Patents by Inventor Demian R. Ifa

Demian R. Ifa 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).

  • MASS SPECTRAL TISSUE ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20240219410
    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.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 22, 2023
    Publication date: July 4, 2024
    Inventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Livia Schiavinato Eberlin, Christina Ramires Ferreira, Allison Lisa Dill, Demian R. Ifa
  • Mass spectral tissue analysis
    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
