Patents by Inventor Christina Ramires Ferreira

Christina Ramires Ferreira 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: 11860172
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to mass spectral analysis. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve analyzing a lipid containing sample using a mass spectrometry technique, in which the technique utilizes a liquid phase that does not destroy native tissue morphology during analysis. Due to the use of a liquid phase that does not destroy native tissue morphology during analysis, a subsequent staining technique can be performed on the tissue sample and an overlaid image can be produced of a mass spectral image and a staining image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10168312
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems methods for screening a sample based on multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for screening a sample that involve ionizing a sample. Mass spectrometry is then used in order to monitor specific transitions connecting one or more ion pairs within the sample in order to generate a multidimensional chemical profile of the sample. Then, the multidimensional chemical profile of the sample is compared to a database of reference multidimensional chemical profiles, thereby screening the sample. Each reference multidimensional chemical profile is produced from a training set of data.
