US Patent:

20120329050, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:

Dec 21, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/518211
Inventors:

James G. Nadeau - Ellicott City MD, US
Bernard J.H. Verwer - Phoenix MD, US
Assignee:

BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY - Franklin Lakes NJ
International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
G01N 21/76
C12M 1/34
G01N 21/64
US Classification:

435 611, 4352872
Abstract:

Presented herein are methods for the detection of the presence or absence of one or more microorganisms in a sample. The method deploys a plurality of probe sets to detect a plurality of microorganisms. The probes in the probe set are detectably labeled. At least one probe set has probes labeled with a combination of detectable labels. The number of detectable labels used in the plurality of probe sets numbers less than the number of microorganisms being detected by the probe set.

Filed:

May 24, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/422630
Inventors:

- Franklin Lakes NJ, US
Eric D. Diebold - Menlo Park CA, US
Bob Cao - San Jose CA, US
Bernard Johanna Verwer - Los Gatos CA, US
International Classification:

G01N 15/14
Abstract:

Systems for differentially detecting light (e.g., in a flow stream) are described. Light detection systems according to certain embodiments include a plurality of photodetectors, an amplifier component and an electronic switch component having a plurality of switches in electrical communication with the plurality of photodetectors and the amplifier component. Systems and methods for differentially detecting light and optimizing the measurement of light emitted by a sample (e.g., in a flow stream) are also described. Kits having a photodetector array, an amplifier component and an electronic switch component are also provided.
