  • Method and system for nucleic acid detection using electroconductive or electrochemically active labels
    Patent number: 8975025
    Abstract: A method for electrochemically or electrically detecting nucleic acids, utilizes electrochemically active or electrically conductive reporter materials. An electric voltage is applied and electric signals are measured to the electrodes that are suitable for detecting or quantifying the nucleic acid(s) in a sample. This technique is suitable for point-of-use applications, e.g. detecting bioanalytes in remote locations. A microchip, device, kit used adapted to be used for this method is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 10, 2015
    Assignee: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
    Inventors: I Ming Hsing, Ming Hung Thomas Lee, Xiaoteng Luo
  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING REAL-TIME POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) UTILIZING ELECTRO-ACTIVE HYDROLYSIS PROBE (E-TAG PROBE)
    Publication number: 20140045190
    Abstract: A method for real-time electrochemical monitoring of PCR amplicons using a hydrolysis probe that is labeled with electro-active indicators and a microchip for implementing the method. The method provided is simpler and has higher specificity compared with the prior art. The electrochemical signal measured during the PCR process can be used to determine the initial amount of the target DNA. This technique can be applied in detection and quantification of nucleic acids, especially for point-of-use applications such as on-site nucleic acid-based bio-analysis.
