Patent number: 10160994Abstract: A device is disclosed for conducting a non-invasive analysis of a bodily fluid to determine the presence and level of a certain constituent carried by the bodily fluid. An indicator formulation of the device changes color in response to exposure to the constituent to provide a visible indication of the presence and level of the constituent carried by the bodily fluid. A carrier substrate of the device is constructed of a material having voids providing a high void volume within the substrate. The device is made by applying a chromagen to the carrier substrate to create a chromagen-laden carrier member. Then, a selected reagent having a particular constituent-specific formulation is applied to the chromagen-laden member. The selected reagent then combines with the chromagen thereby establishing the indicator formulation within the carrier substrate in place for reception of a sample of the bodily fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Pop Test LLCInventors: Randice Lisa Altschul, Neil Theise, Myron Rapkin, Rebecca O'Brien

Patent number: 9005914Abstract: A device and method are disclosed for use in the conduct of a non-invasive analysis of a bodily fluid to determine the presence and level of a certain constituent carried by the bodily fluid, which analysis utilizes an indicator formulation that changes color in response to exposure to the constituent to provide a visible indication of the presence and level of the constituent carried by the bodily fluid. A stabilizing formulation is carried in a vessel for mixing with a sample of the bodily fluid to be analyzed. The stabilizing formulation includes a first component for promoting formation of a film, a second component for adjusting the pH of the sample and inhibiting microbial digestion of the certain constituent carried by the bodily fluid, and a third component for reducing interference of ascorbic acid present in the bodily fluid. Where the certain constituent is glucose, the stabilizing formulation includes a microbial digestion inhibitor.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Pop Test LLCInventors: Randice Lisa Altschul, Myron Rapkin, Rebecca O'Brien

Patent number: 8889427Abstract: The invention provides for rapid response analysis through lateral flow chromatographic assays of specific antigens present in human or animal fluids, or in agricultural, microbial or biological products, with an audio and visual result of the analysis and when needed, an electronic surge to provide heat for rapid results. A lateral flow device for conducting the analysis includes a plurality of components, and a method for making the device forms components of the device on an elongate, ribbon-like substrate of dielectric material, then folds the substrate into shorter lengths which are then secured together to establish a multiple-layered, self-sustaining structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Pop Test, LLCInventors: Randice Lisa Altschul, Neil David Theise, Myron Rapkin, Rebecca O'Brien
