3. 2. DNA chips with conjugated polyelectrolytes as fluorophore in fluorescence amplification mode

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Karin Magnusson; [2008]
   Keywords : Soft lithography; conjugated polyelectrolyte CPE ; DNA-chip; fluorescence microscope; Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer FRET ;

   Abstract : The aim of this diploma work is to improve selectivity and sensitivity in DNA-chips by utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) and fluorophores. Leclerc and co-workers have presented successful results from studies of super FRET between fluorophore tagged DNA and a CPE during hybridisation of the double strand. READ MORE
