The study of proteins in biological systems requires a comprehensive approach: investigating dynamics, interaction and identification.This talk will examine several technological approaches we have developed to address these needs, including an optics-free integrated circuit-based microarray imager compatible with existing (optics-based) microarray protocols. By eliminating optics, and developing the reader using integrated circuit technology, the cost can be significantly reduced. We use this reader to detect a biotin-streptavidin interaction using standard microarray procedures. The reader is powered by a single sine wave, enabling a wireless interface. We will discuss the application of this platform to implantable applications and cell-based assays.
