Patents by Inventor Sami Svanbäck

Sami Svanbäck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11422121
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for dissolving sample substances such as drug molecules. Also disclosed is use of the method for device for testing dissolution rates of the sample substances. It utilizes lyophilic matrices that create conditions for discriminating the dissolved sample substance from undissolved sample substances. This is aimed at preventing dispersion of the undissolved sample substance to avoid any substantial membrane effects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2022
    Assignee: NANOFORM FINLAND OYJ

  • Patent number: 10520411
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and system for determining dissolution properties of a particle. The method comprises providing into a vessel dissolution medium capable of dissolving the particle and providing the particle into said vessel in contact with the dissolution medium for dissolving the particle. According to the invention, the particle is trapped in a particle trapping zone formed at a predetermined location in the vessel, the particle trapping zone being formed preferably at least partially by continuous hydrodynamic motion of the dissolution medium. Residue of the particle is imaged while being trapped in said particle trapping zone for providing a plurality of sequential images of the particle residue. Finally, at least one dissolution property of the particle is determined based on the sequential images.
