Increasing the detection speed of an all-electronic real-time biosensor.

چکیده
Biosensor response time, which depends sensitively on the transport of biomolecules to the sensor surface, is a critical concern for future biosensor applications. We have fabricated carbon nanotube field-effect transistor biosensors and quantified protein binding rates onto these nanoelectronic sensors. Using this experimental platform we test the effectiveness of a protein repellent coating designed to enhance protein flux to the all-electronic real-time biosensor. We observe a 2.5-fold increase in the initial protein flux to the sensor when upstream binding sites are blocked. Mass transport modelling is used to calculate the maximal flux enhancement that is possible with this strategy. Our results demonstrate a new methodology for characterizing nanoelectronic biosensor performance, and demonstrate a mass transport optimization strategy that is applicable to a wide range of microfluidic based biosensors.

Designing a Label Free Aptasensor for Detection of Methamphetamine
A label-free electrochemical nucleic acid aptasensor for the detection of methamphetamine (MA) by the immobilization of thiolated self-assembled DNA sequences on a gold nanoparticles-chitosan modified electrode is constructed. When MA was complexed specifically to the aptamer, the configuration of the nucleic acid aptamer switched to a locked structure and the interface of the biosensor changed...

Organophosphorus (OP) forms an important class of toxic compounds. They inhibit acetyl cholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) that results in respiratory and myocardial malfunctions. Pesticides could be accumulated in vegetables and fruits, so detection of them is very important. The goals of this study are decreasing detection time and detection limit of methyl parathion bioprobe. In this research ...
