Patent number: 12195748Abstract: Delivering a payload across a plasma membrane of a cell includes providing a population of cells and contacting the population of cells with a volume of an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes the payload and alcohol content greater than 5 percent concentration. The volume of the aqueous solution may be a function of exposed surface area of the population of cells, or may be a function of a number of cells in the population of cells. Related compositions, apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Avectas LimitedInventors: Michael Maguire, Shirley O'Dea

Patent number: 12104166Abstract: Methods, systems, processes, and apparatuses are provided for delivery across cell membranes. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a substrate including a mixing channel, a process chamber, and a dilution channel to perform delivery of the payload to across the cell membranes. In another aspect, a system includes reservoirs for a cell suspension, a delivery solution, and a stop solution connected to a pump. The system further includes an agitator, a heater, a temperature controller, and a controller to operate the system. In yet another aspect, cells in suspension are mixed with a delivery solution in a microfluidic mixing chip. The delivery solution includes a permeabilization agent to cause permeabilization of the cells, allowing delivery of a payload from the delivery solution to the cells across the cell membranes.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Avectas LimitedInventor: Michael Maguire

Patent number: 11801364Abstract: An apparatus includes a catheter, and an electrode and methods of delivering molecules to eukaryotic cells using such an apparatus. The catheter defines a fluidic channel and has a distal opening. The electrode is within the fluidic channel and is spaced a distance from the distal opening of the catheter. The catheter is arranged to prevent direct contact between any electrode of the apparatus and tissue. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Avectas LimitedInventors: Michael Maguire, Shane Finnegan
