Abstract: | We describe a rapid, quantitative, multiplex, self-labelled, and real-time DNA biosensor employing Ag nanoparticle-bound DNA hairpin probes immobilized in a microfluidic channel. Capture of complementary target DNAs by the microarrayed DNA hairpin probes results in a positive fluorescence signal via a conformational change of the probe molecules, signalling the presence of target DNAs. The device's capability for quantitative analyses was evaluated and a detection time as low as 6 min (with a target flow rate of 0.5 μl min(-1)) was sufficient to generate significant detection signals. This detection time translates to merely 3 μl of target solution consumption. An unoptimized sensitivity of 500 pM was demonstrated for this device. |
