Electrochemical Detection Of Nucleic Acid Sequences

US Patent:
6391558, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Apr 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/549853
Inventors:
Robert W. Henkens - Beaufort NC
John P. ODaly - Carrboro NC
Marek Wojciechowski - Cary NC
Honghua Zhang - San Diego CA
Najih Naser - Orlando FL
R. Michael Roe - Apex NC
Thomas N. Stewart - Durham NC
Deborah M. Thompson - Raleigh NC
Rebecca Sundseth - Durham NC
Steven E. Wegner - Chapel Hill NC
Assignee:
Andcare, Inc. - Durham NC
International Classification:
C12Q 168
US Classification:
435 6, 435 911, 435 912, 422 681, 422 50, 422 62, 422 63, 422 67, 422 69, 422 8201
Abstract:
An electrochemical detection system which specifically detects selected nucleic acid segments is described. The system utilizes biological probes such as nucleic acid or peptide nucleic acid probes which are complementary to and specifically hybridize with selected nucleic acid segments in order to generate a measurable current when an amperometric potential is applied. The electrochemical signal can be quantified.

Colloidal-Gold Electrosensor Measuring Device

US Patent:
5468366, Nov 21, 1995
Filed:
Sep 30, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/316433
Inventors:
Steven Wegner - Chapel Hill NC
Michael A. Harpold - Durham NC
Terence M. McCaffrey - Durham NC
Susan E. Morris - Chapel Hill NC
Marek Wojciechowski - Cary NC
Junguo Zhao - Chapel Hill NC
Robert W. Henkens - Durham NC
Najih Naser - Durham NC
John P. O'Daly - Carrboro NC
Assignee:
Andcare, Inc. - Durham NC
International Classification:
G01N 2726
US Classification:
204403
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new device for use in measuring lead levels in biological and environmental samples. Using square wave coulometry and colloidal gold particles impregnated on carbon electrodes, the present invention provides a rapid, reliable, portable and inexpensive means of detecting low lead levels. The colloidal gold modified electrodes have microelectrode array characteristics and produce significantly higher stripping detection signals for lead than are produced at bulk gold electrode surfaces. The method is effective in determining levels of lead down to at least 5. mu. g/dL in blood samples as small as 10. mu. L.

Handheld Electromonitor Device

US Patent:
5873990, Feb 23, 1999
Filed:
Aug 21, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/711186
Inventors:
Marek Wojciechowski - Cary NC
Frederick A. Ebeling - Cary NC
Robert W. Henkens - Durham NC
Najih A. Naser - Durham NC
John P. O'Daly - Carrboro NC
Steven E. Wegner - Chapel Hill NC
Assignee:
Andcare, Inc. - Durham NC
International Classification:
G01N 2726, G01N 2728
US Classification:
204406
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed which is a microprocessor based instrument designed to conveniently and rapidly measure various analytes in environmental and biological samples. The instrument operates as a stand-alone unit powered by a battery or a DC power module and may be equipped with a communication port allowing uploading test results to a computer. Several unique electronic, microchip and software configurations were developed for the device to make it a portable, low-cost, safe, automated and simple-to-operate instrument particularly adapted for precise and accurate measurement of metal ions such as heavy metals such as lead in human blood.
