ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,678,500, issued on July 14.

"Pathogen destruction system and method using magnetic markers" was invented by Abron Arrington (Denver).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A cell destruction method includes providing an anionic biomarker that comprises a magnetic material such as an iron or an iron compound. The anionic biomarker is introduced into an organism having pathogen cells with a negative charge. The anionic biomarkers are attracted to the negative charges of the pathogen and couple thereto. The anionic biomarker may also have a coupler portion that further aids in the anionic biomarker coupling to and being bound to the pathogen cell an...
