Marc I. Glazer 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).

  • Porous silica substrates for polymer synthesis and assays
    Patent number: 6824866
    Abstract: Methods are provided for making and using thin films of porous silica substrates to synthesize arrays of polymers. Methods are also provided for assaying such polymers on porous silica substrates. The porous silica substrates offer an increase in array density and signal enhancement over conventional flat glass substrates. Examples of polymers that can be synthesized and assayed include biological polymers such as nucleic acids, polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides. Arrays of nucleic acids or polynucleotides can be used for a variety of hybridization-based experiments such as nucleic acid sequence analysis, nucleic acid expression monitoring, nucleic acid mutation detection, speciation, effects of drug therapy on nucleic acid expression, among others.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2004
    Assignee: Affymetrix, Inc.
    Inventors: Marc I. Glazer, Jacqueline A. Fidanza, Glenn McGall, Curtis W. Frank, Richard Vinci
