Improved BioCD Detects Molecular Structures in Samples
Researchers at Purdue University have developed an improved BioCD technology that allows for very accurate and fast scans of biological binding sites. This technology makes possible a simple disk fabrication for spinning-disk immunoassays. It also establishes a common global quadrature for the entire disk, as opposed to each array element establishing its own quadrature condition. This will greatly facilitate disk fabrication with little or no effect of fabrication on the read fidelity. The system also has 100 percent light detection efficiency and automatic compensation of laser intensity drift. It can be implemented with differential encoding that directly subtracts out non-specific binding.
