  • Versatile substrate for SPR detection
    Patent number: 7939345
    Abstract: A substrate for testing a carrier liquid for biomolecules using SPR or other techniques provides a metallic island surrounded by a hydrophobic layer, the islands being a location for the attachment of probe molecules. The hydrophobic layer may also be a dielectric material providing improved sensitivity in SPR imaging.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2011
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Alastair William Wark, Hye Jin Lee, Robert Marcus Corn, Voula Kodoyianni

  • Methods for analysis of a nucleic acid sample
    Publication number: 20060211024
    Abstract: An assay for analysis of a nucleic acid sample is provided. In one embodiment, the assay includes: a) employing an RNA sample to obtain a DNA probe; b) contacting the DNA probe with a substrate containing a surface-immobilized RNA oligonucleotide to produce a surface-immobilized RNA/DNA duplex; and c) detecting RNAseH-dependent cleavage of the surface-immobilized RNA oligonucleotide in the RNA/DNA duplex.
