摘要:
A method of making a nanofluidic device is carried out by providing a thermoplastic substrate having a top surface portion, the top surface portion having at least one nanofluidic feature formed therein; providing a thermoplastic cover having a bottom surface portion, the thermoplastic cover having a glass transition temperature less than that of the substrate; optionally activating one or both of the thermoplastic substrate top surface portion and the thermoplastic cover bottom surface portion; and then thermally bonding the thermoplastic cover top surface portion to the thermoplastic cover bottom surface portion to produce the nanofluidic device.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a device that comprises a biomolecular processor and one or more nanotubes. Each biomolecular processor comprises a bioreactor chamber defined by a solid substrate, a plurality of spaced support structures within said bioreactor chamber and attached to the solid substrate, and one or more capture molecules immobilized to some or all of said plurality of spaced support structures, said one or more capture molecules suitable to bind to a portion of a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample. The device also comprises one or more nanotubes defined by the solid substrate and fluidically coupled to the bioreactor chamber.
摘要:
The present invention is directed methods for identifying, in a sample, one or more target nucleotide sequences differing from other nucleotide sequences in the sample by one or more nucleotides, one or more copy numbers, one or more transcript sequences, and/or one or more methylated residues, using ligation detection reactions, polymerase mediated extension reactions, and/or cleavage reactions. The present invention is also directed to methods for identifying, in a sample, one or more nucleotides in a target nucleotide sequence.
