MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511122292 A) filed by K. R. Mangalam University, Gurugram, Haryana, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'portable point-of-care diagnostic device for rapid detection and identification of antimicrobial resistance.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Rishi Ranjan; Dr. Khalid Basir Mir; Mr. Mohit Agrawal; and Dr. Sumit Kalra.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a low-cost, portable point-of-care Microfluidics device that provides rapid detection of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) without the need for microbial culture. The microfluidics device integrates a microchannel-based antibiotic exposure matrix, a real-time glow detection micro-optical parallel processing module, and a portable digital processor that analyzes fluorescence and/or absorbance data for pathogenic detection and susceptibility determination in about 30 minutes. A clinical sample is introduced into the cartridge, distributed across antibiotic-laden microchannels, and evaluated for viability changes. The processed results generate an instant antibiogram, which is further transmitted to a cloud-linked dashboard for clinical decision support. The device enables low-cost, rapid AMR profiling in remote and resource-limited settings."
