Filed:

Jul 2, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/884121

Inventors:

Richard Chen - La Jolla CA, US
Michelle Chen - La Jolla CA, US

International Classification:

E04H 3/04

US Classification:

186039000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a food transport system comprising a conveyor including a controller that controls the movement of plates of food around the conveyor and determines the circulation time of each plate of food, a food heater and food cooler. The controller automatically diverts individual plates of food to the food heater if they require reheating and automatically diverts individual plates of food to the food cooler if they require cooling.

Abstract:

Electroadsorption and charged based biomolecule separation, concentration and detection with porous biosensors. In preferred embodiments, a potential is applied to a porous electrode to separate and concentrate molecules from solution. The bimolecular analytes are captured by the porous electrode itself, the same electrode that is used to generate the electric field for electroadsorption. In additional preferred embodiments, pH of the solution is adjusted to separate and concentrate biomolecules. Setting the pH equal to the protein isoelectric point was determined by the inventors to maximize concentration of biomolecules into the porous biosensor. The methods include simultaneously optically detecting charged molecules captured by the porous electrode. Methods of the invention are benign to biomolecules of interest, which are demonstrated to retain a high percentage of their activity after being released from the biosensor. Methods of the invention provide label-free detection. Advantageously, small voltages and ultrasmall volumes of solution are used in methods of the invention.
