Seeman says that the creation of this device enhances his earlier work-a single nanorobotic arm he completed in 2006, marking the first time any scientist had been able to employ a functional nanotechnology device within a DNA array.
The technology is similar to DNA arrays in that molecules are tethered to a surface and hybridize with the sample.
The assay combines the specificity obtained by enzymatically labeling DNA probes with the potential for detecting several targets simultaneously by using DNA array hybridization.
