摘要
An effective method for amplifying electrical detection of DNA hybridization based on carbon-nanotubes (CNT) carrying a large number of US particle tracers is described. Such use of CNT amplification platforms is combined with an ultrasensitive stripping-voltammetric detection of the dissolved CdS tags following dual hybridization events of a sandwich assay on a streptavidin modified 96-well microplate. Anchoring of the monolayer-protected quantum dots to the acetone-activated CNT was accomplished via hydrophobic interactions. SEM images indicate that the nanocrystals are attached along the CNT sidewall, with a loading of around 500 particles per CNT. A substantial (similar to500-fold) lowering of the detection limit is obtained compared to conventional single-particle stripping hybridization assays, reflecting the US loading on the CNT carrier. A large excess (250-fold) of non-complimentary oligonucleotides have minimal effect on the response. Such use of CNT as carriers for multiple electrochemical tags offers great promise for ultrasensitive detection of other biorecognition events. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
