  • Diagnostic and sample preparation devices and methods
    Patent number: 10301666
    Abstract: Contemplated methods and devices are drawn to preparation and analysis of analytes from biological samples. In a preferred embodiment the analytes are nucleic acids that are both released from biological compartments present in the sample and fragmented through the use of a voltage potential applied to a pair of electrodes. The nucleic acids thus prepared are subsequently characterized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2019
    Assignee: General Atomics
    Inventors: Shana O. Kelley, Susan Bortolin, Reginald James McKenzie Orton, Stefan Christopher Wiechula
