  • MICROFLUIDIC INTEGRATION WITH NANOSENSOR PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20110275544
    Abstract: The present invention describes microfluidics being employed to achieve multiplex surface functionalization of nanosensor chips by selectively delivering probe molecules to individual nanosensors in an array, and microfluidics being employed to achieve delivery of a solution containing multiple analytes over individual nanosensors in an array, where each nanosensor was previously configured with a specific capture molecule.
