Electrochemical DNA biosensor using graphene biochip for species identification
Abstract:
This study describes about a new electrochemical biosensor using DNA-redox electrostatic interaction and their subsequent non-specific adsorption on graphene screen-printed electrode or biochip. The ruthenium hexamine molecule [Ru(NH3)6]3+, or RuHex, was observed to form complexes with free DNA in solution that adsorbed onto graphene surfaces, enabling the development of a rapid, high-sensitivity DNA biosensor. Reproducible cathodic current signals were generated from these low-cost graphene biochips, both in the presence and absence of dsDNA and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) amplicons. The combination of the DNA-redox molecule complexes and the graphene surface therefore provided a novel detection strategy. This new biosensor was able to identify different meat species based on the isothermal amplification of target genes followed by electrochemical detection with square wave voltammetry.
