PCR, as polymerase chain reaction is known, was one step on the way to the current status of biochip technology. A Nobel-prize winning discovery, Kary Mullis’s polymerase chain reaction (PCR), first described in 1983, allowed researchers to amplify minute amounts of DNA to quantities where it could be detected by standard laboratory methods. A further [...]
Artificial intelligence as allowed by biochips is important in robotics engineering. A large amount of research and development has contributed to the rapid evolution of biochip technology. Combining semiconductor technology with molecular biology, biochips supplement electronic circuits with biological material. Composed of DNA, RNA or protein, a biochip holds these materials to the surface of [...]
Biotechnology took a dramatic turn In the 1980’s following the invention of the DNA sequencing approach in 19080 and the discovery of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983. Biochips emerged as a novel micro technology platform for analysis of bio-molecules. This has culminated in a lively biochip industry with biotechnology company Amersham at the forefront. [...]
