Patent number: 11885803Abstract: In various embodiments devices and methods for the detection and/or quantification of clinically relevant pathogens (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) are provided. In certain embodiments the device comprises a lateral-flow assay that detects the bacterium at a concentration of less than about 6×106 cells/mL, less than about 3×106 cells/ml, less than about 1×106 CFU/mL, or less than about 50 ?g/mL. In certain embodiments the device comprises an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) comprising a mixed phase solution that separates into a first phase solution and a second phase solution; and a lateral-flow assay (LFA). In certain embodiments the device comprises a flow-through system comprising a concentration component comprising an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) comprising a mixed phase solution that separates into a first phase solution and a second phase solution; and a detection component disposed beneath said concentration component.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Daniel Takashi Kamei, Yin To Chiu, Benjamin Ming Wu, Garrett L.

Publication number: 20240003875Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods that use aqueous two phase systems and lateral flow assays to detect target analytes in a sample. These devices and methods may be used to diagnose a disease or condition in a biological sample, such as blood or serum. In addition, these devices and methods may be used to detect allergens in a food samples or contaminants, such as environmental toxins, in water samples. Device and kit components may be conveniently assembled in a portable container and are amenable to actuation in most settings. The devices are simple to use, requiring a non-trained operator to simply add the sample to the device. Conveniently, the time it takes to detect the target analyte is very short. Thus, the devices and methods disclosed herein provide novel and useful means for point-of-care.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Daniel Takashi Kamei, Yin To Chiu, Benjamin Ming Wu, Garrett L.

Publication number: 20200150116Abstract: In various embodiments single-step ATPS paper-based diagnostic assays are provided that exploit the concept of sequential resolubilization of ATPS components to give rise to the desired phase separation behavior within paper. In one illustrative embodiment, a wick is provided for concentrating an analyte within an aqueous two-phase extraction system in a paper, where the wick comprises a paper configured to receive a sample where the paper comprises a first region containing a first component of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) where the first component is in a dry form, and a second region containing a second component of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) where the second component is in a dry form; and where said first region and the second region are disposed so that when said wick is contacted with a fluid sample, the first component of said ATPS is hydrated before the second component. In certain embodiments the first and second component are disposed so they are hydrated substantially simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2018Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Daniel Takashi Kamei, Benjamin Ming Wu, Garrett L.
