  • IDENTIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS USING MALDI-TOF-MS ON-PLATE EXTRACTION
    Publication number: 20200149085
    Abstract: Rapid methods that identify sepsis-causing bacteria or yeast aid the physician in critical therapeutic decision-making, thus decreasing patient mortality rates. The methods described herein employ plating microorganisms directly on to a MALDI-MS plate, adding concentrated formic acid, and identifying the microorganism by mass spectrometry. Optionally, an organic solvent may be combined with the formic acid, or added to the sample before or after the concentrated formic acid is added thereto. The methods enable direct extraction of proteins from microorganisms without the need for liquid protein extraction methods and yields positive identification results for gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast in minutes.

  • SMART WATER BOTTLE WITH ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION STERILIZATION
    Publication number: 20200029714
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to smart, portable, reusable liquid containers, or container assemblies, with ultraviolet (UV) sterilization capability. An example container assembly includes a container defining a cavity to hold liquid. A cap coupled to the container prevents the liquid from spilling out of the cavity. A liquid level sensor and a processor track the amount of fluid within the container. When they detect liquid added to the container, they trigger one or more UV light sources for sterilizing the liquid. A cap sensor in or on the container assembly senses if the cap is on the container and prevents UV light source operation when the cap is off. The processor may communicate with a remote device, e.g., a smart phone or server, via an antenna. Indicators in or on the container assembly notify a user that UV sterilization is recommended, UV sterilization is in progress, etc.
