  • Rapid and label-free procedure for microbial community screening and profiling
    Patent number: 9927352
    Abstract: Methods are described herein and termed Microbial Community Screening and Profiling (MCSP) for multi-dimensional analysis and non-destructive and label-free detection and analysis, which allow for complementary analytical techniques to be performed on the same sample for such multidimensional analysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California

  • MULTIPLEX CHEMOTYPING MICROARRAY (MCM) SYSTEM AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20160129415
    Abstract: A Multiplex Chemotyping Microarray (MCM) system and methods are herein described. The MCM system and methods enable rapid chemical analyses of heterogeneous mixtures, by combining high-throughput micro-contact printing technology with high-fidelity (mass) vibrational spectroscopy. The MCM enables an error-free deposition and detection of multiple chemicals in a heterogeneous liquid sample at a throughput of more than two orders of magnitude beyond existing methods.
