Publication number: 20100072067Abstract: Provided is a method for screening a biological molecule rapidly and economically with high-throughput using microbeads encoded with silver nanoparticles and a chemical compound and dielectrophoresis. A biological screening method particularly utilizes microbeads encoded with silver nanoparticles and a specific chemical compound and dielectrophoresis. Since this screening method does not use a fluorescent material and a dying agent, which are typically used in the conventional screening method, it is non-toxic and economical. Also, this screening method allows simultaneous identification of many target materials. Accordingly, a leading compound can be screened within a short period of time, and thus, this screening method can be implemented as an economical and effective system for developing new pharmaceutical products.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2006Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: Seoul National Univeristy Industry FoundationInventors: Yoon-Sik Lee, Yong-Kweon Kim, Dae-Hong Jeong, Jong-Ho Kim, Min-Soo Kim, Hee-Jeong Choi, Bong-Hyun Jun
