Label free detection of nucleic acids by modulating nanochannel surfaces

Abstract

We develop surface-modified 100 nm silica nanofluidic channels that change in measured conductivity upon exposure to single- or double-stranded DNA. Through careful monitoring of both electromigrative and advective current in the channel, we can detect nanomolar concentrations of DNA. These results can be exploited for inexpensive, all-electronic DNA sensors.
