  • Compact optical system for substantially simultaneous monitoring of samples in a sample array
    Patent number: 11442258
    Abstract: Optical systems and apparatuses configured for enabling substantially simultaneous observation of a plurality of points in an array from a common reference point. Without the optical systems and apparatuses disclosed herein, less than all of the plurality of points can be observed substantially simultaneously from the common reference point.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022
    Assignee: BioFire Defense, LLC
    Inventors: Richard David Abbott, Patrick L. Riley, Zackery Kent Evans, Lyle M. Nay
  • Thermal cycler apparatus and related methods
    Patent number: 11376599
    Abstract: An apparatus for thermal cycling can transfer heat uniformly and efficiently. The apparatus can be used in a method that reduces condensation on sample wells. The apparatus can also be manufactured to provide uniform configurations. For example, a sample illustratively for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in each sample well and the components of the embodiment of the thermal cycler apparatus shown at including a well block, a base plate, a layer of adhesive, a peltier device, another layer of adhesive and a heat sink.
