Research abstract
The NIH calls for the development of a new detector for applications in molecular biology and genomDevelopment of more sensitive assays, miniaturized formats and multiplexing capabilities are the goafor specific adaptation to the demands of DNA diagnostics. This application address a few outstandindemonstrate that these instruments are applicable in clinical practice. Specifically, we will develofor detecting biomedically important macromolecules. This new detection technique can be used to quazeptomole (< 10[-21] M) quantities of large molecules such as the fragments of DNA, RNA and large prthis technique may be used to develop super-sensitive diagnostic tests using both immunotechniques,DNA probes. Applications in the detection of a plurality of important diseases are expected.
