| 20100209927 | PROCESSING DEVICE TABLET - A microfluidic processing device includes a tablet comprising a reagent, where the tablet is configured to fit within at least one chamber of the processing device. In addition, in some embodiments, at least two tablets are disposed within a single process chamber of the processing device. Further, in some embodiments, each tablet may comprise one or more different types of reagents. In some embodiments, the tablet is a microtablet including a greatest dimension of less than about five millimeters. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100317021 | FLUIDIC ANTIBODY-CONTAINING DEVICES AND METHODS - The invention relates to devices and methods for analyzing a sample (and preferably preparing a sample), which is particularly used in analysis, such as analysis of a sample for a bacterium of interest. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110065319 | STRETCHABLE CONDUCTIVE CONNECTOR - A stretchable conductive connector. The conductive connector can include a viscoelastic support member having a variable length, and a conductor coupled to the support member. The conductor can include at least one bend to accommodate the variable length of the viscoelastic support member. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110077497 | BIOMEDICAL SENSOR SYSTEM - A biomedical sensor system. The system can include a sensor adapted to create a signal based on a physiological characteristic from a subject, and a hub adapted to receive the signal from the sensor. The signal can include at least one of an electromagnetic signal, an electrical signal, an acoustic signal, a mechanical signal, a thermal signal, and a chemical signal. The system can further include a connector adapted to couple the sensor and the hub, the connector having a variable length, such that the sensor and the hub can be positioned a variable distance apart by changing the length of the connector. The connector can be adapted to provide a pathway between the sensor and the hub for the signal. A method of applying a biomedical sensor system to a subject can include changing the length of the variable-length connector to provide an appropriate distance between the sensor and the hub, and coupling the sensor to the subject. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110097814 | DETECTION DEVICES AND METHODS - The application discloses embodiments of detection devices including a sensor component in a flow path between a first flow path portion and a second flow path portion. In embodiments described, the sensor component includes a receptor in a polymerized composition. The receptor is configured to bind with an analyte in a test sample. Upon binding the sensor component undergoes a detectable change in response to interaction of the analyte with the receptor. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110300635 | CHEMICAL INDICATOR TEST STRIP - Articles and methods for the detection and/or quantification of organic analytes are described. The invention provides a chemical indicator test strip, comprising: a substrate; and a coating comprising a leuco dye complex on the substrate, the coating being insoluble in water and reactive with an organic analyte, the coating derived from a solution of leuco dye and developing agent. In another aspect, the coating further comprises adjuvant, in the form of a water-insoluble, polar, hydrophobic, aprotic material that extends the lower limit of detection for the analyte. In still another aspect, the present invention provides a method of using a chemical indicator test strip, comprising: (a) exposing the chemical indicator test strip to a sample comprising an organic analyte; (b) measuring a color change on the chemical indicator test strip following the exposing step; and (c) correlating the color change with the concentration of the analyte in the sample. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20120129266 | METHOD OF DETECTING OXIDES OF NITROGEN - The present disclosure provides methods and kits to detect and quantitate NOx compounds in a biological sample. The methods include reacting a mixture comprising a nitrite compound a chromogenic reagent to form a colored compound, contacting the mixture with a retention medium configured to retain the colored compound, and detecting the colored compound retained on the retention medium. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120135444 | SAMPLING DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE - The present disclosure provides devices and rapid methods to acquire a wound sample to detect the presence of NO | 05-31-2012 |
