A nano-metallic-particles-based CMOS image sensor for DNA detection

In this paper we report on a study of the CMOS image sensor detection of DNA based on self-assembled nano-metallic particles, which are selectively deposited on the surface of the passive image sensor. The nano-metallic particles effectively block the optical radiation in the visible spectrum of ordinary light source. When such a technical method is applied to DNA detection, the requirement for a special UV light source in the most popular fluorescence is eliminated. The DNA detection methodology is tested on a CMOS sensor chip fabricated using a standard 0.5 μm CMOS process. It is demonstrated that the approach is highly selective to detecting even a signal-base mismatched DNA target with an extremely-low-concentration DNA sample down to 10 pM under an ordinary light source.     

“菠菜叶中色素的提取与分离”实验改进

“菠菜叶中色素的提取和分离”是大学有机化学实验课程的重要项目之一,但在教学中一直存在大量使用管制试剂、实验时间过长、实验步骤繁琐、分离效果不佳等问题。本文对菠菜叶色素分离的薄层色谱条件进行了系统探究,尝试采用了正己烷-无水乙醇、正己烷-正丁醇等多种试剂组合作为展开剂,实验结果表明最佳的展开剂是体积比为10.0:1.0的正己烷-无水乙醇。采用正己烷-无水乙醇、正己烷-正丁醇作为洗脱剂进行柱色谱分离实验,最终分别得到了以硅胶为固定相、正己烷-无水乙醇为洗脱剂的梯度洗脱方案以及以中性氧化铝为固定相、正己烷-正丁醇为洗脱剂的梯度洗脱方案。该实验方案使用更友好的试剂,试剂用量少,实验耗时短,分离效果好。
