Patents by Inventor Konstantinos Dimitrios Potamousis

Konstantinos Dimitrios Potamousis 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: 11779922
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for en masse patterning of nucleic acid molecule structures are disclosed. The devices can include microchannels and nanoslits. The microchannels and nanoslits can be connected by parking chambers. The systems and methods can utilize the geometry of the devices in coordination with a voltage application routine to park nucleic acid molecules in the parking chambers and subsequently inject the nucleic acid molecules into the nanoslits. The methods can be utilized to present nucleic acid molecules in a fashion suitable for genomic analysis. The methods can also be utilized to provide size selection of the nucleic acid molecules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: WISCONSIN ALUMNI RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: David Charles Schwartz, Kristy L. Kounovsky-Shafer, Juan Pablo Hernandez-Ortiz, Konstantinos Dimitrios Potamousis, Juan Jose De Pablo, Theo Odijk, Kyubong Jo
