  • System and method of bacterial cell purification
    Patent number: 11326143
    Abstract: A method for preparing and processing a sample is provided. The method includes obtaining a sample including biofluid. The method further includes purifying at least part of the sample via an acoustic separator to separate target cells from the sample. The sample may accordingly be at least partially purified. The method further includes causing a portion of an output collected from the acoustic separator to flow through a filter. At least one reagent, such as a lysis reagent or assay reagent, is caused to flow over the cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2022
    Assignee: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.
    Inventors: Parker Dow, Nicolas Mesyngier, Ken Kotz, Georgiana Kourepenos, Jason O. Fiering, Jason W. Holder
  • Recombinant B11 bacteriophages and uses thereof
    Patent number: 10900025
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions including recombinant B11 bacteriophages, methods for making the same, and uses thereof. The recombinant B11 bacteriophages disclosed herein are useful for the identification and/or antibiotic susceptibility profiling of specific bacterial strains/species present in a sample.
