Methods and devices for sequencing nucleic acids are disclosed herein. Devices are also provided herein for measuring DNA with nano-pores sized to allow DNA to pass through the nano-pore. The capacitance can be measured for the DNA molecule passing through the nano-pore. The capacitance measurements can be correlated to determine the sequence of base pairs passing through the nano-pore to sequence the DNA.
Optical Technique For Chemical And Biochemical Analysis
Xiomara L. MADERO - GLENDALE CA, US Erika F. GARCIA - LOS ANGELES CA, US Axel SCHERER - BARNARD VT, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/64
US Classification:
356432
Abstract:
Structures and methods are described for optical detection of physical, chemical and/or biological samples. An optical detection structure may include a LED source, multiple filters and single or multiple sample areas. A detector may be used to record a fluorescence signal. The sample area may allow the introduction of removable cartridges.

Assignee:
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - Pasadena CA
International Classification:
G01N 21/64
US Classification:
435 612, 4352872
Abstract:
Methods and algorithms for a multiplexed single detection channel amplification process and quantification of generated amplicons is presented. Various mathematical approaches for quantifying and verifying the amplicons in a reaction are presented. Usage of such methods and approaches allow upgrading of existing single and multiple channel instruments for further multiplexing capabilities.
