  • Patent number: 11959854
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides resonator networks adapted to a variety of applications. The networks include fluorophores, quantum dots, dyes, plasmonic nanorods, or other optical resonators maintained in position relative to each other by a backbone (e.g., a backbone composed of DNA). The networks may exhibit optical absorption and re-emission according to specified temporal decay profiles, e.g., to provide temporally-multiplexed labels for imaging or flow cytometry. The networks can include resonators that exhibit a dark state, such that the behavior of the network can be modified by inducing the dark state in one or more resonators. Such networks could be configured as logic gates or other logical elements, e.g., to provide multiplexed detection of analytes by a single network, to permit the temporal decay profile of the network to be adjusted (e.g., to use the networks as a controllable random number generator), or to provide other benefits.

  • Publication number: 20220218841
    Abstract: Provided for herein is a polynucleotide-modified bioconjugate comprising a substrate such as an antibody or bead linked to a conjugate component via a nucleic acid linker. Also provided are methods of making and using such bioconjugates. Conjugation methods for creating the bioconjugate are stable, not chemically harsh, and efficient enough that post-conjugation purification may not be required. Further this disclosure provides for reducing the logistic overheads related to product lines by eliminating the need for many unique linkers per conjugation pair.
