  • Combined multiple-displacement amplification and PCR in an emulsion microdroplet
    Patent number: 11142791
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein provide an improved emulsion droplet based nucleic acid amplification method, which allows nucleic acids contained in biological systems to be detected, quantitated and/or sorted based on their sequence as detected with nucleic acid amplification techniques, e.g., polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The nucleic acids can be free floating or contained within living or nonliving structures, including particles, viruses, and cells. The nucleic acids can include, e.g., DNA or RNA.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2021
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Adam R. Abate, David Sukovich
  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20200354771
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for sample preparation and/or analysis. Samples may be cells, or may be derived from one or more cells. Sample preparation may comprise conducting one or more reactions on a target. Such reactions may be conducted in one or more partitions. One or more reactions may be performed in one or more successive operations.
