  • CARBON DOTS FOR DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS AND DRUG DELIVERY
    Publication number: 20230087420
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of forming carbon dots, including admixing carbon powder with sulfuric acid and nitric acid and heating the carbon powder mixture to reflux to oxidize the carbon powder. The method further includes isolating and purifying the carbon dots. The disclosure further provides applications of the carbon dots for diagnostic analysis (such as bone analysis), fibrillation inhibition, and drug delivery.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 22, 2022
    Publication date: March 23, 2023
    Inventors: Shanghao Li, Roger M. Leblanc, Isaac Skromne, Zhili Peng
  • Portable plasmonic system for disease detection
    Patent number: 11428690
    Abstract: A plasmonic photoconductor sensing platform is provided. The plasmonic photoconductor sensing platform includes an insulating substrate; a semiconducting film placed on top of the insulating substrate; two metal contacts placed at least in part on the semiconducting film to enforce an electric field; a plurality of plasmonic nanostructures deposited on the semiconducting film and physically separated from metal contacts; an insulating layer, the insulating electrically isolating the plasmonic nanostructures from semiconductor; at least one energy source; and at least one microfluidic channel disposed on the insulating layer.
    Type: Grant
