Patents by Inventor Andy Hadd

Andy Hadd 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).

  • Methods and apparatus for template capture and normalization for submicroliter reaction
    Patent number: 6927045
    Abstract: Methods for preparing nanoscale reactions using nucleic acids are presented. Nucleic acids are captured saturably, yet reversibly, on the internal surface of the reaction chamber, typically a capillary. Excess nucleic acid is removed and the reaction is performed directly within the capillary. Alternatively, the saturably bound nucleic acid is eluted, dispensing a metered amount of nucleic acid for subsequent reaction in a separate chamber. Devices for effecting the methods of the invention and a system designed advantageously to utilize the methods for high throughput nucleic acid sequencing reactions are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2005
    Assignee: Amersham Biosciences (SV) Corp
    Inventors: Andy Hadd, Stevan Jovanovich
