Title: Innovations by Lee O Lomas
Introduction
Lee O Lomas is a notable inventor based in Pleasanton, CA (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of biotechnology. With a total of six patents to his name, Lomas has made significant advancements in protein quantitation and fluidics devices.
Latest Patents
One of Lomas's latest patents is the "Multi-protein quantitation standard." This invention provides a protein quantitation standard that includes polypeptides of different molecular weights, functioning as a mass quantitation standard in an electrophoretic gel. The standard comprises unstained polypeptides with varying electrophoretic mobilities, present in different quantities, resulting in bands of different intensities when visualized. Additionally, it may contain prestained polypeptides that serve as visual molecular weight markers. The patent also outlines methods for determining the mass of a target polypeptide or protein using this standard.
Another significant patent is the "Fluidics device," which contemplates various devices designed to separate a sample containing multiple unique species into several sub-samples. This is achieved by passing the sample across a corresponding number of separation media configured for an initial separation protocol. Each sub-sample can undergo further separation, creating multiple mini-samples for additional analysis. The invention simplifies the process by using conduits to form a fluid path through the separation media, allowing for independent analysis of each isolated sub-sample.
