Objective
To improve gene mutation detection and screening in the clinical and research laboratories, the proposal aims at developing two fully automated molecular diagnostic systems based on high-throughput capillary electrophoresis (CE) and micro array biochips technology. These innovative systems will take advantage of:
(1) the use of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes in hybridisation reactions;
2) the implementation of a 96-capillary array electrophoresis device improved with novel CE coating and sieving matrices;
3) the building of an innovative automated micro array work- station with laser scanner and microscope-based imaging systems and software; and
4) the production of novel NIR-fluorescent dyes. These objectives will be achieved in combining the expertise, know-how, and resources of academic and industrial partners in a programmed fashion. This programme will result in the availability and, eventually, in the marketing of diagnostic systems that will make a measurable difference in research and clinical settings by delivering screening and diagnostic tests with high accuracy, reproducibility, reliability, and at a lower cost.
