Integrated Circuit Optical Detector for Biological Detection一種基于集成電路影像技術和納米不透光顆粒的DNA檢查方法
Conventionally, DNA micro-array based detection systems rely on fluorescence or radioactive methods to discriminate matched and unmatched DNA samples for a given testing probe. These detection methods require expensive external equipment such as UV light source microscope. In addition, the fluorescence and radioactive signal intensity degrade with time and cause large variation in the sampled data.
A new optical DNA detection method using nano-metallic particles and IC imaging chips is now invented. With IC image sensor array and opaque particles, ordinary light is blocked from being detected by the optical sensor. By using this method, no UV light source is required and the result can be directly shown by an output device (such as an LCD display) without human judgment required. This process provides not only a relatively cheaper detection method but also a higher detection sensitivity method.
Moreover, this invention can detect DNA array using IC image sensor without the need of color filter. This can help miniaturization in the development of DNA detection schemes.
1. Manufacturable by standard CMOS process offered by common silicon foundries
2. Higher sensitivity and higher density detection system made possible
3. Lower manufacturing cost as expensive and bulky optical equipment are not needed
4. More automated than existing DNA micro-arrays
5. More advanced signal processing technique has been used to perform noise reduction, signal
amplification and background rejection
