  • Patent number: 12055544
    Abstract: Diagnostic assay devices for detecting the presence of an analyte in a sample solution may comprise a microreactor configured to form a sample solution containing the analyte, flow the sample solution therethrough in a first direction to form an analyte-capture molecule complex, and transfer the sample solution to an absorbent strip pad configured to flow therethrough, in a second direction crossing the first direction, the sample solution including the analyte-capture molecule complex and indicate a presence of the analyte-capture molecule complex. The diagnostic devices may be used, for example, to identify the presence of SARS-Cov2, RSV, influenza A, influenza B or other pathogens in samples from patients.

  • Patent number: 10048251
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a strip for an improved lateral flow assay of a biological sample on a single plane and a lateral flow chromatography assay using a test device containing the same. The strip of the present invention consists of a single-pad, which can improve lateral flow assay by providing an easy and simple procedure and clear visual reading. The strip of the present invention is consisted of sample application (sample) zone and reactant-resultant zone where the reaction mixture is deposited (reactant) are all on a same plane. In addition, the present invention provides a chromatographic method wherein hemoglobin is separated from analyte by a differential chromatography on the solid phase. Any interference of detection of the result by hemoglobin is removed by the present invention. The present invention provides advantages including an easy and simple procedure with a quick and clear response.
