Patents by Inventor Keith Oxenrider

Keith Oxenrider 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).

  • Method and apparatus for sequencing molecules
    Patent number: 9222130
    Abstract: The invention comprises a polymer sequencing chip. In one embodiment, an open nano channel is used in the surface of a semiconductor material or glass as a conduit for the polymer and the resulting monomers released from the polymer. As the resulting monomers pass through the nano channel, a detection device reads the sequence of monomers. Preferably, multiple micro LEDs are used to emit a signal when different monomer units pass through a region of the nano channel, such that multiply parallel sequencing operations can be conducted at the same time on a chip.
