ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,766,517, issued on Oct. 20, was assigned to Nanobiosym Inc..

"Nano-PCR: methods and devices for nucleic acid amplification and detection" was invented by Anita Goel (Boston).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods, devices, and compositions are described that provide for amplification of nucleic acid sequences without reliance upon temperature cycling, thus freeing the methods from conventional benchtop thermal cycling devices. Denaturation of double stranded nucleic acids, primer annealing, and precision control over primer extension by polymerase can be accomplished by applying stress to a nucleic acid. These methods can provide one or m...
