Jarrett Lee Burton 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).

  • Up-converting reporters for biological and other assays
    Patent number: 6312914
    Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions, and apparatus for performing sensitive detection of analytes, such as biological macromolecules and other analytes, by labeling a probe molecule with an up-converting label. The up-converting label absorbs radiation from an illumination source and emits radiation at one or more higher frequencies, providing enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and the essential elimination of background sample autofluorescence. The methods, compositions, and apparatus are suitable for the sensitive detection of multiple analytes and for various clinical and environmental sampling techniques.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 18, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 6, 2001
    Assignee: Orasure Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Keith W. Kardos, R. Sam Niedbala, Jarrett Lee Burton, David E. Cooper, David A. Zarling, Michel J. Rossi, Norman A. Peppers, James Kane, Gregory W. Faris, Mark J. Dyer, Steve Y. Ng, Luke V. Schneider
