Fluid based analysis of multiple analytes by a sensor array
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 2009-02-17) Dean P. Neikirk; Jason B. Shear; John T. McDevitt; Eric V. Anslyn; The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System
A system for the rapid characterization of multi-analyte fluids, in one embodiment, includes a light source, a sensor array, and a detector. The sensor array is formed from a supporting member into which a plurality of cavities may be formed. A series of chemically sensitive particles are, in one embodiment positioned within the cavities. The particles may be configured to produce a signal when a receptor coupled to the particle interacts with the analyte. Using pattern recognition techniques, the analytes within a multi-analyte fluid may be characterized.

Method and system for the analysis of saliva using a sensor array
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 2010-01-26) Dean P. Neikirk; Jason B. Shear; John T. McDevitt; Eric V. Anslyn; Nick J. Christodoulides; The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System
A system for the rapid characterization of analytes in saliva. In one embodiment, a system for detecting analytes includes a light source, a sensor array, and a detector. The sensor array is formed from a supporting member, in which a plurality of cavities may be formed. A series of chemically sensitive particles, in one embodiment, are positioned within the cavities. The particles may produce a signal when a receptor, coupled to the particle, interacts with the cardiovascular risk factor analyte and the particle-analyte complex is visualized using a visualization reagent. Using pattern recognition techniques, the analytes within a multi-analyte fluid may be characterized. In an embodiment, each cavity of the plurality of cavities is designed to capture and contain a specific size particle. Flexible projections may be positioned over each of the cavities to provide retention of the particles in the cavities.
