Publication number: 20140329720Abstract: The application describes a biosensor system to measure the presence of single molecules of interest or multiple molecules simultaneously in aqueous solutions without the need for trained personnel or dedicated laboratory space. The system uses a lab-on-a-chip platform to contain and manipulate a biosensor component that, through a series of controlled steps, converts the presence of each of the molecule/s of interest into a unique nucleic acid identifier designated by a specific sequence. The generation of the unique nucleic acid identifier is strictly correlated with the presence of the molecule of interest. The platform contains: multiple, sequential, interconnected chambers; transformer coils that induce magnetic fields; the potential for various electric fields; thermal controls; electronics for measurements; and power control.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: Triune IP LLCInventors: Ross E.
