  • Fluid handling detectors
    Patent number: 11278219
    Abstract: Devices for collecting and analyzing a fluid sample comprise a fluid-collecting porous material comprising at least one hydrophilic porous layer and one or more sensors adapted to provide a response to the presence of an analyte. The detectors are useful for collecting and analyzing a very small volume of sample and may include features that facilitate and direct flow of the sample through porous material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022
    Assignee: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul D. Gassler, Austin J. Crouse, Sean R. Coyer

  • Methods for screening and arraying microrganisms such as viruses using subtractive contact printing background
    Patent number: 8680023
    Abstract: Methods for screening and arranging microorganisms such as viruses in an array using subtractive contact printing are provided. In one embodiment, a method for forming an array of receptors for microorganisms comprises: patterning an array of structures on a first substrate to form a template on a surface of the first substrate; applying a receptor material to a face of a second substrate; and contacting the face of the second substrate with the template to remove a portion of the receptor material from the second substrate, thereby forming an array of receptors on the second substrate.
