PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-spot metal-deposited nucleic acid chip with nanostructure arrays for diagnosing corneal dystrophy, and to provide a method for diagnosing the corneal dystrophy.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to: a multi-spot metal-deposited nucleic acid chip with nanostructure arrays which uses the optical characteristics of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR); a method for producing the chip; and a multi-spot metal-deposited nucleic acid chip with the nanostructure arrays for diagnosing the corneal dystrophy for diagnosing BIGH3 gene mutations, which can diagnose various types of corneal dystrophies. The metal-deposited nucleic acid chip with the nanostructure arrays, and an analysis device including a light source, a detector, a spectrophotometer and a computer are combined to be used as a label-free optical biosensor based on the optical characteristics of LSPR; and a method for diagnosing the corneal dystrophy is provided by using the multi-spot metal-deposited nucleic acid chip with the nanostructure arrays for diagnosing the corneal dystrophy for diagnosing BIGH3 gene mutations.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for the fabrication of microscale, including micron and sub-micron scale, including nanoscale, devices. Electronic transport of movable component devices is utilized through a fluidic medium to effect transport to a desired target location on a substrate or motherboard. Forces include electrophoretic force, electroosmotic force, electrostatic force and/or dielectrophoretic force. In the preferred embodiment, free field electroosmotic forces are utilized either alone, or in conjunction with, other forces. These forces may be used singly or in combination, as well as in conjunction with yet other forces, such as fluidic forces, mechanical forces or thermal convective forces. Transport may be effected through the use of driving electrodes so as to transport the component device to yet other connection electrodes. In certain embodiments, the component devices may be attached to the target device using a solder reflow step.
