Method and device for preparing data for identifying analytes - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519266 titled 'Method and device for preparing data for identifying analytes

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for preparing data for identifying analytes by coloring them with markers in multiple coloring rounds and detecting the markers using a camera.

  • The method involves coloring analytes with markers specific to each set of analytes.
  • The camera captures images with colored signals (pixels containing marker color information) and uncolored signals (pixels without marker color information).
  • Data points consist of contiguous pixels in the images from multiple coloring rounds assigned to the same location in a sample.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Medical diagnostics
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Food safety testing

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following issues:

  • Efficient identification of multiple analytes in a sample
  • Minimizing errors in analyte detection

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Increased accuracy in analyte identification
  • Streamlined data preparation process
  • Enhanced efficiency in detecting multiple analytes simultaneously

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications for this technology include:

  • Biotechnology companies
  • Pharmaceutical companies
  • Research laboratories

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of fluorescent markers in analyte detection assays.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for preparing data for identifying analytes by coloring one or more analytes with markers in multiple coloring rounds, the markers in each case being specific for a certain set of analytes, detecting multiple markers using a camera, which for each coloring round generates at least one image that includes multiple pixels to which a color value is assigned in each case as color information, and includes colored signals and uncolored signals, wherein a colored signal is a pixel containing color information of a marker, and an uncolored signal is a pixel containing color information that is not based on a marker. A data point in each case includes one or more contiguous pixels in the images of the multiple coloring rounds that are assigned to the same location in a sample.
