Label-free DNA biosensors based on functionalized carbon nanotube field effect transistors.

چکیده
A carbon nanotube transistor array was used to detect DNA hybridization. A new approach to ensure specific adsorption of DNA to the nanotubes was developed. The polymer poly (methylmethacrylate(0.6)-co-poly(ethyleneglycol)methacrylate(0.15)-co-N-succinimidyl methacrylate(0.25)) was synthesized and bonded noncovalently to the nanotube. Aminated single-strand DNA was then attached covalently to the polymer. After hybridization, statistically significant changes were observed in key transistor parameters. Hybridized DNA traps both electrons and holes, possibly caused by the charge-trapping nature of the base pairs.

We have fabricated label-free protein biosensors based on aptamer-modified carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) to detect immunoglobulin E (IgE). Since aptamers are artificial oligonucleotides, the aptamers are smaller in size than the Debye length. Therefore, the biosensors are expected to detect IgE with high sensitivity. After the 5’amino modified aptamers were covalently immob...
