Publication number: 20260092936Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, devices and systems for associating consumable data with an assay consumable used in a biological assay. Provided are assay systems and associated consumables, wherein the assay system adjusts one or more steps of an assay protocol based on consumable data specific for that consumable. Various types of consumable data are described, as well as methods of using such data in the conduct of an assay by an assay system. The present invention also relates to consumables (e.g., kits and reagent containers), software, data deployable bundles, computer-readable media, loading carts, instruments, systems, and methods, for performing automated biological assays.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2025Publication date: April 2, 2026Inventors: Jacob N. WOHLSTADTER, Manish KOCHAR, Peter J. BOSCO, Ian D. CHAMBERLIN, Bandele JEFFREY-COKER, Eric M. JONES, Gary I. KRIVOY, Don E. KRUEGER, Aaron H.

Patent number: 12461036Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, method, reagents, and kits for conducting assays as well as process for their preparation are described. They are particularly well suited for conducting automated analysis in a multi-well plate assay format. Also disclosed are systems, devices, and methods provided herein for using a CCD camera based system to generate measurements having reduced crosstalk between measurements of multiple spatially separated subjects. CCD camera based systems as provided herein use improved reference level clamping circuits configured to fully reset reference levels during CCD readout, thereby reducing a level of crosstalk between measurements.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: MESO SCALE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC.Inventors: Gary I. Krivoy, Cecilia Zimmerman, Jules Vandersarl, Sandor Kovacs, Aaron Leimkuehler, Leo Tabakin, Jon Willoughby, Manish Kochar, Charles M. Clinton
