Patents Assigned to Countable Labs, Inc.
  • Patent number: 12631651
    Abstract: This disclosure provides for devices, methods, and systems for generating a plurality of droplets within a collecting container at an extremely high rate (e.g., of at least 1 million droplets per minute, etc.), each of the plurality of droplets comprising an aqueous mixture for a digital analysis, wherein upon generation, the plurality of droplets is stabilized in position within a region of the collecting container. The inventions enable partitioning of samples for digital analyses at unprecedented rates, where readout of signals from targets within such partitions can still be achieved in accordance with various assays.

  • Publication number: 20260063053
    Abstract: The disclosure provides compositions, methods, and systems for implementation of highly multiplexed molecular diagnostic assays involving color combinatorics, stimulus-responsive probes, tandem probes, conjugated polymer probes, and other mechanisms for increasing the number of targets that can be simultaneously detected in a digital assay. Multiplexed detection of targets is achieved in a rapid manner, with respect to sample partitioning and target detection using multiple color channels for detection. Implementation of methods described also achieve detection with significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values.

  • Publication number: 20260062748
    Abstract: This disclosure provides for devices, methods, and systems for performing a non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) digital assay upon generating at least a large number of counts per chromosome for a set of chromosomes present in a sample, where performing the NIPT digital assay can include: distributing nucleic acids of the sample and materials for an amplification reaction across a plurality of partitions; amplifying the nucleic acids with the materials, within the plurality of partitions; and generating counts per chromosome upon detecting signals from the plurality of partitions. The inventions enable processing of samples for NIPT digital analyses and/or other digital analyses involving other loci of interest, with unprecedented partitioning, reaction, readout, and analytical performance.
