  • DETECTION OF DNA HYBRIDIZATION ON SURFACES
    Publication number: 20080268546
    Abstract: A DNA hybridization surface includes a support having a self assembled monolayer on a metallized surface. The self assembled monolayer includes an alkanethiol and a strand of nucleic acids comprising a functional group that binds to the metallized surface. A method for detecting DNA hybridization in a sample includes (a) incubating a DNA hybridization surface with an aqueous sample that includes a fragment of DNA to produce an incubated DNA hybridization surface; (b) rinsing the incubated DNA hybridization surface to produce a rinsed incubated DNA hybridization surface; (c) contacting the rinsed incubated DNA hybridization surface with a liquid crystal; and (d) determining whether the liquid crystal is uniformly anchored on the rinsed incubated DNA hybridization surface.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 15, 2008
    Publication date: October 30, 2008
    Inventors: Nicholas L. Abbott, Jeffrey M. Brake, Pritipal S. Bhinder
