Patent number: 11854196Abstract: A real time assay monitoring system and method can be used to monitor reagent volume in assays for fluid replenishment control, monitor assays in real-time to obtain quality control information, monitor assays in real-time during development to detect saturation levels that can be used to shorten assay time, and provide assay results before the assay is complete, enabling reflex testing to begin automatically. The monitoring system can include a real time imaging system with a camera and lights to capture images of the assay. The captured images can then be used to monitor and control the quality of the staining process in an assay, provide early assay results, and/or to measure the on-site reagent volume within the assay.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Yu-Heng Cheng, Setareh Duquette, Lisa A.

Patent number: 11016006Abstract: A real-time imaging method and system for monitoring an assay process performed on a biological sample is described. In some embodiments, the method and system can be used to measure and control a reagent volume confined to a space between a cover and a substrate, which is particularly useful for controlling for evaporation in a thin-film staining environment. In particular embodiments, the disclosed reagent volume sensing and replenishment method and system are resistant to system noises generated during operation, for example, system noise due to vibration, field of view blockage by dispenser systems, differences in reagent colors, and changing tissue colors.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Yu-Heng Cheng, Lisa A.

Publication number: 20210062135Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for studying protein folding in the native cellular environment is provided. The invention, termed pcIC-FPOP, combines pulse-chase experiments with in-cell protein footprinting coupled to mass spectrometry. This enables very high resolution information on the folding or mis-folding of proteins. The system (100) includes a multi-well plate (110), an incubator (120), a stage (130), a subsystem of reservoirs (172) and pumps (174), a laser source (140) and beam steering optics (150), and a computer system (160) programmed with a control module (162) to control the operation of the laser (140), optics (150), incubator (120), stage (130), or pumps (174), or some combination. This method permits studies that fill gaps in knowledge on protein folding and its role in disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Lisa Jones, Anne Gesrhenson
