Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for surface functionalization of solid substrates. The compositions include functionalized silanes and nucleic acid constructs which may react to immobilize the nucleic acid constructs on the surface on the solid substrate. The disclosure also provides methods for immobilization of silanes and nucleic acid constructs on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for detecting a presence of a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleic acid sequence. Detection of cyclic single base extension can be used to detect a nucleic acid molecule hybridized to a probe and detect a presence of a nucleic acid. The methods disclosed herein can detect a nucleic acid molecule present in a nucleic acid sample at low concentrations and in the presence of background nucleic acids having high sequence similarity.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, apparatus and systems for time-gated fluorescent-based detection. Time-based fluorescence analysis can be used in certain biochemical assays by measuring the emitted photon flux from fluorophores after an individual excitation pulse.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and devices for simultaneous identification of a plurality of target nucleic acid sequences in a single sample chamber that includes an addressable array of nucleic acid probes attached to a solid surface. Addressable signals can be generated and measured, in real-time, upon hybridization of target sequences at the individual probe locations within the array while the temperature of the system is varied. Such generated signals, as a function temperature, can then be used to compute the properties of nucleic acid hybridization at each addressable location which is ultimately utilized to estimate the sequence of the target nucleic acids. In particular, an integrated semiconductor biosensor array device can be used to measure the addressable signals.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices and systems that enable simultaneous multiplexing amplification reaction and real-time detection in a single reaction chamber.
