We demonstrate a snap chip technology for performing cross-reactivity-free multiplexed sandwich immunoassays by simply snapping two slides. A snap apparatus is used for reliably transferring reagents from microarray-to-microarray. The snap chip can be used for any biochemical reactions requiring colocalization of different reagents without cross-contamination.

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

2020
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...
FAQs
The two-probe arrangement increases sequence selectivity because detection depends on complementary binding at two regions of the same DNA or RNA target. A capture probe positions the target on a solid surface, while a labeled probe confirms binding at a second site. This paired recognition helps distinguish the intended sequence and produces a signal linked to target abundance.
The immobilized probe provides physical retention of the target, allowing the assay to organize molecular recognition on a solid surface. The second probe supplies the detectable label after binding another complementary region. Separating capture from signal generation makes the design modular, so probe sequences and detection platforms can be adapted for different nucleic acid targets.
Complementary base pairing is the central determinant of selectivity. Probe sequences must recognize appropriate regions of the target so that both binding events support formation of the intended probe–target–probe complex. Target sequence choice therefore affects which DNA or RNA molecules are detected, while the label and signal platform determine how that recognition becomes measurable.
A typical workflow begins by immobilizing the capture probe on a solid surface, followed by introducing the DNA or RNA sample so a matching target can bind. The labeled probe is then provided to recognize a second target region. Finally, the label generates a measurable signal, which is interpreted in relation to the target present.
Its modular structure allows researchers to change the probe sequences while retaining the general capture-and-detection strategy. Signal generation can also be paired with different detection platforms. This flexibility supports sequence-specific biosensors, diagnostic assays, and molecular analysis, where the desired target sequence and readout method may vary across bioengineering designs.
The assay produces a signal that is proportional to the amount of target nucleic acid present, allowing detection to be connected with target abundance. Because recognition depends on complementary sequences, the result also carries sequence-specific information. In bioengineering, these combined features support analysis of selected DNA or RNA targets in sensor and diagnostic formats.
