miR-122 direct detection in human serum by time-gated fluorescence imaging

Citation: Chem. Commun., 2019, 55, 14958-14961 Abstract A simple method for direct detection of microRNAs (miRs) in human serum without the use of polymerase amplification is presented, achieving low miR-122 concentrations and importantly, discerning effectively single-base sequence mutations. The method is based on the capture of target miRs with synthetic peptide nucleic acid oligomers, dynamic chemical labelling,…

Novel Biochip Platform for Nucleic Acid Analysis

Citation Sensors, 2012, 12, 8100-8111. Abstract This manuscript describes the use of a novel biochip platform for the rapid analysis/identification of nucleic acids, including DNA and microRNAs, with very high specificity. This approach combines a unique dynamic chemistry approach for nucleic acid testing and analysis developed by DestiNA Genomics with the STMicroelectronics In-Check platform, which comprises two microfluidic optimized…
