MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641006641 A) filed by Oneomics Private Limited, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 23, for 'portable real-time point-of-care molecular device and application thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kesavan Markkandan; Dr. Raveendran Muthurajan; Dr. Senthil Kumar Nachimuthu; and Ms. Elavarasi Balasubramanian.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Portable Real-time Point-of-Care Molecular Device and Application thereof The present invention relates to a portable real-time point-of-care molecular diagnostic device for performing in-vitro nucleic acid amplification and detection using isothermal amplification chemistry, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and reverse transcription- LAMP (RT-LAMP). The device integrates a microcontroller (10), temperature sensor (20), color sensor (22), control driver (30), and Peltier element (32), powered via a battery management system (44) and rechargeable power source (50), to provide rapid, sensitive, and automated detection of infectious disease biomarkers. The system ensures precise temperature control, real- time signal acquisition, automated result interpretation, and safe sample handling within a compact, hand-held, and portable format. The device delivers diagnostic results in under 30 minutes, eliminating the need for complex laboratory infrastructure or skilled personnel. The invention is particularly suited for resource-limited healthcare settings, mobile diagnostic units, public places, and emergency outbreak monitoring, providing cost-effective, reliable, and rapid point-of-care molecular diagnostics."
