Jolanda Maas 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).

  • Universal nucleic acid amplification system for nucleic acids in a sample
    Publication number: 20050064478
    Abstract: Methods for amplifying nucleic acid in a sample including providing the sample with a set of primers to enable synthesis of at least one nucleic acid strand complementary to at least part of the nucleic acid, wherein the set of primers comprises between 3-8 random bases, preferably clustered near the 3? end of each primer in said set of primers. The methods of the invention are useful, for example, for determining whether samples derived from humans, mammals, poultry, or fish comprise nucleic acid of a pathogen. The methods are further suited for typing the pathogen and typing particular variants of said pathogen. The methods are also suited for the elucidation of the gene expression profile or genetic profile of cells.
    Type: Application

  • Universal nucleic acid amplification system for nucleic acids in a sample
    Patent number: 6808888
    Abstract: Methods for amplifying nucleic acid in a sample comprising providing the sample with a set of primers to enable synthesis of at least one nucleic acid strand complementary to at least part of the nucleic acid, wherein the set of primers comprises between 3-8 random bases, preferably clustered near the 3′ end of each primer in said set of primers. The methods of the invention are useful, for example, for determining whether samples derived from humans, mammals, poultry, or fish comprise nucleic acid of a pathogen. The methods are further suited for typing the pathogen and typing particular variants of said pathogen. The methods are also suited for the elucidation of the gene expression profile or genetic profile of cells.
