Patent number: 11029245Abstract: A flow cell device including a spherical optical element is disclosed. The spherical lens can be sealed to the body of the flow cell device in a manner that provides external optical access to a fluid in an analysis region of a flow path through the flow cell device. The seal can be provided by an elastomer, a polymer, or a deformable metal. The disposition of the spherical lens to the flow path enables in situ optical analysis of the fluid. An optical analysis device can be removably connected to the flow cell device to provide the optical analysis. In some embodiments the optical analysis device is a portable Raman spectrometer. The flow cell device can provide a supplementary interrogation interface, and/or an on board sensor device(s) to enable multivariate analysis and/or advanced triggering.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: MarqMetrix, Inc.Inventors: Giora Proskurowski, Brian James Marquardt

Patent number: 10634616Abstract: An optical immersion probe assembly with an alignment mechanism is described. The alignment mechanism ensures that proper alignment is achieved between an optical fiber head and an optical immersion probe whenever the optical immersion probe is coupled to the optical fiber head. The alignment mechanism may include a notch defined in a portion of a first annular end surface of the optical fiber head, and a projection on a periphery of the optical immersion probe. The projection on the probe may be positioned a distance from a second annular end surface of the optical immersion probe, and sized to be received within the notch of the optical fiber head. Also described herein are techniques and processes for manufacturing the components of an optical immersion probe assembly, and for assembling the optical immersion probe assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: MarqMetrix, Inc.Inventors: Brian James Marquardt, Giora Proskurowski, Alex McNeill

Patent number: 9958324Abstract: An enclosed benchtop Raman spectrometry device, systems, methods, and techniques related thereto are disclosed. A benchtop Raman spectrometer can comprise an enclosure enclosing a probe and sample. In an embodiment, a compliance component can determine concurrent satisfaction of a group of compliance rules. The compliance rules can relate to contact between the probe and sample, environmental conditions within the enclosure, illumination conditions within the enclosure, an operation state of a viewport allowing direct viewing of a sample-probe interface, etc. While concurrent satisfaction is determined, the release of optical energy for interrogation of the sample via the probe can be enabled. In an embodiment, the probe can comprise a spherical optical element, e.g., a BallProbeĀ®, which can be brought into contact with the sample to perform Raman spectroscopy.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: MarqMetrix Inc.Inventors: Brian James Marquardt, John Scott Van Vuren, Giora Proskurowski
