Dean G. BINGER 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: 10036708
    Abstract: Methods, reagents, kits and systems are disclosed for determining an analyte in a sample suspected of containing the analyte where all reagents are soluble in aqueous solution. One assay method includes treating a sample suspected of containing the analyte under conditions such that if the analyte is present, an activator is brought into reactive configuration with a chemiluminescent compound to activates it. The sample is also treated with an agent to reduce signal not related to analyte. Finally, the sample is treated with a trigger solution thereby producing light from the activated chemiluminescent compound. No reagents are associated with a surface or other solid phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2018
    Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.
    Inventors: Hashem Akhavan-Tafti, Dean G. Binger, Ying Chen, Renuka De Silva, Terri McLernon, James Mendoza, Bruce H. Odegaard, Michael Salvati, Nir Shapir, Wenhua Xie
