DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SPECTROSCOPY OF BIOMATERIALS AND LIVE CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042438 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SPECTROSCOPY OF BIOMATERIALS AND LIVE CELLS

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application relates to infrared spectroscopy and describes a device that includes a first assembly, a porous membrane, and a second assembly. The first assembly defines a fluid distributor, while the porous membrane overlies the fluid distributor and forms a surface of it. The second assembly is disposed on the first assembly and includes a plurality of capillary arrays surrounding a window that exposes the porous membrane. The capillaries of each array have openings on the edges of the window and are designed to direct moisture across the surface of the porous membrane.

  • The device includes a fluid distributor and a porous membrane that acts as a surface for the distributor.
  • A second assembly with capillary arrays is placed on top of the first assembly, surrounding a window that exposes the porous membrane.
  • The capillaries in each array have openings on the edges of the window and are responsible for directing moisture across the surface of the porous membrane.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Infrared spectroscopy: The device can be used in infrared spectroscopy applications to analyze the composition of materials.
  • Moisture detection: The capillary arrays and porous membrane can be utilized to detect and measure moisture levels in various substances.
  • Chemical analysis: The device can aid in chemical analysis by allowing for the study of molecular structures and interactions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved moisture detection: The capillary arrays and porous membrane provide an efficient way to direct moisture across the surface, enhancing the accuracy and sensitivity of moisture detection.
  • Enhanced infrared spectroscopy: The device's design improves the quality and reliability of infrared spectroscopy analysis by providing a stable and controlled environment for measurements.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Accurate and sensitive moisture detection: The device allows for precise measurement and detection of moisture levels in different materials.
  • Reliable chemical analysis: The improved design ensures accurate and consistent results in chemical analysis applications.
  • Versatile applications: The device can be used in various fields, including materials science, chemistry, and environmental monitoring.
