Susan Hetzel 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).

  • Selective isolation and concentration of nucleic acids from complex samples
    Publication number: 20070154903
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample that comprises nucleic acid molecules of higher biological complexity than that of amplified nucleic acid molecules in a complex environment containing numerous non-nucleic acid components. In particular, the present invention provides methods and probes for isolating DNA with detergents and detecting a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a complex sample that comprises numerous non-nucleic acid components and nucleic acid molecules of higher biological complexity than that of amplified nucleic acid molecules.
    Type: Application
