  • Semi-quantitative lateral-flow immunoassay for the detection of CSF leaks
    Patent number: 11867693
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for the detection of CSF in a biological sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Daniel Takashi Kamei, Maie A. St. John, Zachary D. Taylor, Daniel William Bradbury, Ashley Elizabeth Kita
  • Multi-frequency harmonic acoustography for target identification and border detection
    Patent number: 11857373
    Abstract: A vibro-acoustography imaging system that generates a map of the mechanical response of a target to an acoustic radiation force, usually in low kHz range by a confocal geometry. The system generates two focused sinusoidal beams to produce a stress field at the beat frequency, which is a function of vibration and acoustic emissions field in terms of mechanical properties. A highly sensitive hydrophone is then used for detection of the acoustic emissions field, the amplitude of which may be correlated to the mechanical properties of the target tissue.

  • Semi-quantitative lateral-flow immunoassay for the detection of CSF leaks
    Patent number: 11209427
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for the detection of CSF in a biological sample. In certain embodiments the device is a lateral flow device comprising: a porous substrate; a sample addition zone disposed on or in said porous substrate; a detection zone disposed on or in said porous substrate where said detection zone comprises at least a first test line (T1) and a second test line (T2) each test line comprising binding moieties that bind a complex formed between beta-trace protein (betaTP) and an indicator attached to a betaTP binding molecule; wherein said porous substrate defines a flow path through which a sample applied to the sample addition zone flows under capillary action away from said sample addition zone into said detection zone.
