  • Mid-infrared imaging of microarrays
    Patent number: 9279770
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for mid-infrared imaging of nucleic acid microarrays by employing mid-infrared reflective labels combined with detection in the reflection mode. The methods described herein provide intrinsic image contrast, and permit detection of DNA microarray hybridization on infrared absorbing substrates such as glass slides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2016
    Assignee: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
    Inventors: Magdi M. Mossoba, Sufian Al-Khaldi, Brianna Schoen, Betsy Jean Yakes
