Patent number: 7361724Abstract: A surface coating composition for providing a self-assembling monolayer, in stable form, on a material surface or at a suitable interface, as well as a method of preparing such a composition and a method of using such a composition to coat a surface, such as the surface of an implantable medical device, in order to provide the surface with desirable properties. The method provides the covalent attachment of a SAM to a surface in a manner that substantially retains or improves the characteristics and/or performance of both the SAM and the surface itself. Covalent attachment is accomplished by the use of one or more latent reactive groups, e.g., provided by either the surface and/or by the SAM-forming molecules themselves.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: SurModics, Inc.Inventors: Patrick E. Guire, Kristin S. Taton

Patent number: 7195913Abstract: Arrays including microparticles having probe and marker moieties are used for the detection of a target in a sample. Microparticles are randomly immobilized on at least a portion of a substrate. A detection scheme is performed to detect the marker associated with the microparticle and the identity of the probe, and any target bound to the probe.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2001Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: SurModics, Inc.Inventors: Patrick E. Guire, Kristin S. Taton, John V. Wall
