  • Food allergen detection device and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 11940403
    Abstract: A device for the detection of a food allergen includes a sensor having a printed circuit board and a chip comprising a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and a non-imprinted polymer (NIP); a reservoir comprising a liquid; and a chamber for mixing the liquid with a food.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024
    Assignee: Amulet, Inc.
    Inventors: Srikanth Rao Agnihotra, Madanodaya Sundhoro, Brent Amberger, Abigail Barnes, Joseph Belbruno, Seung Hyuk Noh, Jeanette Numbers, Elizabeth Soucy
  • ELECTROPOLYMERIZED ALLERGEN DETECTION DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210285939
    Abstract: An allergen detection device that includes a sensor comprising a circuit board, an electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer film (MIP) that includes receptor sites imprinted in a first surface of the polymer, the receptor sites configured to accept a trace molecule of an allergen, and an electropolymerized non-imprinted polymer film. The sensor is configured to detect the presence of the trace molecule upon binding to one or more of the receptor sites on the MIP.

  • Food allergen detection methods and systems using molecularly imprinted polymers
    Patent number: 10107819
    Abstract: Methods and devices for the detection of food allergens using molecularly imprinted polymers that are imprinted for a target food allergen. A molecularly imprinted polymer may be imprinted using surface imprinting or other procedures. Detection of food allergens, such as peanut allergens, may be accomplished using all or a portion of a protein food allergen as a template to produce a molecularly imprinted polymer for food allergen detection. A portion utilized can be one that creates receptor sites in the molecularly imprinted polymer that are unique or more unique to the target food allergen than receptor sites that would be created if an entire food allergen molecule were utilized.
