BNF patent granted...
The Company is pleased to announce the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Patent 9,068,216 on 30 June 2015 for:
Methods and devices for rapid detection and identification of live microorganisms by aptamers and/or antibodies immobilized on permeable membranes
Abstract
The invention provides methods, devices and kits for rapid detection and identification of one or more live target microorganisms in a liquid sample or grown on plates containing nutrient media. The invention includes mixing one or more target microorganisms with one or more aptamers and/or one or more antibodies, each conjugated to a reporter compound and specific for a first site on or more target microorganisms to form a mixture. The mixture is placed on a permeable membrane having immobilized thereon one or more aptamers linked to an amine compound, and/or one or more antibodies, each specific for a second site on one or more target microorganisms or a site on the aptamer conjugate and/or antibody conjugate. A detection solution is added to the membrane and detection and identification of one or more target microorganisms is achieved in about one hour or less.
In other news, NanoLogix also takes this opportunity to thank Professor Daniel Barnhizer for over six years of service on the Board of Directors. In light of
current health issues and obligations at his law school regarding work for outside firms, Professor Barnhizer has resigned from the Board of Directors effective 1 July 2015.
Professor Barnhizer will continue to assist the company on an as-needed basis.
