluid applied thereto. The fluid may assist with disaggregation and/or desalinization of biological material collected onto a sample substrate. A controller associated with the collector may control an electrostatic charge device and a spraying device such that the charge device and spraying device may operate in alternating fashion, or the charge device and spraying device may operate simultaneously. Further, mechanical systems are provided, for the disaggregation of particulate clusters collected onto a sample substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Andrew P.
