Patent number: 9285320Abstract: Cyano-substituted anthracene containing polyamines were synthesized and shown to be efficient polyamine transporter ligands. Moreover, these compounds (3 and 4) had improved fluorescence properties over previously known anthryl-polyamine conjugates, which facilitated their intracellular trafficking by confocal microscopy and fluorescence methods. These cytotoxic fluorescent agents may find use as molecular probes which traffic into cells via the polyamine transport system and may also be viable anticancer drugs which are readily quantified in human tissues due to their excellent fluorescence properties: (excitation: ? 405 nm) and emission (420 nm) occurs in the visible light range. The ability to excite and emit in the visible range provides an advantage to these probes as these wavelengths are considered non-toxic to human cells (versus ultraviolet mediated excitations, ?<400 nm) and visible light lasers are less costly to purchase and operate than UV laser sources.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventor: Otto Phanstiel, IV

Publication number: 20140357504Abstract: A system and methods for consumer use of a microarray product are provided. A method includes obtaining a microarray product and contacting the microarray product with a sample and performing bioassays. The method further includes obtaining a decoding information data package from a manufacturer of the microarray product for correlating bioassay signals from the bioassays with respective analytes, wherein the microarray product is obtained at a first time different and discrete from a second time that the decoding information data package is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Dieter Trau, Andreas Schmidt
