Sol–gel films for DNA microarray applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sol–gel derived (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane–tetramethoxysilane ((CH3O)3SiCH2CH2CH2NH2–Si(OCH3)4) hybrid films are shown to have properties that make the films suitable for DNA microarray applications. The essential characteristics of the films are discussed on the basis of binding of aminated 25-mer oligonucleotide DNA to the films via 1,4-phenylenediisothiocyanate linkering. The binding of DNA onto the films is shown to depend on films' composition having an optimum where the binding is substantially superior compared to commercial analogues. The relevant properties of the films are characterized by AFM, FTIR and MALDI-TOF MS measurements. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملDesigning and Fabrication of Electrochromic Windows Using Tungsten Oxide Films Prepared Through Sol-gel Coating on a Glass
In this study, a sol-gel peroxotungstic acid sol was employed to deposit tungsten oxide (WO3) films by the spin-coating technique. In view of smart window applications, electrochromic windows were then designed and fabricated using a thin tungsten oxide film. For this purpose, Glass/ FTO/ WO3/ electrolyte/ FTO/Glass could be of use due to its special structure that consists of an electrochromic...
متن کاملSTUDY OF ANNEALING TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON THE STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF DIP-COATED TiO2-SiO2 NANOSTRUCTURED FILMS
Abstract:In the present research, SiO2–TiO2 nanostructure films were successfully prepared on windshields using the sol–gel technique for photocatalytic applications. To prevent the thermal diffusion of the sodium ions from the glass to TiO2 films, the SiO2 layer was pre-coated on the glass by the sol–gel method. The substrates were dipped in the sol and withdrawn with the speed of 6cm/min-1 to...
متن کاملStudies on sol-gel dip-coated nanostructured ZnO thin films
Nanostructured ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating technique. Zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide were used as precursors and ethanol was as solvent. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) solution was added drop-wise under vigorous stirring to obtain the sol-gel of different pH (varying from 6.9 to 7.2). ZnO thin films were obtained by dipping the glass substrates for few seconds and then ...
متن کاملNew Sol-Gel Solution with 45 Days Stability for Preparation Silica Thin Films
As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
