MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202648059688 A) filed by Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. on May 11, 2026, for Representative Diagnostics.
Inventors include Alexander, Nelson; Barhoumi, Aoune; Day, Melinda; Gallegos, Lisa; Leith, Katherine; Rajkovich, Samantha Number; Roberts, Esteban; Stanislaw, Stacey; and Walk, Eric Filed On.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to the preparation of representative samples from clinical samples, e.g., tumors (whole or in part), lymph nodes, metastases, cysts, polyps, or a combination or portion thereof, using mechanical and/or biochemical dissociation methods to homogenize intact samples or large portions thereof. The resulting homogenate provides the ability to obtain a correct representative sample despite spatial heterogeneity within the 10 sample, increasing detection likelihood of low prevalence subclones, and is suitable for use in various diagnostic assays as well as the production of therapeutics, especially "personalized" anti-tumor vaccines or immune cell based therapies.
