A simple EIS sensor was developed for the highly sensitive and specific detection of G–G mismatches in dsDNA using a small molecule-modified gold electrode. Recognition and detection were achieved by ΔRct before and after incubation with target DNA.

Detection of specific nucleic acid sequences is invaluable in biological studies such as genetic disease diagnostics and genome profiling. Here we developed a highly sensitive and specific detection method that combines an advanced oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) with multicolor single-molecule fluorescence. We demonstrated that 7-nt long DNA barcodes have the optimal short length to ascertain specificity while being long enough for sufficient ligation. Using four spectrally separated fluorophores to label DNA barcodes, we simultaneously distinguished four DNA target sequences differing by only a single nucleotide. Our new single-molecule approach will allow for accurate identification of low abundance molecules without the need for target DNA pre-amplification.

Immunoassay plays an important role in the early screening and diagnosis of diseases. The use of electrochemical methods to realize the label-free, specific and rapid detection of antigens has attracted extensive attention from researchers. In this study, we realized the function of immunosensing and detection by lithography, the interdigitated gold electrode on the polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) membrane. Then, the gold electrode was biofunctionalized and the characterization was verified by atomic force microscopy, which was finally for the detection of mice IgG. This immunosensor has a low detection limit, with a broad linear detection range of 0.01–10 ng/mL. The results show that the electrochemical impedance sensor made of metal electrodes based on PEN flexible materials is suitable for immunoassay experiments. If this method could be proved by further studies, broad application prospects can be seen in routine immunoassays.

Abstract We describe in this report a development of label-free electrochemical DNA sensor based on a novel nanostructured electrode of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ nano-flowers-like manganese dioxide (MnO2)/polyaniline nanowires (PANi NWs) nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was synthesized in-situ onto an interdigitated platinum microelectrode (Pt) using a combination of chemical and electrochemical synthesis methods: chemical preparation of MWCNTs/MnO2 and electropolymerization of PANi NWs. The fabricated MWCNTs/MnO2/PANi NWs was then used to develop a label-free electrochemical DNA sensor for a specific gene of Escherichia coli (E.coli) O157:H7 detection. The MWCNTs/MnO2/PANi NWs modified Pt electrode’s surface can facilitate for probe DNA strands immobilization and, therefore the electrochemical signal of the DNA sensors has been improved. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were conducted to investigate the output signals generated by the specific binding of probe and target DNA sequences. Obtained results indicated that the developed electrochemical biosensor can detect the target DNA in the linear range of 5 pM to 500 nM with a low limit of detection (LOD) at 4.42 × 10 –13 M. The research results demonstrated that the MWCNTs/MnO2/PANi NWs nanocomposite-based electrochemical DNA sensor has a great potential application to the development of highly sensitive and selective electrochemical DNA sensors to detect pathogenic agents.
