MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511086152 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Jammu on September 10, 2025, for A Testing Device For Rapid Detection Of Human Papillomavirus (hpv) And A Method Thereof.
Inventors include Arun, Ravi Kumar; Kumar, Natish; Kumari, Monika; and Roychowdhury, Srabani.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The proposed testing device (100) for rapid detection of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in a biological sample includes a disposable microfluidic cartridge (100A). The disposable microfluidic cartridge (100A) includes a nucleic acid separation zone (104) to facilitate segregation of purified nucleic acids that are introduced through an inner port (105) from cellular debris based on bifurcation flow principles within the channel network; and an amplification chamber (106) comprising a chitosan- functionalized substrate to enhance nucleic acid capture and facilitate in situ amplification. The disposable microfluidic cartridge (100A) includes an inlet port (103) to introduce a sample into the amplification chamber (106) and a lateral flow assay (LFA) strip (110) to provide a visual indication of the presence or absence of HPV DNA within a predefined time period after introduction of the biological sample into the disposable microfluidic cartridge (100A), without requiring external laboratory equipment.
