  • Electrochemical metabolic activity detecting device
    Patent number: 10888864
    Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting metabolic activity of target cells in a sample. The target cells are concentrated in a nanoliter well having a microfilter. A reporter compound that exhibits a change in electrochemical state in response to metabolic activity of the target cells is introduced. Metabolic activity or viability of the target cells is detected based on a determined change in the electrochemical state of contents in the well.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2021
    Assignee: The Governing Council of the University of Toronto
    Inventors: Shana Olwyn Kelley, Edward Hartley Sargent, Justin David Besant
