Patents by Inventor Yury Agroskin

Yury Agroskin 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).

  • MASS SPECTROMETRY PROBES HAVING HYDROPHOBIC COATIINGS
    Publication number: 20080193772
    Abstract: This invention provides a mass spectrometry probe including a substrate having a surface and a hydrophobic coating that coats the surface. The hydrophobic coating includes openings that define features for the presentation of an analyte. The hydrophobic coating also has a lower surface tension that the features on the substrate surface, and has a water contact angle between 115° and 140°.

  • Photocrosslinked hydrogel surface coatings
    Publication number: 20070082019
    Abstract: A hydrogel layer is applied to a substrate advantageously when the layer is formed in situ, using a polymeric or copolymeric precursor that includes, respectively, monomer subunits that have a photocrosslinkable functionality and monomer subunits that have a chemically selective functionality for binding a biomolecular analyte, such as a protein. A hydrogel-coated substrate thus obtained is particularly useful as a probe for mass spectroscopic analysis, including SELDI analysis. Hydrogel particles also can be used for SELDI analysis.
