Patent number: 11976316Abstract: Phenotyping of cells involves loading a biological sample into a microfluidic device (1, 100) comprising cell compartments (20, 120) to capture biological material, including target cells, in the sample in the cell compartments (20, 120). A subset (20A) of the cell compartments (20, 120) is identified as comprising target cells exhibiting target phenotype characteristic(s) as determined based on monitoring biological material in the cell compartments (20, 120) prior to addition of a test agent. The biological material is exposed to a test agent and a phenotypic response of the target cells to the test agent is determined based on monitoring target cells in the identified subset (20A) of the cell compartments (20, 120). The phenotyping of the target cells is thereby not overshadowed by the response of other cells and non-cell material present in the biological sample.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: ASTREGO DIAGNOSTICS ABInventors: Johan Elf, Michael Read, Özden Baltekin, Martin Lovmar, Petter Hammar, Elias Amselem, Mikael Olsson, Ove Öhman

Patent number: 11958049Abstract: A sample loading cartridge (1) for a microfluidic device comprises a cartridge body (10) with a sample reservoir (20) configured to house a volume of a liquid sample (3) and a sample port (30) in connection with the sample reservoir (20). The cartridge (1) also comprises an output channel (40) extending from the sample reservoir (20) and a feedback channel (50) connected to the sample reservoir (20) and to the sample port (30). The cartridge body (10) comprises a detection portion (60) aligned with the feedback channel (50) to enable detection of any sample (3) in the feedback channel (50). The flow resistance of the feedback channel (50) is lower than the flow resistance of the output channel (40) to cause liquid sample (3) received in the sample port (30) to enter the feedback channel (50) with substantially no liquid sample (3) entering the output channel (40).Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ASTREGO DIAGNOSTICS ABInventors: Johan Öhman, Martin Lovmar, Lovisa Söderberg, Mikael Olsson

Publication number: 20210008554Abstract: A capturing of target cells from a biological sample is achieved by inducing a flow of the biological sample in a flow channel (30, 60) of an upstream microfluidic device (1). Target cells present in the biological sample are captured in cell channels (20) of the upstream microfluidic device(1). Once at least a minimum number of target cells are captured in the cell channels (20), the flow of the biological sample in the flow channel is reduced and are verse flow is applied at the upstream microfluidic device (1) to release the target cells captured in the cell channels (20) of the upstream microfluidic device (1) and enable transfer the target cells into cell channels (120) of a downstream microfluidic device (100).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: Özden BALTEKIN, Ove ÖHMAN, Martin LOVMAR, Johan ELF, Mikael OLSSON

Publication number: 20150107752Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for joining materials as well as articles manufactured using such processes. The invention pertains to a process for joining a first substrate to a second substrate. The process includes irradiating a portion of a first substrate with a laser beam having a first wavelength and intensity sufficient to increase the absorbance of the first substrate to light having a second, different wavelength. The laser beam may carbonize at least a portion of the irradiated portion of the first substrate imparting a higher absorbance to light than non-irradiated portions of the first substrate. A second substrate is then placed in contact with the irradiated portion of the first substrate. The first substrate is then irradiated with a second laser having a second wavelength, different to the first wavelength; with a sufficient intensity to heat and, preferably melt, the irradiated portion of the first substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Erik Mikael Olsson, Jonathan Riveron, Armando Raul Tovar
