US Patent:

6473171, Oct 29, 2002

Filed:

Dec 8, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/456538

Inventors:

Daniel A. Buttry - Laramie WY
Guoying Chen - Laramie WY

Assignee:

Coors Brewing Company - Golden CO

International Classification:

G01N 2105

US Classification:

356246, 356 73

Abstract:

A biocompatible flow cytometry system such that low levels of bacteria or other particles in a sample will not adsorb onto the systems surfaces. The biocompatible flow cytometry system comprises an upper chamber assembly. The upper chamber comprises a biocompatible input system, a means for retaining and adjusting the biocompatible system, a sheath fluid input port, and a means of interfacing with a glass tube. The interface between the biocompatible system and a glass tube allows for the low level contaminants to be irradiated with a laser source selected to interact with marked bacteria and cause them to fluoresce at a wavelength that can be detected.

Filed:

Jun 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/869102

Inventors:

John Pope - Laramie WY 82070
Daniel Buttry - Laramie WY 82070

International Classification:

G01N 2700

US Classification:

324 711, 324425, 205 81, 205 83

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus employ the use of arrays of two or more electronically discrete electrodes to facilitate high-throughput preparation and testing of materials with two or more elements. High rates of deposition, synthesis and/or analysis of materials are achieved with the use of arrays of electrodes whereby desired materials are developed. The high rate synthesis and/or analysis of an array of materials uses deposition control techniques in conjunction with the electrode array to develop a meaningful array of materials and to analyze the materials for desired characteristics to develop one or more materials with desired characteristics. The use of an array of electrodes enables high throughput development of materials having scientific and economic advantages.

US Classification:

435 4, 435 5, 435 6, 435 71, 435 72, 435 405, 435962

Abstract:

This invention relates to methods for reducing background fluorescence in cell detection and measurement systems. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, cell-impermeant chemical agents are used to modify the fluorescent probes that reside outside the cells to be detected. The chemical agents can chemically modify one or more functional groups in the probes, thereby reducing or eliminating the fluorescence of the probes. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, Acid Black 48 is used to reduce background fluorescence produced by fluorescent probes such as SYTO 62.

International Classification:

G01N 33/53

US Classification:

International Classification:

G01N 33/53

US Classification:

435 72

Abstract:

The present invention relates to moving microorganisms to a surface, where they are grown in the presence and absence of antimicrobials, and by monitoring the growth of the microorganisms over time in the two conditions, their susceptibility to the antimicrobials can be determined. The microorganisms can be moved to the surface through electrophoresis, centrifugation or filtration. When the movement involves electrophoresis, the presence of oxidizing and reducing reagents lowers the voltage at which electrophoretic force can be generated and allows a broader range of means by which the target can be detected. Monitoring can comprise optical detection, and most conveniently includes the detection of individual microorganisms. The microorganisms can be stained in order to give information about their response to antimicrobials.
