Patent number: 11959101Abstract: A cell activation reactor and a cell activation method are provided. The cell activation reactor includes a body, a rotating part, an upper cover, a microporous film, and multiple baffles. The body has an accommodating space, which is suitable for accommodating multiple cells and multiple magnetic beads. The rotating part is disposed in the accommodating space and includes multiple impellers. The microporous film is disposed in the accommodating space and covers multiple holes of the accommodating space. The baffles are disposed in the body. When the rotating part is driven to rotate, the interaction between the baffles and the impellers separates the cells and the magnetic beads.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Ting-Hsuan Chen, Kuo-Hsing Wen, Ya-Hui Chiu, Nien-Tzu Chou, Ching-Fang Lu, Cheng-Tai Chen, Ting-Shuo Chen, Pei-Shin Jiang

Patent number: 10183295Abstract: A convective polymerase chain reaction apparatus includes a tube, a temperature control unit, at least one light source and a sensor. The tube includes a cavity used to contain a reaction solution. The reaction solution has a liquid level measured from a bottom of the cavity to a top surface of the reaction solution. The temperature control unit is disposed adjacent to the tube for controlling the temperature of the reaction solution. The at least one light source provides a light beam passing through an incident portion of the tube to excite the reaction solution emitting a fluorescent light. The incident portion is located at a height greater than ½ of a liquid level. The sensor is adjacent to the tube for detecting the excited fluorescence. The light beam has an incident direction forming a non-straight angle with a long axis of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Tseng-Huang Liu, Kuo-Hsing Wen, Pei-Shin Jiang, Jie-Len Huang, Ting-Hsuan Chen
