  • Patent number: 9880162
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for manufacturing a multi-functional bio-material conjugate used as a biosensor for detecting microorganisms, and the like, and a multi-functional bio-material conjugate manufactured by means of the same. The method for manufacturing a multi-functional bio-material conjugate includes: (a) coating a first nanoparticle having magnetic or fluorescent characteristics with protein; (b) manufacturing a conjugate by adsorbing a second nanoparticle having metallic characteristics onto the first nanoparticle coated with protein; and (c) manufacturing the multi-functional bio-material conjugate by adsorbing a bio-material onto the conjugate. The method for manufacturing a multi-functional bio-material conjugate according to the present invention may prevent precipitation of the nanoparticles, easily immobilize the bio-material, and manufacture a bio-material conjugate having multiple functions, by using two kinds of the particles.

  • Publication number: 20170010234
    Abstract: A membrane electrode includes a novel sensor combining a filtering function of a membrane and a signal measuring ability of an electrode. A target material may be measured by filtration through the membrane. A small amount of target materials may be detected with high sensitivity using an amplified electrical signal by increasing electrical conductivity by reducing metal ions on the membrane, and thus the target material may be subject to quantitative analysis. In addition, only a target material selectively binding to a receptor may be filtrated by passing a sample through the membrane after a receptor material is fixed to the electrode, and thus may be used to detect an electrical signal. In addition, the sensor may measure a signal in various methods such as electrical conductivity, impedance, etc.
