  • Sample preparation and detection device for infectious agents
    Patent number: 6576459
    Abstract: A sample preparation and analysis device which incorporates both immunoassays and PCR assays in one compact, field-portable microchip. The device provides new capabilities in fluid and particle control which allows the building of a fluidic chip with no moving parts, thus decreasing fabrication cost and increasing the robustness of the device. The device can operate in a true continuous (not batch) mode. The device incorporates magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pumps to move the fluid through the system, acoustic mixing and fractionation, dielectropheretic (DEP) sample concentration and purification, and on-chip optical detection capabilities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2003
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Robin R. Miles, Amy W. Wang, Christopher K. Fuller, Asuncion V. Lemoff, Kerry A. Bettencourt, June Yu
