Patents by Inventor Alois KOLTERMANN

Alois KOLTERMANN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11268632
    Abstract: A microfluidic analysis device and manufacturing method are provided. The microfluidic analysis device includes a capillary substrate, a cover substrate adjacent to a cover side of the capillary substrate and/or a bottom substrate adjacent to a bottom side of the capillary substrate, a capillary structure with at least one capillary, forming a hollow channel, in the interior of the capillary substrate and/or at the interface of the capillary substrate with the cover substrate and/or at the interface of the capillary substrate with the bottom substrate and also a fluid-conducting arrangement for conducting a fluid through the capillary structure. The fluid-conducting arrangement may be designed for compartmenting the fluid by way of controlled pressure pulses.

  • Patent number: 10427157
    Abstract: A microfluidic analysis device and manufacturing method are provided. The device includes a capillary substrate, a cover substrate adjacent to a cover side of the capillary substrate and/or a bottom substrate adjacent to a bottom side of the capillary substrate, a capillary structure with at least one capillary in the interior of the capillary substrate and/or at the interface of the capillary substrate with the cover substrate and/or with the bottom substrate, and a fluid-conducting arrangement for conducting a fluid through the capillary structure. The arrangement may be designed for compartmenting the fluid using controlled pressure pulses. A linear sensor element extends toward and/or away from and/or along the capillary, a fluid contact end of which and at least an adjacent part of its feed lie in the plane of the capillary, and may be integrated in the device.
