Biotechnology And The Development of the Biochip Industry

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. [...]

DNA Analysis Using Bioarrays

  DNA analysis has benefited from advances in bioarray technology. Bioarrays are similar to electronic memory, storing known information for comparison to unknown data for identification. They have emerged as the fastest and most efficient DNA analysis technique, giving researchers the ability to perform up to 10,000 DNA tests, and more, at one time on a [...]
