Latest Patents
Amess's latest patents include a robotic device for removing selected portions of a polyacrylamide gel. This invention provides computer-assisted methods and apparatus for identifying, selecting, and characterizing biomolecules in a biological sample. A two-dimensional array is generated by separating biomolecules present in a complex mixture. A computer-readable profile is constructed representing the identity and relative abundance of a plurality of biomolecules detected by imaging the two-dimensional array. Computer-mediated comparison of profiles from multiple samples permits automated identification of subsets of biomolecules that satisfy pre-ordained criteria. Identified biomolecules can be automatically isolated from the two-dimensional array by a robotic device in accordance with computer-generated instructions. Additionally, he has developed a supported gel suitable for electrophoresis that is bonded to a solid support, ensuring two-dimensional spatial stability while being non-interfering with respect to detection of labels associated with biomolecules in the gel.
