Todd Sells 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).

  • Patent number: 7875467
    Abstract: Chemiluminescent acridinium compounds are used in homogeneous assays to determine the concentration of an analyte in a sample without strong acid or strong base treatment. The chemiluminescent acridinium compounds include acridinium esters with electron donating functional groups at the C2 and/or C7 position on the acridinium nucleus to inhibit pseudo-base formation, or acridinium sulfonamides with or without electron donating functional groups at the C2 and/or C7 position on the acridinium nucleus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2011
    Assignee: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.
    Inventors: Anand A. Natrajan, Todd Sells, Hartmut Schroeder, Guohan Yang, David Sharpe, Qingping Jiang, Hana Lukinsky, Say-Jong Law

  • Patent number: 6465175
    Abstract: Methods are provided for reducing background signals encountered in nucleic acid hybridization assays and other assays that involve hybridization of a labeled oligomer to its complement. The method is premised on the significant reduction of signal generation that occurs when a quenchable dye-labeled oligomer forms a hybrid complex. In addition, a method is provided for enhancing the detectable signal emitted from an amplification multimer hybridized to an oligomer probe to which a quenchable dye has been conjugated through a linker such that the emission from the dye is not quenched upon hybrid complex formation. Novel oligonucleotide probes are also provided that comprise an oligomer to which has been directly or indirectly through a linker a quenchable dye.
