T. Boles - Lexington MA, US
Ezra Abrams - Newton MA, US
Assignee:
Mosaic Technologies, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
C12Q001/68
C12P019/34
US Classification:
435/006000, 435/091200

US Patent:
20030138774, Jul 24, 2003
Filed:
Jan 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/766880
Inventors:
Chris Jones - Riverdale NJ, US
Ezra Abrams - Newton MA, US
Stephen Kieffer-Higgins - Dorchester MA, US
Tianhong Zhang - Ashland MA, US
Graham Eacock - Westborough MA, US
Michael Webb - Dunstable MA, US
Christopher McDowell - Maynard MA, US
International Classification:
C12Q001/68
G01N033/53
US Classification:
435/006000, 435/007100, 204/461000
Abstract:
A thin gel for separating and detecting a target molecule, (e.g., an analyte) and methods of use thereof is described. The gel can be optionally reinforced to facilitate removal from an electrophoretic apparatus, wherein the gel matrix comprises immobilized (e.g., covalently bound) capture probes capable of specifically hybridizing with, or binding to, the analyte to be detected. The gel is thin and very short assay times can be achieved facilitating rapid detection of analytes. An assay apparatus is suitable for use with an electrophoretic assay system for the detection of, or separation and detection of an analyte in a biological sample is also described.

Philip Hammond - Brighton MA, US
Christopher Adams - Somerville MA, US
Ezra Abrams - West Newton MA, US
T. Boles - Waltham MA, US
Assignee:
EXACT Sciences Corporation
International Classification:
C12Q001/68
G01L001/20
US Classification:
435/006000, 204/461000
Abstract:
A slotted electrophoresis gel composition and methods of use are disclosed in the present invention. The invention also describes an apparatus that is used to produce a slotted electrophoresis gel composition.

Method For Detecting Analytes

View page
US Patent:
20120149007, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Sep 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/120516
Inventors:
Ezra Abrams - Newton MA, US
Sadanand Gite - Arlington MA, US
Lisa Shinefeld - Lexington MA, US
Don Straus - Cambridge MA, US
Gordon Siek - Somerville MA, US
Greg Yantz - Somerville MA, US
Assignee:
Straus Holdings Inc. - Bedford MA
International Classification:
G01N 21/64
US Classification:
435 5, 435 615, 436501, 435 732
Abstract:
The invention provides an improved method for sensitive and specific detection of target molecules, cells, or viruses. The inventive method uses large area imaging to detect individual labeled targets complexed with a target-specific selection moiety. The invention eliminates wash steps through the use of target-specific selection through one or more liquid layers that can contain optical dye and density agents. By eliminating washes the invention simplifies instrumentation engineering and minimizes user steps and costs. The invention uses sensitive image analysis to enumerate individual targets in a large area, is scalable, and can be deployed in systems ranging in complexity from manual to highly automated.

Preparative Electrophoretic Method For Targeted Purification Of Genomic Dna Fragments

View page
US Patent:
20210207122, Jul 8, 2021
Filed:
Nov 21, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/777577
Inventors:
Robi David Mitra - Fenton MO, US
Jeffrey Milbrandt - St. Louis MO, US
Ezra S. Abrams - Newton MA, US
Todd J. Barbera - Marblehead MA, US
T. Christian Boles - Bedford MA, US
- Beverly MA, US
- St. Louis MO, US
Assignee:
Sage Science, Inc. - Beverly MA
Washington University - St. Louis MO
International Classification:
C12N 15/10
G01N 27/447
Abstract:
A sample containing particles having high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA is entrapped in a gel matrix, and the gel matrix is exposed to a lysis reagent configured to release the HMW DNA from the particles. The HMW DNA may be purified by subjecting the gel matrix to an electrophoretic field that removes the HMW DNA from the particles, lysis reagents, and/or other sample constituents, from the gel matrix such that the HMW DNA remains. The gel matrix may be subjected with DNA cleavase reagents configured to cleave at specific DNA sequences within the HMW DNA to liberate defined segments of the DNA as fragments of reduced size. The gel matrix may also be subjected to an electrophoretic field, which moves and separates the DNA fragments from uncleaved DNA of the HMW DNA, which remains substantially immobile. The electrophoretically separated DNA fragments may be isolated from the gel matrix.
