  • Ultrasound test method, and related test device and well plate
    Patent number: 11422115
    Abstract: In a method for performing ultrasound tests which uses a suitable device for performing such tests, a well plate implements an insulation between the different wells of the plate of such set, without significant reflections of ultrasounds which could alter the test itself since the well plate is covered by means for closing said wells which insulates the content thereof by wholly covering the well plate and having a sound transmission speed which differs from that of the transmission liquid in the bath no more than +/?15%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2022
    Inventor: Gaetano Barbato
  • Ultrasound test method, and related test device and well plate
    Patent number: 11351549
    Abstract: In a method for performing ultrasound tests which uses a suitable device for performing such tests, a well plate implements an insulation between the different wells of the well plate of such set, without significant ultrasound transmissions in the plate material, wherein a filling material of the accessible spaces outside the wells is provided which do not reflect nor transmit waves in an extent higher than +/?10%.

  • Device for ultrasound tests
    Patent number: 10295505
    Abstract: A device for ultrasound tests, includes one or more transducers for generating ultrasound beams with different powers/frequencies to be projected in direction of multiple targets, to ensure separate control of the temperature both of the targets and of the transducers and allows performing several tests contemporarily, by optimizing the functionality and the efficiency of the device, and guaranteeing results comparable therebetween for each test.
