Abstract
Detection of specific oligonucleotide (ODN) fragments has become an important field in many areas of biomedicine. We describe a novel ODN sensor based on electropolymerization of a conducting polymer (polypyrrole) in the presence of a sample containing ODN(s). The resulting trapped ODN(s) are then probed by addition of complimentary sequence ODN. By incorporating Us nanoparticles with the probe, a significant improvement in sensor sensitivity was observed. Impedance spectroscopy suggested that optimal detection of hybridization occurred at frequencies >= 3000 Hz (for a 0.07 cm(2) 85 nin thick film). At these frequencies, the impedance signal was almost linear with the logarithm of ODN concentration in the range 3.7-370 nM with a detection limit of similar to 1 nM ODN (for the sensor fabricated). Importantly, the sensor could be regenerated by removing hybridized ODN with NaOH suggesting possibility of the sensor re-use. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
