Multichannel potentiostat for developing multiplex electronic biosensors capable of simultaneous detection of blood-borne cancer markers

多通道恒电位器的资助将使我们能够获得一种仪器，我们认为这对于我们在西蒙弗雷泽大学（SFU）分子诊断领域卓有成效的跨学科研究的持续成功至关重要。多通道恒电位器能够在电极阵列或微电极组上执行许多电化学/固态电测量。在SFU，该仪器将成为开发高灵敏度和鉴别性DNA开关多重生物传感器（脱氧核糖传感器）的不可或缺的工具，用于生物医学分析物的电子检测——这是化学系Yu博士和分子生物学和生物化学系Sen博士共同研究的中心主题。

The funding of a multichannel potentiostat will allow us to acquire an instrument that we consider essential for the ongoing success of our fruitful interdisciplinary research in molecular diagnostics at Simon Fraser University (SFU). A multichannel potentiostat is capable of performing a number of electrochemical / solid-state electrical measurements on electrode arrays or microelectrode sets. At SFU, this instrument will be an indispensable tool for the development of highly sensitive and discriminating DNA switch-based multiplex biosensors (deoxyribosensors) for the electronic detection of biomedical analytes -- a central theme in the joint research efforts of Dr. Yu in the Department of Chemistry and Dr. Sen in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry.
