  • Automated microbial detection and quantification
    Patent number: 10934596
    Abstract: A method for automated microbial detection includes collecting air particles into a solid-state sampler, the air particles including microbes, charging the air particles using a plasma field generated by propulsion electrodes, focusing the charged air particles toward a sample well of a microfluidic testing cartridge, tagging the charged air particles with a fluorescence marker, and detecting a quantity of the microbes using a fluorescence detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: UChicago Argonne, LLC
    Inventors: Jack Gilbert, Charles Catlett, Peter Beckman
  • IMMUNE RESPONSE MODULATION USING LIVE BIOTHERAPEUTICS, FOR CONDITIONS SUCH AS ALLERGY DESENSITIZATION
    Publication number: 20200016256
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions (e.g., probiotic, pharmaceutical, etc.) comprising one or more strains of non-Clostridia class bacteria and methods of use thereof for allergen desensitization. In particular, bacteria of bacterial classes such as Negativicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidia support allergen desensitization, for example, by promoting production of metabolites that aid in desensitization or performing catabolism of food allergens.
