Arkansas Patent of the Month – July 2024
PinPoint Testing, LLC is striving to ease the process of analytical testing. In this bid, the company has been granted a patent for their innovative method for determining the concentration of various analytes in test samples.
This novel approach is designed to enhance precision, reduce errors, and streamline the testing process. The method involves the use of spiked matrix calibration standards, which are carefully prepared with a range of analyte concentrations identical to those being quantified in the test samples. This ensures that the calibration standards accurately reflect the conditions of the test samples.
A critical aspect of this method is the incorporation of a solid blank matrix, which includes materials such as plant extracts and food products. By isolating extracts from these matrices and combining them with the test samples, the method effectively eliminates matrix-related interferences that often plague quantitative analyses. This results in more reliable and reproducible data.
The analytes quantified using this method cover a broad spectrum, including cannabinoids, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, and synthetic drugs. This wide range makes the method highly versatile and applicable across various industries, from forensic and clinical testing to environmental monitoring and food safety.
PinPoint Testing’s method not only simplifies the preparation of calibration standards but also significantly reduces human error. By automating and standardizing the process, the likelihood of mistakes during sample preparation and analysis is minimized. This advancement represents a significant leap forward in the field of analytical testing, offering a more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective solution for determining analyte concentrations.
