Patent number: 7070739Abstract: A method for separating microorganisms, especially infectious agents, from a mixture by two dimensional centrifugation on the basis of sedimentation rate and isopycnic banding density, for sedimenting such microorganisms through zones of immobilized reagents to which they are resistant, for detecting banded particles by light scatter or fluorescence using nucleic acid specific dyes, and for recovering the banded particles in very small volumes for characterization by mass spectrometry of viral protein subunits and intact viral particles, and by fluorescence flow cytometric determination of both nucleic acid mass and the masses of fragments produced by restriction enzymes. The method is based on the discovery that individual microorganisms, such as bacterial and viral species, are each physically relatively homogeneous, and are distinguishable in their biophysical properties from other biological particles, and from non-biological particles found in nature.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventors: Norman G.

Patent number: 6939453Abstract: Highly hydrophobic compounds and hydrophobic proteins are solubilized in a non-aqueous solvent containing an electrolyte for electrophoretic separation. The non-aqueous solvent is an ionic liquid or a mixture of an organic solvent containing an ionic liquid in an amount to render the solvent electrically conductive and amenable for electrophoretic separation. The hydrophobic proteins are separated by electrophoresis using an electrophoresis gel that is compatible with the organic solvent and ionic liquid.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventors: Norman G. Anderson, James A. Braatz

Patent number: 6933109Abstract: Methods and reagents for rapid purification and/or identification of particles in a liquid sample are described. The technique uses centrifugation to concentrate particles against a slanted surface having an agent specifically binding to the particles. This method is applicable for the rapid identification of viruses and other difficult or impossible to culture microorganisms without replication or amplification of the microorganism.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventor: Norman G.

Patent number: 6709871Abstract: Ways for reproducibly making liquid gradients with a high degree of precision are provided. Different regions in the gradient are preformed by premixing liquids usable for other components of the gradient to form an intermediate gradient component that is then added to the vessel. The system is particularly adapted for making non-linear and multiple overlapping different gradients in the same liquid in the same vessel.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventor: Norman G.

Patent number: 6702229Abstract: Flight information is displayed using visual indications that resemble real world visual cues. For example, left and right side attitude displays extend vertically along each side of the windshield and a yaw display extends along a lower edge of the windshield. The attitude displays employ reference indications and outermost indications which track the position of the actual horizon. The yaw display employs outermost indications spaced from a reference indication a distance proportional to the rate of turn. Indexing of indications between the references and the outermost indications provides the appearance of movement representing climb, descent and turns. The rate and direction of indexing may be proportional to the rate and direction of change.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2002Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Inventors: Norman G.

Patent number: 6653151Abstract: A method is disclosed which relates to the placement of binding partners on microarrays, where such binding partners contain proteins, nucleic acids, biological cells and other bio-reactive components. The present invention discloses uses and methods for manufacture of microarrays constructed in part by sectioning bundles of tubules or rods containing matrix immobilized bio-reactive molecules to produce large numbers of sample chips. The chips so produced are processed by deposition to microarrays. The deposited chips can then be manipulated to partition the immobilizing matrix away from the bio-reactive molecules contained in the matrix and to place said partitioned molecules onto various surfaces for subsequent analysis, to include binding assays, hybridization reactions, diagnostic methods and a variety of cell interaction-determining methodologies.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventors: Norman G.

Patent number: 6641517Abstract: A float is used for preparing a density gradient in a parallel-walled vessel. The float has an outer peripheral surface that has a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of an inner surface of the vessel. With the float placed inside the vessel a liquid is introduced onto the float such that the liquid flows around the float between the float and the inner wall of the vessel. The shape and configuration of the float slows the velocity of the liquid such that there is only laminar flow as the liquid contacts other liquid below the float. Elimination of turbulent flow prevents mixing of different liquid introduced into the same vessel thereby forming layers of fluid. Preferably, the vessel is a centrifuge tube. In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the float is large enough to cause capillary action between the float and the inner surface of the centrifuge tube to force liquid to remain between the float and the inner surface of the centrifuge tube.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventor: Norman G. Anderson

Publication number: 20030203366Abstract: Microarrays are made from sections of a molded block having many channels. These channels, which are formed by casting and/or embedding a rod in a moldable solid, are used to immobilize biological and chemical binding components after rod removal. The microarrays can be used in general biological assays, clinical evaluations and chemical library analyses.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Applicant: Large Scale Proteomics CorporationInventors: Drahoslav Lim, Norman G.
