US Patent:
8246802, Aug 21, 2012
Filed:
May 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/120620
Inventors:
Igor Mezic - Goleta CA, US
Frederic Bottausci - Santa Barbara CA, US
Jason S. Spievak - Santa Barbara CA, US
Peter J. Strand - Santa Barbara CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
B01D 57/02
US Classification:
204450, 204600
Abstract:
An apparatus, a method and a process to achieve manipulation of particles and/or solutions through the use of electrokinetic properties are disclosed. The manipulation is performed using a disposable device positioned on top of a stage for purposes of powering the electrodes. The fluidic solution is brought into contact with the active part of the device and then manipulated.

US Patent:
20090038938, Feb 12, 2009
Filed:
May 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/118343
Inventors:
Igor Mezic - Goleta CA, US
Frederic Bottausci - Santa Barbara CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of The University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G01N 27/26
B01J 19/08
US Classification:
204400, 204242, 2042751, 204277, 204601
Abstract:
A software-driven device named the Microfluidic Central Processing Unit (μfCPU). The device is a chamber encompassing a contiguous physical volume equipped with actuators (electrodes, pressure membranes or other) capable of inducing physical forces on liquids, gases and particles contained in it, for the purpose of performing at least the 5 basic microfluidics operations: mixing, concentration, separation, transport and reaction within one integrated chamber. The device can have one volume where all of the operations are performed or can be spatially divided into several “processing areas” between which there are transport routes enabled by the software-regulated actuation. A device that contains more than one μfCPU employed in parallel or in series or both. A device that is composed of one or more than one μfCPU's and where fluids and particles are transported using a central pump together with integrated micropumps.

Electromotive Liquid Handling Method And Apparatus

US Patent:
20100018861, Jan 28, 2010
Filed:
Mar 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/056113
Inventors:
Igor Mezic - Goleta CA, US
Frederic Bottausci - Santa Barbara CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C07K 1/26
G01N 27/26
US Classification:
204450, 204600, 204643
Abstract:
An apparatus and method to achieve manipulation of particles and/or solutions through the induction of electromagnetic fields inside liquid contained inside vessels are disclosed. A “vessel” denotes specifically either a microtitter plate (microplate or well-plate, 1536, 3456 or any other format) well or hybridization solution placed on microarrays for hybridization experiment purposes or more generally any volume containing liquid solution. The manipulation is performed by bringing the active part of the device into contact with the fluidic solution, wherein electromagnetic fields and/or induced fluid flow are used to perform specific manipulations including transport, separation, concentration, mixing, reaction and electroporation. The invention can be used to enhance processing in a number of standard assays and protocols, including the Polymerase Chain Reaction, kinase-based assays, ELISA assays and electroporation.
