  • Systems and methods for optimizing an instrument system workflow
    Patent number: 11802883
    Abstract: A system and a method for dynamically optimizing an instrument system workflow based on operational monitoring and managing of a workflow for a hardware system. The system includes instrument resources and sample chambers, each resource and chamber with a dedicated sensor configured to acquire data. The system further includes a computing device communicatively connected to the instrument resources and sample chambers. The computing device includes a software application or program comprising a workflow builder, an execution engine, an analytics engine, a virtual system modeling engine, and an optional machine learning engine.
    Type: Grant

  • METHODS, SYSTEMS AND KITS FOR IN-PEN ASSAYS
    Publication number: 20220250071
    Abstract: Methods, systems and kits are described herein for detecting the results of an assay. In particular, the methods, systems and devices of the present disclosure rely on a difference between the diffusion rates of a reporter molecule and an analyte of interest in order to quantify an amount of analyte in a microfluidic device. The analyte may be a secreted product of a biological micro-object.
