  • Patent number: 10107752
    Abstract: The invention encompasses analyzers and analyzer systems that include a single molecule analyzer, methods of using the analyzer and analyzer systems to analyze samples, either for single molecules or for molecular complexes. The single molecule uses electromagnetic radiation that is translated through the sample to detect the presence or absence of a single molecule. The single molecule analyzer provided herein is useful for diagnostics because the analyzer detects single molecules with zero carryover between samples.

  • Patent number: 9823194
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, kits, and compositions for the highly sensitive detection of molecules. The methods, kits, and compositions are useful in determining concentrations of molecules in samples to levels of 1 femtomolar, 1 attomolar, or lower. The methods, kits, and compositions also allow the determination of concentration over a wide range, e.g., 7-log range, without need for sample dilution.

  • Patent number: 9068991
    Abstract: Cardiovascular disease, e.g., congestive heart failure, is often first diagnosed after the onset of clinical symptoms, eliminating potential for early intervention. The invention provides a multi-marker immunoassay, including cardiac pathology and vascular inflammation biomarkers, yielding a more sensitive assay for early detection of CHF in plasma. A panel consisting of cardiac pathology (cTnI, BNP) and vascular inflammation (IL-6, TNF?, IL-17a) biomarkers provided a sensitivity of 94% for association with CHF.

  • Publication number: 20140227715
    Abstract: Methods, kits, and systems for determining vulnerable plaque burden in a subject. The methods involve measuring an amount of at least one biomarker in a blood sample from the subject, wherein the at least one biomarker is selected from the group consisting of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). The concentration of these biomarkers in a sample from the subject are used to determine vulnerable plaque burden in the subject.
