  • Publication number: 20220412951
    Abstract: An example blood cell lysis composition includes a buffer and a secondary alcohol ethoxylate at a concentration in the range of about 2.5 percent (%) to about 20% weight per volume (w/v). The secondary alcohol ethoxylate may include Tergitolâ„¢ TMN-100X or Tergitolâ„¢ 15-S-9. The composition may be configured to lyse at least 90% of blood cells in a blood sample.

  • Patent number: 8525998
    Abstract: An optical phase processing system for a scattering medium. A first beam has a direction and a wavefront and the first beam is configured to enter a holographic recording medium. A scattering medium is illuminated by a signal beam generating at least one scattered beam. An interference pattern is recorded from the at least one scattered beam and the first beam. A second beam is generated in a direction opposite to the direction of the first beam, the second beam having a wavefront and a phase substantially opposite to a phase of the wavefront of the first beam, and the second beam is configured to enter the holographic recording medium. The second beam and the interference pattern interact to generate at least one reconstructed beam having a phase substantially opposite to a phase of the at least one scattered beam, and the at least one reconstructed beam is configured to be viewable through the scattering medium.
