Patents by Inventor Pia Ollikka

Pia Ollikka 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).

  • Patent number: 8252536
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated method of nucleic acid analysis, and more particularly to a simplified sample pre-treatment, which renders the method more easily automated, where the sample is provided on or applied onto a solid matrix and the subsequent amplification and detection steps are performed in one single, sealed reaction vial without removing the matrix.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2012
    Assignee: Wallac Oy
    Inventors: Pia Ollikka, Alice Ylikoski

  • Publication number: 20090269737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated method of amplifying and analyzing target nucleic acids, in which immobilized or immobilizable oligonucleotide capture probes are provided and a nucleic acid containing sample to be analyzed is added together with a reagent mixture, which mixture contains all reagents needed for amplification and subsequent analysis of said target nucleic acids. In the method amplification of the target nucleic acids, hybridization of said amplified target nucleic acids to the capture probes and separating the hybrids formed from un-reacted components, as well as the detection and measuring of the amount of labeled, hybridized target nucleic acids by means of a detectable signal, is performed in one reaction chamber. Further provided are reagent mixtures and kits for use in such methods.
