Project: Develop the Hemolyses Blood Detection System for Detection
of Hemolysis in Human Blood Samples
ADS designed and developed the
Hemolysis Blood Detection System for
detection of Hemolysis in human blood
samples being processed on automated/robotic blood processing lines
used in large hospitals. The objective was to reject blood samples in
which the hemoglobin was outside normal parameters, before the samples
were processed. This had heretofore required human judgement. ADS
devised a system that measures the color of the hemoglobin to be tested
and rejects the sample if not within parameters. This detection system
incorporated the latest fiber optic spectral analysis equipment. This
solution is operated 24/7 at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in
Philadelphia and has broad applicability to a host of laboratories and
medical products manufacturing operations.
Client: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Project: Develop an Automated Laboratory Apparatus to Enhance
Research in Muscle Cells
ADS, with the Laboratory of Physical Biology (LPB),
NIAMS, a research component of the National
Institutes of Health, developed an automated
laboratory apparatus to enhance their research
in muscle cells. This device incorporated real-time
image acquisition, laser control, photo avalance
diode control, digital camera control, motion control
and digital image processing to find the center of an
illuminated cell and track its position as the slide
moves or if the cell itself moves due to a biological process. This entire
system utilizes National Instruments LabVIEW and IMAQ Vision.

Hospital
Project: Develop and Integrate a Real-Time Data Acquisition and
Control System to Monitor EEG Data from Live Specimens
ADS, with University of Pennsylvania Hospital
researchers, developed and integrated a real-
time data acquisition and control system to
monitor EEG data from live specimens. ADS had experience with
biorhythmic data from previous work done with Howard University
Hopsital. ADS also re-engineered a mobile room, at the University of
Pennsylvania Hospital, to research inner ear response to changes using
motion control and control feedback engineering.
