Title: Karolin Spitzer and an Extracellular DNA Enrichment Method

Introduction

Karolin Spitzer is an inventor associated with Hilden, Germany, and Qiagen GmbH. Her patent work concerns methods for separating extracellular DNA from biological samples while retaining extracellular vesicles for potential further processing.

Latest Patents

Spitzer is associated with 1 patent, titled “Enrichment method.” The invention describes preparing a binding mixture containing a biological sample, a solid phase with anion-exchange groups, and an acidic binding buffer. Extracellular DNA binds to the solid phase, which is then separated from the remaining mixture containing extracellular vesicles. The method may also process that remaining mixture to enrich biological targets, including extracellular vesicles and extracellular RNA.
