Saori Goda 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).

  • Pretreatment method of biological sample, detection method of RNA, and pretreatment kit
    Patent number: 9518901
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a pretreatment method that allows RNA to be detected promptly and simply. RNA degradation activity due to lactoferrin present in the human rhinal mucosa is inhibited, for example, by adding iron ion and carbonate ion to a biological sample that contains the human rhinal mucosa. With the pretreated biological sample, an RNA virus gene can be amplified by a reverse transcriptase. Iron ion and carbonate ion can also inhibit reverse transcriptase inhibition due to lysozyme C contained in the human rhinal mucosa. Further, it is preferable to remove the envelope of the RNA virus by adding SDS to the biological sample that contains the human rhinal mucosa.
