Patent number: 11371972Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to substance detecting assemblies that include: (1) a sample medium (e.g., filter paper); and (2) a solid test chemical (e.g., zinc) impregnated with the sample medium. In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to methods of making an assembly for detecting a substance by: (1) providing a sample medium; (2) providing a solid test chemical; and (3) impregnating the sample medium with the solid test chemical. In further embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to methods for detecting a substance by: (1) collecting the substance on a sample medium that is impregnated with a solid test chemical; and (2) initiating a reaction of the substance with the solid test chemical on the sample medium to generate a color that corresponds to the substance. In some embodiments, the sample medium is then inserted into a chemical detection unit for the detection of the substance.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: DetectaChem, Inc.Inventor: Travis Kisner

Patent number: 9978153Abstract: An image of a test receptacle is received, which includes a color of a reaction between a test substance and at least one reagent in the test receptacle, an alignment code having test receptacle identification information, and at least one color calibration block. An array of pixels of RGB values for each pixel in the image is collected. A captured color of the color calibration block is evaluated. An offset is determined for the captured color in the one color calibration block if the evaluation of at the color calibration block in the image determines that the captured color deviates from a baseline color. The offset is applied to each pixel in the image to correct the captured image. A colorimetric analysis is performed on the reaction between the test substance and the at least one reagent.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: DETECTACHEM LLCInventors: Travis Kisner, Derek Roosken, Brendon Tower
