Publication number: 20210354122Abstract: A system for analysis of a sample to aid in diagnosis and/or detection of the presence or absence, and/or the identity of, an analyte in the sample is provided. A cartridge with reagents to isolate nucleic acid from a sample inserted in the cartridge and to amplify the isolated nucleic acid, and an instrument that interacts with the cartridge, together provide a self-contained sample to answer system for detection, identification, differentiation and/or quantification of a target nucleic acid in a sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Johannes Kehle, Bruce Jacono, Werner Kroll, Kunal Sur, Zaheer Parpia, Andrew Eliopoulos, Matthew Morovich, Jesse McDaniels-Davidson, Jon Bjarnason, Jesse Witkowicki, Todd Linhoff, Todd Denison Pack

Patent number: 8202734Abstract: A test device and method for determining the presence or absence of an analyte in a fluid sample, the test device including a support bearing a mark thereon, and a matrix defining an axial flow path. In operation, an observation area in the test device becomes transparent, thereby allowing the user to view a mark that is present on a support that is disposed beneath the observation area. Typically, the mark on the underlying support is configured as a minus (?) sign. In the absence of analyte in the sample, the test device presents a negative result as a minus (?) signal. In the presence of analyte in the sample, however, the mark operates in concert with a perpendicular test line on the observation area to present a positive result as a plus (+) signal that is visible to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Quidel CorporationInventors: Jeremy Jerome, Mark Daquipa, Bruce Jacono, Hans Boehringer

Publication number: 20120021528Abstract: A test device and method for determining the presence or absence of one or more analytes in a fluid sample, the test device including a support or member bearing a mark thereon, and a matrix or member containing a capture zone. In operation, an observation area in the test device becomes transparent, thereby allowing the user to view a mark that is present on a support that is disposed beneath the observation area. Typically, the mark on the underlying support is configured as a minus (?) sign. In the absence of analyte in the sample, the test device presents a negative result as a minus (?) signal. In the presence of analyte in the sample, however, the mark operates in concert with a perpendicular test line on the observation area to present a positive result as a plus (+) signal that is visible to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: QUIDEL CORPORATIONInventors: Jeremy Jerome, Mark Daquipa, Bruce Jacono, Hans Boehringer, Paul Lambotte, Paul J.
