Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a real-time PCR device, having a block of repetitiously arranged heater units, for detecting electrochemical signals, and a real-time PCR method using the same. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the device not only analyzes multiple samples at a high speed via the block of repetitiously arranged heater units and PCR chips in a shape of a panel at the same time, but also contributes significantly to the micro-miniaturization and enhanced portability of products by simple modularization allowing the easy detection of continuous electrochemical signals generated in the process of nucleic acid amplification.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hairpin-type probe for detecting a target material, and a method for detecting the target material using the same. The hairpin-type probe for detecting the target material includes a loop with a target material recognizing portion, and a stem with an aptamer combined to an electrochemical signal material. The hairpin structure of the probe breaks when the probe is mixed with the target material, the signal material is separated from the aptamer to be freely moved to an electrode, and an electrochemical signal generated from the process changes for users to accurately detect the amount of the target material in real time.
