20090035759 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A SINGLE TARGET NUCLEIC ACID IN A SAMPLE - A method comprises loading a sample portion into a sample chamber which comprises means for minimizing diffusion of the sample portion, subjecting the sample portion to an amplification step, and determining whether the sample portion contains at least one molecule of a target nucleic acid. If the sample portion contains a single molecule of the target nucleic acid, the sample portion would attain a detectable concentration of the target nucleic acid after a single round of amplification. Also, a microfluidic device comprising a sample portion and a sample chamber comprising means for minimizing diffusion of the sample portion. Also, a microfluidic device comprising a sample chamber and an amplification targeting reagent positioned in the first sample chamber. | 02-05-2009 |
20080213766 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A SINGLE TARGET NUCLEIC ACID IN SAMPLES - A method comprising for each individual sample of a plurality of samples, loading at least one sample portion of the individual sample into at least one respective sample chamber of a plurality of sample chambers, subjecting the sample portions to at least a first amplification step; and then determining whether sample portions contain at least one molecule of the target nucleic acid. For each sample portion, if the sample portion contains at least a single molecule of the target nucleic acid, the sample portion would attain a detectable concentration of the target nucleic acid after a single round of amplification. | 09-04-2008 |
