  • Nanoporous silicon-based electrochemical nucleic acid biosensor
    Publication number: 20090050492
    Abstract: A method and biosensor device for detecting single strand target nucleic acid by cyclic voltammetry is described. A porous silicon chip is linked to bound DNA probe complementary to the target nucleic acid. The device is particularly useful for detecting microorganisms and viruses that may be pathogenic or cancer genes, however any target nucleic acid can be detected by using a specific DNA probe.
