  • MICRONEEDLE DEVICES AND METHODS, AND SKIN CONDITION ASSAYS
    Publication number: 20230383352
    Abstract: The invention is directed to reliable and efficient detection of mRNAs as well as other RNAs in living cells and its use to identify and, if desired, separate cells based on their desired characteristics Such methods greatly simplify and reduce the time necessary to carry out previously-known procedures, and offers new approaches as well, such as selecting cells that generate a particular protein or antisense oligonucleotide, generating cell lines that express multiple proteins, generating cell lines with knock-out of one or more protein, and others.

  • Electrocatalytic nucleic acid hybridization detection
    Patent number: 7741033
    Abstract: The detection of specific nucleic acid sequences using electrochemical readout would permit the rapid and inexpensive detection and identification of bacterial pathogens and the analysis of human genes. A new assay developed for this purpose is described that harnesses an electrocatalytic process to monitor nucleic acid hybridization. Furthermore, the new assay when used on nanoscale electrodes, provides ultrasensitive detection of nucleic acids.
