  • System and methods for detection of related analytes in biological fluids
    Patent number: 7262019
    Abstract: The invention provides a heterogeneous immunoassay for detection of antibodies and antigens based on specific antigen-antibody immune complex formation with multiple antigen-bearing conjugate components. The invention further provides means for optimizing the assay format for the detection of both low and high-affinity antibodies, and provides means for quantitative detection of both antibody and the corresponding antigen present in a sample. In preferred embodiments, the invention can be practiced to detect presence in biological fluid samples of antibodies to Bacillus anthracis related antigens.

  • Systems and methods for rapid blot screening
    Patent number: 6194160
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing membrane flow-through assays to provide more rapid testing. The systems include a plate for receiving a cartridge having a membrane which, for example, can be a membrane with antigens or antibodies fixed thereon. The agents can be pipetted onto the membrane and the systems can be activated to agitate the cartridge to evenly distribute the agents over the membrane, and a vacuum source can apply negative pressure to one side of the membrane to draw the agent therethrough.
