Nanoscale Bio-Molecular Control Using EC-OWLS
Bearinger J.P., Vörös J., Spencer N.D., Hubbell J.A., Textor M., ETH Zürich/ Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US
A new technique has been developed that combines evanescent-field optical sensing with electrochemical control of surface adsorption processes. This technique, termed Electrochemical Optical Waveguide Lightmode Spectroscopy (EC-OWLS), proved efficient in monitoring molecular surface adsorption and [...]
Molecular Recognition on Demand
DNA is the only chemistry that allows for ?molecular recognition on demand?. That is, unlike any other molecular recognition chemistry, DNA allows for the simple design and rapid synthesis of molecule sets that will recognize [...]
PCR Micro-Voume Device for Detection of Nucleic Acids
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an enzyme-mediated nucleic acid amplifer process that is employed extensively throughout the medical and biological sciences. The technique has risen to acclaim largely through its exquisite sensitivity, but an [...]
Glucose Sensor Based On Enzyme Entrapment In Polyacrylamide Microgels
Glucose oxidase (GOx), was encapsulated in polyacrylamide microgels with the aim to preserve the enzymatic activity and to fabricate a biosensor with these microgel particles (1-3). The biosensor presents great stability, but when it is [...]
