Jeannine Catherine Muller-Greven 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).

  • Hot start nucleic acid amplification
    Patent number: 8404443
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for performing nucleic acid duplication and amplification reactions are provided. A single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein is selected and provided in the reaction mixture which is assembled at a low, nonstringent temperature to include all of the necessary reagents for successful nucleic acid duplication or amplification reactions. By incorporating a single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein into the reaction mixture at low temperature, the generation of nonspecific products such as amplification products is improved despite the reaction mixture having been fully assembled at a nonstringent temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2013
    Assignee: Affymetrix, Inc.
    Inventors: Christopher James Kubu, Jeannine Catherine Muller-Greven, Robert Bruce Moffett
