Abstract

We describe an optically programmable bead array assembly process and its efficient implementation. Invoking our core technology of light-controlled electrokinetic assembly of particles near surfaces, this process enables the on-demand assembly and real-time manipulation of planar arrays of microparticles (`beads') within a small reaction chamber in response to electric fields and in accordance with computer- generated patterns of illumination. We are integrating this array fabrication process with proprietary microfluidics and image acquisition in a palmtop bioanalytical microlab to provide a general-purpose platform for a highly parallel assay format in which tens to thousands of biochemical tests (`assays') can be performed simultaneously on the surface of a semiconductor chip. Applications include the quantitative analysis of protein-protein interactions and DNA hybridization as well as cellular analysis.
