ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,492,994, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Nirrin Technologies Inc. (Billerica, Mass.).
"Fabry perot interferometry for measuring cell viability" was invented by Bryan A. Hassell (Cambridge, Mass.), Walid A. Atia (Jamaica Plain, Mass.) and David P. Marchessault (Hopkinton, Mass.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for studying cell viability and protein aggregation involves establishing a Fabry Perot etalon signal within an optical spectroscopic feature, e.g., in the near infrared region. Protein aggregation and cell viability can be reflected by changes observed in the magnitude of the Fourier Transform peaks observed in the frequenc...
