Systems And Methods For Submersible Imaging Flow Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
20090109432, Apr 30, 2009
Filed:
Oct 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/978246
Inventors:
Robert J. Olson - Cataumet MA, US
Heidi M. Sosik - Falmouth MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/01
US Classification:
356244
Abstract:
The systems, methods, and apparatus described herein use a combination of video and flow cytometric technology to both capture images of organisms for identification and measure chlorophyll fluorescence associated with each image. Images can be automatically classified with software based on a support vector machine, while the measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence allow us to more efficiently analyze phytoplankton cells by triggering on chlorophyll-containing particles. Quantitation of chlorophyll fluorescence in large phytoplankton cells enables the interpretation of patterns in bulk chlorophyll data, and the discrimination of heterotrophic and phototrophic cells.

US Patent:
20160084814, Mar 24, 2016
Filed:
Dec 7, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/961158
Inventors:
- Woods Hole MA, US
Heidi M. Sosik - Falmouth MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 33/18
G01N 15/14
Abstract:
Submersible technology capable of sampling and evaluating suspended particulate materials, including living and dead organisms, is disclosed herein. In addition to fluorescent imaging and analysis, the invention provides automated cell staining, cell sorting, particulate concentration, and organism recovery and preservation. These new technologies may be incorporated into a traditional “fully vertical flow path” cytometer configuration most suitable for anchored or suspended stationary embodiments, or in a novel modularized “low relief” configuration, suitable for integration into or on a submersible aquatic vehicle or in other low clearance installations, where it is important to limit the vertical height of the device.
