Inventor(s) include Santiago, Juan G.; Ma, Kunlin; Paul, Soumyadeep; Darvish, Armin; and Lang, Christoph.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Systems and methods for trapping and detecting a polynucleotide strand in a channel. Methods may include labeling at least one subsequence within a polynucleotide strand to obtain a labeled polynucleotide strand having at least one label. Methods may additionally include providing a polymer to a surface of a channel and physically interacting the polymer with the surface of the channel. 10 Methods may also include providing a sample including the labeled polynucleotide strand to the channel, applying an electric field to the labeled polynucleotide strand to promote a physical interaction between the labeled polynucleotide strand and the polymer at the surface of the channel to trap the labeled polynucleotide strand at the surface of the channel, and detecting the at least one label within the labeled 15 polynucleotide strand."
