METU faculty member Professor. Dr. Huseyin Avni Oktem and his team, hundreds of medical analysis, which allows a single test on the 'DNA chips' developed.

ANKARA - The first products in the commercial launch of this year, the targeted DNA chips, 100 percent of the indigenous knowledge and labor kulanılarak produced. The first DNA chips are produced in Turkey in the near future, many of the disease rather than a laboratory not exceeding the size of a business card or 1 worth of coins that will allow making the chips.
METU Technopolis NANObiz company operating under the co-founder and R & D Coordinator, Middle East Technical University faculty member Professor. Dr. Huseyin Avni Oktem, told AA correspondent, on the basis of individual differences in DNA sequences in genomes showed told.
These differences and similarities in diagnostic and detection system using the original voicing oluşturulabildiğini Oktem, Even if one is aware of this feature of DNA yararlanıldığını often said that in daily life.
Oktem, blood and urine samples of micro-organisms, pathogens harmful to human health, food products, food products with GMO detection paternity tests, the presence of mutations that can lead to cancer, and DNA is similar in many areas of this property, benefiting from the results achieved in different applications, said the laboratory.
DNA chips, a small number on a surface of up to tens of thousands of different gene sequences have been immobilized at certain points that the transmitting systems Oktem, DNA chips of glass slides, silicon or nylon membranes are used as said surface.
Development of technology of DNA-based diagnostic and detection systems will also become faster and faster results point out that the Oktem, it said it was the most beautiful samples of DNA chips.
-CHANGED-Chips imaging SYSTEMS
Prof. Dr. Oktem, METU Teknokent'teki teams, DNA-based chip technologies, imaging systems, differences exist in the world who carry out a reported R & D activities.Software teams work ranging from DNA chips will be conducted electronically on the evening Oktem, "This technology necessary for the glass slides, and eletktronik circuit cards, macro-fluid heating-cooling systems to software sistemlereve all productions made by our company," he said.
Passed the prototype phase of the work of all runs, indicating that the continued phase of a commercial product Oktem, gave the following information: "At the moment the DNA chips produced working prototypes. Many of patents and utility models will continue to be taken. So far, TUBITAK-TEYDEB, Turkey Technology Development Foundation (TTGV ), Ministry of Science, Technology and Industry, 7 R & D project support funds, such as EUREKA aldı.Günümüzde DNA chips, a very large company in the world in both academic and commercial works on the field. that is a very different product in the U.S. Market value of 5 billion dollars in the coming years showing geçeği. We have been informed of the platform prototype and the only company in this field work in Turkey. Not only in Turkey, are trying to develop globally competitive products. "
DNA chips, DNA analysis to be conducted on blood or any tissue could be pointing to the detection of all genetic diseases including cancer and Oktem, also from military to the food industry in a very very fast, portable diagnostic systems could be developed veplatformlarının said.Oktem international patent application that did the work, said: "DNA chips and other high-tech area of ​​a chip-on-lab systems. These systems normally require costly and extensive laboratory infrastructure, diagnostic and laboratory work rather than identify a business card, and exceeding even the $ 1 coin the size of the chips provide allows for on the chip.-on-lab systems without having to go through in the near future laboratory analysis of urine and blood samples, determination of whether these are healthy food items (such as GMO determine whether the içermediklerinin), drinking detection of harmful bacteria in the water, such as whether the tests are normally in the home environment for long periods or short periods of time arazideoldukça will be able to do. this kind of highly integrated systems that require high technology and know-how in R & D labortuvarlarında NANObiz 100 percent by using local knowledge and state of the labor currently produced and investigated. This year we aim in launching the first products. " (Mm)
