Summary on Grant Application Form |
Microencapsulation technology, developed by one of the applicants (G.S.), is well placed to allow selective, tunable exposure to the sample matrix. With permeable polyelectrolyte capsule walls, it is possible to provide selective bioreagent access for affinity reactions, lyse capsules using appropriate wavelength radiation and to follow entrapped lengths as qualified entities either in bulk sample or at a surface (arrays).The above technological opportunity will be refined, and refrocussed in terms of end user needs and newly available technical skills. The latter will be targeted through a high profile workshop to attract wide scientific input.
