  • Self-contained microelectrochemical bioassay platforms and methods
    Patent number: 7645615
    Abstract: Methods and devices for improved chemical and biological detection assays combined well defined microstructures having independently addressable electrodes with various surface immobilization electrochemical assays. Combining known chemical detection immobilization assays, electrochemically active moieties with microstructures having independently addressable electrodes provides for vastly improved methods of detecting microorganisms, chemical compounds, and measuring membrane transport.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 24, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2010
    Assignee: Board of Trustees of The University of Arkansas, N.A.
    Inventors: Ingrid Fritsch, Robert Beitle, Jr., Zoraida Aguilar
  • Electrochemical method for detecting water born pathogens
    Patent number: 7456028
    Abstract: A novel, surface immobilization electrochemical assay allows for rapid, accurate and highly sensitive detection of microorganisms and biological molecules. Known surface immobilization methods are utilized to bind an analyte to a surface. A binding material with a covalently attached electroactive complex generates electrical current in the presence of analyte. An electrode is used to detect the current, that is directly related to the concentration of analyte. The invention is especially suitable for detection of Cryptospiridium parvum.
