The Zyomyx Approach Biochip Design Zyomyx is developing technologies which close the gap between protein biochemistry and microfabricated devices resulting in a broad variety of miniaturized, protein biochip architectures and BioMEMS devices containing fully functional proteins. The development of a novel biochip reader is also a fundamental component of the Zyomyx protein biochip platform.
Application defines detection and detection defines chip architecture and materials.
High-density biochips designed for a variety of analyses require a spectrum of detection devices. Zyomyx is concentrating on fluorescence, and novel label-independent detections systems, as well as, mass spectrometric, and sophisticated electronic detection systems. Protein Biochip Applications Zyomyx believes that their core technology platform can be used to develop protein biochips to innovate many facets of protein characterization. These biochips will be differentiated by architecture, the types of proteins immobilized on the surface and the detection system. Zyomyx biochips will have a profound impact on the biological sciences.
