  • Patent number: 10362237
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for the measurement of signal intensity across a large dynamic range. The systems disclosed herein employ an iterative image collection strategy that utilizes structured illumination to achieve greater than 1,000,000-fold dynamic range measurements, representing a dramatic improvement over the prior art.

  • Patent number: 7598047
    Abstract: A process and a kit are provided for detecting differences in two or more samples of protein, including proteins bearing post-translational modifications and peptides. Proteins are prepared, for example, from each of a different group of cell samples or body fluid samples to be compared. Each protein extract is labeled with a different one of a luminescent dye from a matched set of dyes. The matched dyes have generally the same ionic and pH characteristics but emit light at different wavelengths to exhibit a different color upon luminescence detection. The labeled protein extracts are mixed together and separated together by electrophoresis or a chromatographic method. The separation is observed to detect proteins unique to one sample or present in a greater ratio in one sample than in the other. Those unique or excess proteins will fluoresce the color of one of the dyes used. Proteins common to each sample migrate together and fluoresce the same.

  • Publication number: 20070287828
    Abstract: Substrates (e.g., polymer), and/or solid supports (e.g., glass) having one or more biomolecule-binding compounds covalently bound to the surface of the substrate or solid support reversible covalent attachment of biomolecules thereto.

  • Publication number: 20030054408
    Abstract: A method for identifying a protein including cleaving the protein with a proteolytic agent to produce peptide fragments, providing an array comprising a solution set of binding reagents, contacting the peptide fragments with the array to promote specific interactions between the fragments and the array, detecting the binding pattern of the peptide fragments on the array, and comparing the binding pattern of the peptide fragments to a reference set. A solution set refers to a set of binding reagents, or epitopes associated with such binding reagents, that can identify members of a given protein mixture or protein catalog using a minimal number of binding reagents (or epitopes corresponding to the binding reagents) based on certain constraints. The solution set can be determined using a randomized greedy algorithm. The solution set can be refined using a local search algorithm.

Each protein extract is labeled with a different one of a luminescent dye from a matched set of dyes. The matched dyes have generally the same ionic and pH characteristics but emit light at different wavelengths to exhibit a different color upon luminescence detection. The labeled protein extracts are mixed together and electrophoresed together. The gel is observed to detect proteins unique to one sample or present in a greater ratio in one sample than in the other. Those unique or excess proteins will fluoresce the color of one of the dyes used. Proteins common to each sample migrate together and fluoresce the same.
