Hand-Held Portable Microarray Reader For Biodetection

View page

US Patent:

8428398, Apr 23, 2013

Filed:

Jun 29, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/826215

Inventors:

Deanna Lynn Thompson - Orangevale CA, US
Matthew A. Coleman - Oakland CA, US
Stephen M. Lane - Oakland CA, US
Dennis L. Matthews - Gold River CA, US
Joanna Albala - Stockton CA, US
Sebastian Wachsmann-Hogiu - Sacramento CA, US

Assignee:

Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC - Livermore CA
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA

International Classification:

G06K 9/22

US Classification:

382313, 348294

Abstract:

A hand-held portable microarray reader for biodetection includes a microarray reader engineered to be small enough for portable applications. The invention includes a high-powered light-emitting diode that emits excitation light, an excitation filter positioned to receive the excitation light, a slide, a slide holder assembly for positioning the slide to receive the excitation light from the excitation filter, an emission filter positioned to receive the excitation light from the slide, a lens positioned to receive the excitation light from the emission filter, and a CCD camera positioned to receive the excitation light from the lens.

Selection Method For Producing Recombinant Baculovirus

US Patent:

6428960, Aug 6, 2002

Filed:

Oct 30, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/702181

Inventors:

Robin Clark - Benecia CA
Joanna Albala - Stockton CA
Ian McConnell - Danville CA
Ken Franke - Gaithersburg MD

Assignee:

Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Richmond CA

International Classification:

C12Q 168

US Classification:

435 6, 435 697, 435 701, 536 2372

Abstract:

The present invention provides a novel method for producing recombinant baculoviruses expressing genes of interest by inserting a selectable marker gene, specifically the puromycin resistance (pac) gene, adjacent to the gene of interest into the baculovirus genome, and selecting for viruses that express the selectable marker. Selection of the recombinant virus in the presence of a selection condition, such as puromycin-containing cell culture media, simplifies virus production by eliminating the need for cloning, and testing the virus for gene expression. Such expression systems are readily adapted to an automated method for expression foreign genetic material in a high throughput manner.
