Patents by Inventor Barrett Bready

Barrett Bready 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).

  • Patent number: 9051609
    Abstract: Methods for sequencing a biopolymer by forming local ternary complexes along the length of the double-stranded biopolymer target molecule using one or more probes and obtaining information about the location of the probe(s) using a detector. These methods offer particular advantage when implemented with nanopore (including micropore) detection systems.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 9, 2015
    Assignee: NABsys, Inc.
    Inventors: John Oliver, Barrett Bready, Peter Goldstein, Franco Preparata
  • Patent number: 8882980
    Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting an analyte are provided. Devices for voltage sensing of analytes may comprise a fluidic channel defined in a substrate, a pair of sensing electrodes disposed in a fluidic channel for sensing voltage therein, and a pair of electromotive electrodes for applying potential along the fluidic channel. The pair of sensing electrodes may include a first and second sensing electrode disposed at two discrete locations along the length of the fluidic channel and the pair of electromotive electrodes may be disposed at a first end and a second end of the fluidic channel. The fluidic channel may include a nanochannel or a microchannel.

  • Publication number: 20070190542
    Abstract: A method of employing a nanopore structure in a manner that allows the detection of the positions (relative and/or absolute) of nucleic acid probes that are hybridized onto a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule. In accordance with the method the strand of interest is hybridized with a probe having a known sequence. The strand and hybridized probes are translocated through a nanopore. The fluctuations in current measured across the nanopore will vary as a function of time corresponding to the passing of a probe attachment point along the strand. These fluctuations in current are then used to determine the attachment positions of the probes along the strand of interest. This probe position data is then fed into a computer algorithm that returns the sequence of the strand of interest.
