Patent number: 11846580Abstract: A flow cell package includes first and second surface-modified patterned wafers and a spacer layer. The first surface-modified patterned wafer includes first depressions separated by first interstitial regions, a first functionalized molecule bound to a first silane or silane derivative in at least some of the first depressions, and a first primer grafted to the first functionalized molecule in the at least some of the first depressions. The second surface-modified patterned wafer includes second depressions separated by second interstitial regions, a second functionalized molecule bound to a second silane or silane derivative in at least some of the second depressions, and a second primer grafted to the second functionalized molecule in the at least some of the second depressions. The spacer layer bonds at least some first interstitial regions to at least some second interstitial regions, and at least partially defines respective fluidic chambers of the flow cell package.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignees: Illumina, Inc., Illumina Cambridge LimitedInventors: James Tsay, Anmiv Prabhu, David Heiner, Edwin Li, Alexandre Richez, John M. Beierle, Kevan Samiee, Kristina Munoz, Leonid Malevanchik, Ludovic Vincent, Naiqian Zhan, Peyton Shieh, Robert Yang, Samantha Schmitt, Sang Park, Scott Bailey, Sean M.

Publication number: 20220395565Abstract: The present disclosure relates to Salmonella Gallinarum mutant strains and uses thereof. A vaccine composition according to an aspect has no risk of reverting to pathogenicity, has no residual pathogenicity due to detoxification of an endotoxin, and does not cause lesions and bacterial re-isolation, thereby exhibiting significantly improved safety compared to the existing fowl typhoid vaccines. In addition, since the vaccine composition induces a high-level immune response even when administered to young chicks, it may be used regardless of age, and as the vaccine strain may be used as a live vaccine having an excellent protective capability by itself, the vaccine composition may be useful for preventing and alleviating fowl typhoid.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Hyuk-Joon KWON, Nam-Hyung KIM, Dae-Sung KO, Eun-Jin HA, Sunmin AHN

Patent number: 10151680Abstract: Systems and methods for high-throughput processing of assay plates include a calibration nanoparticle to facilitate automated focusing of the imaging system. An assay plate includes a base layer, a transparent layer in contact with the base layer, and at least one calibration nanoparticle having a pre-defined size immobilized on the assay plate surface. The assay plate surface can be functionalized to selectively bind to biological targets. The assay plate can be used in an imaging system for high-throughput autofocus and biological target detection.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITYInventors: Selim M. Unlu, George Daaboul, Margo R. Monroe, Carlos Lopez, Ahmet Tuysuzoglu, Sunmin Ahn
