Issuance of Ninth Patent on its ChromaID™ technology for Fluid Analysis
On July 20, 2015, Visualant, Incorporated (the “Company”), a provider of disruptive light-based technologies, announced that it received its ninth patent on its ChromaID™ technology.
The newly issued patent describes a fluid sampling device that simplifies spectral analysis to produce an accurate but inexpensive chromatic fingerprint for fluid samples. The use of the ChromaID in identifying, authenticating and diagnosing fluids extends the reach of the technology through its unique use of an array of variable wavelength LED emitters and photodiode detectors to measure the scattering of electromagnetic energy from a fluid.
The Visualant ChromaID technology as applied to identification, authentication and diagnostics of fluids allows for a wide variety of real-time real world applications. They include, but are not limited to:
|
• |
Determining if water is potable |
|
• |
Looking for the presence of water in aviation jet fuel |
|
• |
Checking for counterfeit fluids including olive oil, wine and spirits |
|
• |
Confirming that the correct fluid is flowing through the IV drip line |
|
• |
Identifying known contaminants in various fluids |
|
• |
Determining if milk is spoiled |
The patent issued by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks is US Patent No. 9,041,920 B2 and is entitled “Device for Evaluation of Fluids using Electromagnetic Energy.”
