Judith Pinsl-Ober has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Use of silica material in an amplification reaction
    Patent number: 8026068
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the isolation of a target nucleic acid using a material with an unmodified silica surface and subsequent amplification of the target nucleic acid in the presence of the material with an unmodified silica surface. The method is preferably carried out as an automated process preferably in a high throughput format. The method is preferably used in diagnostics.

  • Analysis system for the automatic analysis of body fluids
    Patent number: 5424212
    Abstract: Analysis system for the automatic analysis of body fluids for a plurality of different analytes (parameters). An analytical apparatus incorporates reaction vessels (8) which are transported on the apparatus to various handling stations (10 to 16). The system also includes liquid reagents, which are held in readiness on the apparatus in reagent vessels (9), their volume sufficing for a large number of analyses. In order to achieve a high degree of analytical accuracy with reduced probability of operating errors and without significant increasing of the overall system costs, a calibrator is stored ready for use in liquid form in a calibrator station (17) of the analytical apparatus, the calibration is initiated and carried out fully automatically (i.e. without human intervention) for the various parameters independently of one another.
