MUMBAI, India, July 25 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517043366 A) filed by Cytonome/ST, Llc, Lexington, U.S.A., on May 5, for 'massively parallel cell analysis and sorting apparatus and methods.'

Inventor(s) include Sharpe, Johnathan, Charles; and Spink, Pascal.

The application for the patent was published on July 25, under issue no. 30/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A massively parallel microfluidic chip is provided having a plurality of sections that are stacked or layered along a stacking direction to form a plurality of microchannels at least partially oriented to flow along the stacking direction. The plurality of sections can include a transfer section for introduction of sample fluid including particles, a particle focusing section configured to focus the particles in the sample fluid, and an actuation section including a plurality of interrogation regions and a plurality of actuators. Each interrogation region and actuator is associated with at least one microchannel in the plurality of microchannels. The arrangement of the microfluidic channels along the stacking direction enables an extremely high packing density of channels and interrogation regions on a single chip to provide massively parallel processing of particles."

The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 27, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/036118.
