Patents by Inventor Michael Roger Looker

Michael Roger Looker 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).

  • No synthase assay particles and method
    Patent number: 7264921
    Abstract: The invention relates to particles for use in a scintillation proximity assays. In particular, the invention relates to particles for use in a scintillation proximity assay for detecting nitric oxide synthase activity in a sample. The invention also relates to a method of measuring nitric oxide synthase activity in a sample using these particles in a scintillation proximity assay. The invention further relates to methods using these particles to detect the presence of modulators of nitric oxide synthase activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2007
    Assignee: GE Healthcare UK Limited
    Inventors: Michael Roger Looker, David Williams
  • Fluorescence reference plate
    Patent number: 7072036
    Abstract: A multi-modality fluorescence reference plate comprising wells coated with a fluorogenic compound is described, together with a method of producing such a plate. The plate has utility for calibrating fluorescent plate readers and imaging systems for measuring steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime and/or fluorescence polarisation.
