New Electrostatic-based DNA Microarray Technique Could Revolutionize Medical Diagnostics

Monday, June 30, 2008 - 22:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have invented a technique in which DNA assays -- the key to personalized medicine -- can be read and evaluated with no need of elaborate chemical labeling or sophisticated instrumentation. Based on electrostatic repulsion that yields images visible to the naked eye, the technique could revolutionize the use of DNA microarrays for both research and diagnostics.
