MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511128973 A) filed by Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 19, 2025, for 'a system for concentric multi-chamber culture for volatile-mediated biological interaction studies.'
Inventor(s) include Vivek Kumar; Charu Sharma; Vishal Rajput; and Vijay Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides a system comprising a peripheral culture chamber 2 designed to host volatile organic compound (VOC)-producing microorganisms arranged annularly and a concentric central culture chamber3 configured for volatile-responsive biological samples, optionally subdividable with internal subdivision walls 6. Continuous vertical divider walls 4 extend above the nutrient medium to maintain physical and nutrient isolation while permitting gas-phase diffusion. A common sealing lid 1 with an integrally molded or attached elastomeric gasket 5 and selectively sealable ports 8 forms a controlled shared headspace, ensuring VOC diffusion per Fick's laws without cross-contamination. The architecture enables precise gaseous interaction studies, isolating liquid media yet facilitating controlled volatile-mediated communication between compartments."
