US Patent Issued to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center on July 7 for "Rapid detection and identification of bacteria directly from whole blood with light scattering spectroscopy based biosensor" (Massachusetts Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 7 -- United States Patent no. 12,674,752, issued on July 7, was assigned to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc. (Boston).

"Rapid detection and identification of bacteria directly from whole blood with light scattering spectroscopy based biosensor" was invented by Lev T. Perelman (Brookline, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods for identifying bacterial species in biofluid samples (e.g., whole blood samples) are described. The methods rely on optical spectroscopy, and enable rapid detection and identification of bacteria directly from whole blood. Not only can LSS-based techniques detect and identify bacteria in biofluids such as whole blood, but that specie...
