  • Microorganism detection and analysis using carbohydrate and lectin recognition
    Patent number: 9366672
    Abstract: Methods of binding and detecting a microorganism on a solid substrate. The microorganism is bound on a solid substrate covalently bound to a capture agent having a saccharide moiety. A lectin capable of binding to the microorganism and the saccharide moiety of the capture agent is added to the sample to bind the microorganism on the solid substrate. Further provided are biosensor devices, such as a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) device or a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) device, that incorporate the solid substrate for the detection of microorganisms.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: Oakland University
    Inventors: Xiangqun Zeng, Zhihong Shen
