Airborne Pollen Identification and Quantification Utlizing Molecular Biologic Techniques and Allergen Specific Primers
- Technology Benefits
- Automated quantification, Relatively low cost, Accurate, scalable network of allergen identification
- Detailed Technology Description
- Our inventors have developed an amplification assay for detection and quantification of pollen from an air sample. The invention enables the quantification of individual components of biologic sources based upon specific genetic components within complex mixtures. This methodology can be automated at a relatively low cost, and can provide an accurate, scalable network of allergenidentification. The commercial application of automated allergen quantification would include applications to public health assessment and marketing to news andweather networks that utilize accurate allergen data in public offerings.
