Abstract
A DNA intercalator detection system can include a filtration unit a control sample conditioner operably coupled with the filtration unit and an analytic unit operably coupled with the filtration unit and control sample conditioner and having an electronic chemical array (ECA) reaction component. A data processing unit is operably coupled with the analytic unit and configured to compare and determine a difference between electronic data of a test sample and a conditioned control sample from the ECA reaction component. The difference provides an indication of whether or not a DNA intercalator is present in the test sample.
Claims20
A DNA intercalator detection system, the system comprising:
- a control sample conditioner unit configured to receive a control sample and to remove one or more DNA intercalators from the control sample so as to produce a conditioned control sample;
- an analytic unit having a first inlet fluidly coupled to the control sample conditioner unit and configured to receive the conditioned control sample and a second inlet configured to receive a test sample, wherein the analytic unit has one or more electronic chemical arrays configured to assay the test sample and configured to assay the conditioned control sample;
- and
- a data processing unit operably coupled with the analytic unit and configured to compare and to determine a difference between an electronic current of the test sample with an electronic current of the conditioned control sample from the analytic unit, said difference providing an indication of whether or not a DNA intercalator is present in the test sample.
