| 20100203521 | METHOD FOR BACTERIAL LYSIS - The present invention is directed to a microfluidic device for lysis of cells, such as bacteria and microorganisms. In particular, the present invention relates to microfluidic devices and methods of manufacture of such microfluidic devices comprising a substrate with at least one channel packed with a polymer monolith embedded with carbon particles, for example carbon nanotubes. The microfluidic devices and methods of the present invention are useful for cell lysis of cells within a biological sample, such as a untreated biological sample comprising microorganisms, such as but not limited to gram positive and gram negative bacteria. In some embodiments, the microfluidic devices of the present invention can also optionally comprise other modules enabling further processing of the biological sample, for example isolation, purification and detection of biomolecules released from the lysed cells, such as but not limited to nucleic acids or proteins or peptides from the lysed cells, providing a complete Lab-on-a-Chip analysis system for biomolecules released from difficult to lyse microorganisms in a single step or process. The microfluidic devices of the present invention can also be adapted and are useful to methods to enrich for microorganisms in a biological sample, for example enrich for a desired type of bacteria within a biological sample. The microfluidic devices and methods of the present invention can be adapted to perform highly efficient lysis of microorganisms within a biological sample for diagnostic tests, for example for diagnosis of infectious agents and pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses or parasites. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20090220415 | DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FOR THE DETECTION OF SKIN CANCER - Methods and compositions are provided for the analysis of skin surfaces to determine the presence of neoplastic tissue. In the methods of the invention, a composition comprising a florescent probe that binds to a specific neoplasia associated marker is applied topically to the area of interest. After topical administration, the probe preferentially binds to markers associated in neoplastic lesions in situ, which binding is detected with a compact illumination unit that provides illumination at a wavelength appropriate for image acquisition. The illumination unit comprises a light source and fiber optic bundle to direct the light towards the area of examination. A detection unit is used to capture and record an image of the area of investigation. The detection unit may be a digital camera, film camera, etc. A mapping module may also be provided to catalogue the site of examination. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20110311970 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INTRACELLULAR ANALYTE ANALYSIS - Compositions and methods for multiplex immunodetection of analytes in single cells or cell populations are described. The invention utilizes analytical nanotags (ANTs) each specific for a different target analyte (TA) species. Analytical nanotags typically comprise biocompatible composite organic-inorganic nanoparticles (bCOINs) that include probe molecules specific for a particular TA species. A plurality of ANTs each specific for a different TA species can be used in a single multiplex assay, including assays for analyzing intracellular analytes in living cells. | 12-22-2011 |
