US Patent Issued to Roche Molecular Systems on Sept. 8 for "Microfluidic partition leakage detection methods and systems" (Swiss, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,730,025, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to Roche Molecular Systems Inc. (Pleasanton, Calif.).

"Microfluidic partition leakage detection methods and systems" was invented by Jean Verrette (Zurich), Lars Schmohl (Ballwil, Switzerland) and Megan Gonzales (Livermore, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "System and methods in this disclosure identify leakage from one partition to surrounding partitions. Detecting leakage may include input data describing the location of the partition, the fluorescence intensity, and whether the partition is positive for an analyte. A machine learning model may be trained on an extensive input data set to id...
