Daniel Lopez-Ferrer 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).

  • HIGH PRESSURE ENZYMATIC DIGESTION SYSTEM FOR PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION
    Publication number: 20120100565
    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining samples for proteomic analysis that utilizes pressure and a preselected agent to obtain a processing sample in a significantly shorter period of time than prior art methods and which maintains the integrity of the processing sample through the preparatory process. In one embodiment of the invention, a sample and an enzyme are combined and subjected to a pressure, preferably a pressure cycle range that varies between 0 to 35 kpsi, for a period of time of preferably less than 60 seconds. This process results in producing a sample suitable for analysis, which is preferably introduced to another analytical instrument such as a mass spectrometry instrument, or other device.

  • HIGH PRESSURE ENZYMATIC DIGESTION SYSTEM FOR PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION
    Publication number: 20110195430
    Abstract: An on-line method and system for obtaining samples for proteomic analysis that utilizes pressure and a preselected agent to obtain a processing sample in a significantly shorter period of time than prior art methods and which maintains the integrity of the processing sample through the preparatory process, and provides enhanced protein capture. In one embodiment of the invention, a sample and an enzyme are combined and subjected to a pressure, preferably a pressure cycle range that varies between 0 to 35 kpsi, for a period of time of preferably less than 60 seconds. This process results in producing a sample suitable for analysis, which is preferably introduced to another analytical instrument such as a mass spectrometry instrument, or other device.
