Draper ’ s demonstrated expe- rience in functionalizing glass substrates and printing com- pact , high-density DNA arrays will directly inform the develop- ment path to scale Mammoth ’ s DETECTRTM chemistry to 1,000-plex via a microarray of Cas / gRNA complexes .
Each Cas / gRNA complex is de- signed to detect a unique pathogen .
The MMD will also use a new approach to optical detection through development of a miniaturized , simple , lens- free system that has no mov- ing parts , making it attractive for field deployment .
Reconfiguration of the microar- ray will be enabled by print- ing array chips with new Cas / gRNA complexes , a process ex- pected to take 24 hours or less .
