Title:
OPTICAL BIO-DISCS AND METHODS RELATING THERETO
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002051537
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An optical bio-disc that may be used to test a sample for a target nucleic acid of a prescribed sequence is described. The bio-disc includes a flow channel having target or capture zones, a return channel in fluid communication therewith, and in some embodiments a mixing chamber in fluid comminication with the flow channel. The bio-disc may be implemented on an optical disc including an information encoding format such as CD, CD-R, or DVD or a modified version thereof. Methods of manufacturing the optical bio-disc and methods of using the optical bio-disc to detect nucleic acids according to the present invention are also provided.
