Title:
SELF-ADDRESSABLE AND SELF-ASSEMBLING MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR MOLECULAR BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSTICS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007020568
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a design, fabrication and use of a self-addressable and self-assembling microelectronic system capable of positively carrying out multiple steps and multiplex reactions in microscopic formats.

A self-addressable, self-assembling microelectronic device is designed and fabricated to actively carry out and control multi-step and multiplex molecular biological reactions in microscopic formats. These reactions include nucleic acid hybridizations, antibody/antigen reactions, diagnostics, and biopolymer synthesis. The device can electronically control the transport and attachment of specific binding entities to addressed specific micro-locations. The device is able to concentrate analytes and reactants, remove non-specifically bound molecules, provide stringency control for DNA hybridization reactions, and improve the detection of analytes. The device can be electronically replicated.
