  • Diagnostic devices and methods
    Patent number: 9778245
    Abstract: A diagnostic device is provided that comprises a light source for transmitting a light beam through a blood sample to a light detector, and a permanent magnet, wherein one of the permanent magnet and blood sample is automatically movable relative to the other between a “HIGH” magnetic state position and a “LOW” magnetic state position, such that a substantially high magnetic field is applied to the blood sample causing any hemozoin in the blood sample to tend toward perpendicular orientation to the substantially magnetic field and the suppression, or enhancement of light based on its polarization, and a zero-to-near-zero magnetic field is applied to the blood sample causing the randomization of any hemozoin in the blood sample and a baseline amount of light to pass through the blood sample in the “LOW” magnetic state position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2017
    Assignee: Case Western Reserve University
    Inventors: Brian T. Grimberg, Robert Deissler, William Condit, Robert Brown, Jason Jones, Richard Bihary
