Fields of application
Dynamic biochips and surface plasmon imagery

The fields of application for dynamic biochips are vast and varied. They range from pharmacology and medicine to defense, the environment and agri-food. .

In the field of medicine itself, the fields are vast, ranging from the study of DNA:DNA interactions to DNA:proteins. , proteins:proteins via antigens:antibodies or enzyme:substrate. The new system configuration for surface plasmon resonance imaging has made microarray systems increasingly suitable for the parallel analysis of a very large number of molecules, saving valuable time and products.

Generally speaking, the principle of biomolecule recognition used for DNA:DNA, DNA:protein, antibody:antigen interactions, etc. is based on the ability to differentiate between two or more signals from totally complementary interactions and quasi-complementary interactions, taking as a witness a third signal that is supposed to remain inert....
