  • Publication number: 20250221403
    Abstract: A composition that can solvate biofilms and disrupt bacterial cell walls acts to both kill the bacteria by cell lysis and remove the biofilm. This solvent-containing composition is effective against a broad spectrum of microbes and can be used on a variety of surfaces, both living and inanimate. The polarity of the solvent component of the composition is lower than that of pure water so that the composition exhibits increased efficacy in solvating the macromolecular matrix of a biofilm and in penetrating bacterial cell walls.

  • Patent number: 12349940
    Abstract: A method for automated, artificial-intelligence-based denudation includes scanning, robotically, a dish containing a cumulus-oocyte-complex (COC) using an imaging system and an artificial intelligence/machine learning system (AI/ML system) to create an image object. The imaging system includes a microscopy system, a camera system, and a lighting system. The dish includes an enzyme to remove cumulus cells from an oocyte among the COC. The method includes identifying the COC within the image object, and a location, based on comparing the image object to a threshold using the AI/ML system. The threshold is an optical pattern with a probability of corresponding to a COC mass. The method includes instructing a robotic pipettor to collect the COC at the location. The method includes iteratively collecting the COC within the robotic pipettor and expelling the COC to return it to the dish until the AI/ML system confirms sufficient removal of cumulus and corona cells.
