Alexander Fotin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Customized oligonucleotide microchips that convert multiple genetic information to simpler patterns, are portable and reusable
    Publication number: 20070111215
    Abstract: This invention relates to using customize oligonucleotide microchips as biosensors for the detection and identification of nucleic acids specific for different genes, organisms and/or individuals in the environment, in food and in biological samples. The microchips are designed to convert multiple bits of genetic information into simpler patterns of signals that are interpreted as a unit. Because of an improved method of hybridizing oligonucleotides from samples to microchips, microchips are reusable to transportable. For field study, portable laser or bar code scanners are suitable.
    Type: Application
