Patent for Fast Accurate Viral Testing at the Point of Care
BioE Teaching Professor Timothy Lannin and Professor Jeffrey Ruberti were awarded a patent for creating a “Point of care viral detection system using turbo fluorescence in situ hybridization.”
Abstract Source: USPTO
Devices and methods for automated liquid handling and reagent processing to provide labelling and detection of bacteria and viruses are provided. Labelling reactions are performed rapidly and with essentially no generation of hazardous waste or use of consumables. Highly sensitive detection is performed by measuring fluorescence on a rotating sample plate.
