  • Portable magnetic pocket
    Patent number: 8646971
    Abstract: A portable bag having a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric that are attached at outer edges to form a first hollow chamber. The layers of fabric are folded to form a first pocket and a second pocket. The first pocket is folded to form a flap. Magnets are inserted within the first pocket and the flap such that the magnets align when the flap is folded over the first pocket.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2014
    Assignee: Pocket Plus, L.L.C.
    Inventor: Sharon A. Doyle
  • Aptamers and methods for their in vitro selection and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8105982
    Abstract: The present method is an improved in vitro selection protocol that relies on magnetic separations for DNA aptamer production that is relatively easy and scalable without the need for expensive robotics. The ability of aptamers selected by this method to recognize and bind their target protein with high affinity and specificity, and detail their uses in a number of assays is also described. Specific TTF1 and His6 aptamers were selected using the method described, and shown to be useful for enzyme-linked assays, Western blots, and affinity purification.
