Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a nano gap electrode and a nano gap device manufactured by using the same are provided to manufacture uniform and reproductive nano gap electrodes by controlling the density and the reactive time of a reaction material. A method for manufacturing a nano gap electrode is characterized by dipping a substrate(1) having metal patterns(2) into a solution containing metal ions. And a reduced metal is grown on a surface of the metal pattern by a reducing agent included in the solution.
Abstract:
A bio-sensor is provided to detect the existence and the concentration of various bio-materials such as genes and proteins to be measured efficiently and electrically. A bio-sensor in which a plurality of interdigitated electrode sensor units, each of which is independently operated, is integrated in a substrate comprises a first and a second electrodes formed to be spaced apart from one another with a multi-line shape and a biomolecule receptor fixed on a sensor which is fixed on the substrate exposed between the first and second electrodes and specifically bound to biomolecules, and is characterized in that the biomolecule is analyzed by the number of the multi-line electrode sensor units electrically conducted by conductive particles directly bound to biomolecules captured by the biomolecule receptor or conductive particles bound to the biomolecules via the biomolecule receptor. A method for analyzing biomolecules comprises the steps of: (a) contacting a sample solution including the biomolecules to be measured with the bio-sensor to capture the biomolecules in the sensor-fixed biomolecule receptor fixed on the substrate exposed between the first and second electrodes of the multi-line electrode sensor units independently operated to one another; (b) contacting the biomolecules bound to the sensor-fixed biomolecules receptor with the particle fixed biomolecule receptor in which the conductive particles are fixed to bind the conductive particles to the biomolecules; (c) measuring the electric conductivity of the bio-sensor; and (d) converting the electric conductivity into the concentration of the biomolecules in the sample solution from the relation between the rate of the sensor showing the change of the electric conductivity before and after the sample solution contact and the concentration.
