  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR BIOCHIP MULTIPLEXING
    Publication number: 20100028984
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of analyzing a plurality of biochips. In particular, the method includes inserting a first biochip in to a first station of an analysis device, inserting a second biochip into a second station of the analysis device, wherein each of the first and second biochips comprise a substrate that includes an array of detection electrodes, each including a different capture binding ligand, a different target analyte, and a label, and a plurality of electrical contacts, detecting current as an indication of the presence of the labels on the first biochip and detecting current as an indication of the presence of the labels on the second biochip.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 17, 2007
    Publication date: February 4, 2010
    Inventors: Hau H. DUONG, Gary Blackburn, Jon F. Kayyem, Stephen D. O'Connor, Gary T. Olsen, Robert Pietri, Robert H. Terbrueggen
  • Devices and methods for biochip multiplexing
    Patent number: 7312087
    Abstract: The invention is directed to devices and methods that allow for simultaneous multiple biochip analysis. The method of analyzing the plurality of biochips includes inserting a first biochp into a first station of an analysis device, inserting a second biochip into a second station of the analysis device, wherein each of the first and second biochips include a substrate, the substrates including an array of detection electrodes, each electrode including a different capture binding ligand, a different target analyte, and a label, and a plurality of electrical contracts, detecting current as an indication of the presence of the labels on the first biochip, and detecting current as an indication of the presence of the labels on the first second biochip. The devices and method may be used with multiple cartridges comprising biochips comprising arrays, such as nucleic acid arrays, and allow for high throughput analysis of samples.
