NanoChip® Technology

CombiMatrix Corporation (USA)

NanoChip® microarray technology provides an open platform that allows customers to easily run common assays as well as customize their own assays.
Applying a positive electric current to individual test sties on the microarray enables rapid movement and concentration of negatively charged DNA and RNA molecules. Nanogen’s technology involves electronically addressing biotinylated samples, hybridizing complementary DNA reporter probes and applying stringency to remove un-bound and nonspecifically-bound strands after hybridization.
