Publication number: 20230074766Abstract: Disclosed herein is a more sensitive and accurate method of monitoring the pH of a solution, wherein the pH of the solution is quantified as a function of the electrochemical response of the solution in a two or three-electrode electrochemical cell, wherein the solution comprises a compound capable of undergoing a change in its oxidation state and/or structural conformation as a function of the pH of the solution. Also disclosed are highly accelerated methods and processes enabling analysis of specific polynucleotide sequences in a sample, e.g. a biological sample. The methods disclosed herein are, for example, useful for rapid screening of a large amount of samples in a point-of-care setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Kushagr Punyani, Per Andreas Nyberg, Sindre Sopstad, Martin Peacock, Linhongjia Xiong, Jae Yen Shin

Publication number: 20220339622Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to flow cartridges configured to measure and/or detect analytes in urine. A representative flow cartridge includes a urine inlet configured to receive urine from a patient, a flow channel fluidly coupled to the urine inlet, and sensors fluidly coupled to the flow channel that are configured to measure parameters of the urine flow. The sensors are aligned with corresponding sensing zones of the flow channel and are operable to generate sensor data based on urine flow through the sensing zones. In some embodiment, the sensor data is used to provide fluid therapy to the patient by adjusting an amount or rate of diuretic and/or hydration fluid based on the sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Eric Conley, Jim Dillon, Howard Robert Levin, Zoar Engelman, Martin Peacock, Megha Shah, Andrew Victor Halpert
