  • Quantification of inflammatory molecules in exhaled breath condensate using differential pulse voltammetry on reduced graphene oxide sensor
    Patent number: 10670580
    Abstract: A device for detecting a biomarker for inflammation in a respiratory system includes a sample collection and/or holding area to receive an exhaled breath condensate (EBC) sample obtained from a respiratory system; an electrode system coupled to the sample collection area, the electrode system including reduced graphene oxide (rGO); and circuitry coupled to the electrode system. The circuitry is configured to apply a voltage to the EBC sample in the sample collection area via the electrode system and to measure a current via the electrode system in response to the voltage applied, in order to determine a concentration of nitrite in the EBC sample based on the current measured. The concentration of nitrite is a biomarker for inflammation in the respiratory system.

  • Wipe template sampler
    Patent number: 5373748
    Abstract: A low cost, pressure insensitive, highly accurate portable house dust wipe template sampler having a dust pick-up element and a corresponding template having an aperture which exposes a testing surface of predetermined area. The dust pick-up element is comprised of a porous polyethylene "draindisc" filter removably mounted on an inert non-porous plastic body having a gripping handle. The polyethylene filter is sized to snugly fit across the sampling template of predetermined area. Three wipes within the template area by successive polyethylene filters provide a dust mass recovery efficiency/per given area of the template, in excess of 95%.
