  • Harvesting of processed carbon nanotubes
    Patent number: 8251225
    Abstract: A method of harvesting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is provided. According to this method, CNT bundles, comprising CNTs associated with metallic catalysts and having amorphous carbon coatings are agitated in an aqueous liquid containing a dispersant with free-flowing grit particles to disassociate the CNTs from the metallic catalysts, remove the amorphous carbon of the amorphous carbon coatings and shorten the CNTs via shearing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2012
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by The National Institute of Standards and Technology
    Inventors: John Marino, Gary Giulian
  • Bacteriophage/Quantum-Dot (Phage-QD) Nanocomplex to Detect Biological Targets in Clinical and Environmental Isolates
    Publication number: 20110086338
    Abstract: The invention is related to a non-biotinylated bacteriophage that comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a biotinylation domain, a complex that comprises a biotinylated bacteriophage and a biotin-specific ligand conjugated bioconjugate, and a method of detecting a bacterial cell in a sample comprising contacting the sample with a non-biotinylated bacteriophage that comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a biotinylation domain, wherein the bacteriophage is specific to the bacterial cell.
