Patent number: 11866775Abstract: The present method of detection involves increasing an amount of analyte molecules by an isothermal molecular amplification approach. In the present approach a starting molecule of interest may be amplified through a reaction it induces with specifically engineered and functionalized particles, namely protected particles A and storage particles B. This reaction may result in a set of output DNA molecules that is larger in number than the input DNA molecules. Thus the reaction between nanoparticles for amplification of a certain DNA sequence (input DNA molecules) may occur when there is a match with a targeted molecule (stored molecules on storage particles B) and if the DNA sequence of the input DNA molecules does not match (partially or completely) the targeted molecule the reaction may not occur. Without a certain molecular input of the input DNA molecule the reaction may not occur.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Brookhaven Science Associates, LLCInventors: Oleg Gang, Suchetan Pal
