Patents by Inventor Kjetill Sigurd Jakobsen

Kjetill Sigurd Jakobsen 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).

  • Solid-phase nucleic acid isolation
    Patent number: 7560228
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of isolating nucleic acid from a sample of cells, said method comprising: (a) binding cells in said sample in a solid support to isolate cells from the sample; (b) lysing the isolated cells; and (c) binding nucleic acid released from said lysed cells to said same solid support and a kit for carrying out such a method. The method may advantageously be used to prepare nucleic acid for use in a nucleic acid-based target cell detection method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 11, 2003
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2009
    Assignee: Genpoint A/S
    Inventors: Knut Rudi, Kjetill Sigurd Jakobsen
  • Nucleic acid detection method
    Publication number: 20040197794
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of detecting a target nucleotide sequence in a nucleic acid molecule, which comprises: (a) binding of an oligonucleotide probe to said nucleic acid molecule; (b) selective labelling of the bound oligonucleotide probe in the presence of said target nucleotide sequence; (c) hybridization of the labelled oligonucleotide to a complementary sequence; and (d) subsequent detection of the label. Such methods are suitable for qualitative and quantitative assays of microbiological populations.
