Abstract

Grant Number:	1R43GM59010-01
PI Name:	HANG, JIM
PI Title:	Chairman & CEO
Project Title:	GLASS BASED BIOCHIP AND OPTICAL DETECTOR

Abstract: New Dimension Research and Instrument (NDR), proposes to make a glass-based BioChip system, a unique platform for acquiring, analyzing and managing complex genetic information. This innovative glass-based DNA gene chip, and its associated gene chip reader are able to real-time monitor DNA hybridization by using our proprietary molecular beacon dye and a matrix-addressable electrical field for precise control of chemical reactions. The glass-based BioChip uses a self-addressable, self-assembling micro-electronic system, which can actively carry out and control multi-step and multiplex reactions in microscopic formats.
