  • Molecular tag reader
    Patent number: 7189366
    Abstract: Near infrared molecular assays can be used to detect small quantities of a molecule of interest in vivo or in vitro using laser dyes. A hand-held portable device is provided which can rapidly read small quantities of selected molecular tags in tissues of fish or other animals in the field. The device is composed of four components: (1) a light source, such as a laser diode; (2) a sample holder; (3) an optical system; and (4) a detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2007
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Interior
    Inventors: William F. Krise, John L. Sternick
  • Molecular tag reader
    Patent number: 6949508
    Abstract: Foreign proteins are placed into the blood of an animal so that they can be recovered at a later time and used for identification. Proteins are administered to the animal from a water bath via the animal's gills (where appropriate), gut and, through the skin. The foreign protein is detectable in small amounts using immune assays which magnify the available signals or tags in an assay.
