  • Patent number: 11747266
    Abstract: A system for irradiating a microplate may include a modular light engine with one or more light emitting devices. The light emitting devices are configured to emit germicidal radiation to irradiate the microplate, which is configured to be positioned below the modular light engine inside a chamber of the microplate irradiation system. In this way, a uniform intensity of germicidal radiation may be output by light emitting devices, resulting in disruption of contaminating nucleic acids present in the microplate.

  • Publication number: 20230055025
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a UV-VIS spectrophotometer, such as a UV-VIS detector unit included in a high-performance liquid chromatography system. In one example, a system for the UV-VIS detector unit may include a first light source, a signal detector, a flow path positioned intermediate the first light source and the signal detector, a second light source, and a reference detector. The first light source, the signal detector, and the flow path may be aligned along a first axis, and the second light source and the reference detector may be aligned along a second axis, different than the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20220010041
    Abstract: A photocurable composition and systems and methods of preparing and curing the photocurable composition are provided. In one example, a photocurable composition includes a photoinitiator mixture, consisting only of a mixture of biocompatible compounds, including one or more of naproxen, caffeine, uracil, quercetin, and cyanocobalamin, and a polymer resin.

  • Publication number: 20210340390
    Abstract: Biocompatible ink formulations are described herein. In one example, a biocompatible ink formulation includes an ink base and a biocompatible component that, when mixed with the ink base to form the biocompatible ink formulation and subject to curing via ultraviolet light, causes the biocompatible ink formulation to be white.

  • Patent number: 11077005
    Abstract: A portable, protective enclosure for coupling to a patient support includes a collapsible frame, a canopy drape, a pair of gloves and sleeves configured for receiving hands and arms of a user, and a zipper disposed along one of the side surfaces of the drape, wherein the side surface is not folded about itself when the zipper is in an open state. A pair of filters are disposed on opposing sides of one of the side surfaces of the canopy drape, the filters together providing high efficiency particulate air filtration for at least 99.97% of airborne particulate 0.3 microns in diameter. Gas-permeable media is provided for air intake. A fan in communication with the first and second filters is provided for creating negative pressure in the internal region of the canopy drape, the fan configured to evacuate air from the internal region. A negative pressure indicator also is included.
