Abstract: Provided is a method of sensing biomolecules using a bioFET, the method including: forming a layer including Au on a gate of the bioFET; forming a probe immobilized on a substrate separated from the gate by a predetermined distance, and a biomolecule having a thiol group (—SH) which is incompletely bonded to the probe; reacting the probe with a sample including a target molecule; and measuring a current flowing in a channel region between a source and a drain of the bioFET.

Abstract: Provided is a field effect transistor (FET) type biosensor including a source electrode, a gate, and a drain electrode. A ligand that can bind to a side of a nucleic acid is added to the surface of the gate. In a conventional FET type biosensor, it is difficult to detect a signal within the debye length because a target nucleic acid is directly fixed to the surface of a gate of the conventional FET. However, in the present invention, this problem can be overcome and the debye length can be increased by treating the surface of a gate of an FET sensor with a ligand that can bind to a side of a nucleic acid. The ligand can be adsorbed onto the surface of the gate. In this case, the nucleic acid is adsorbed parallel to the surface of the gate, not perpendicular to the surface of the gate, thus generating an effective depletion region. In addition, hybridization efficiency can be increased because a hybridized sample can be injected into an FET sensor at high ionic strength.

Abstract: Provided are a sensing switch and a sensing method using the same. The sensing switch includes: a substrate; a supporter on the substrate; a sensing plate that is connected to a side of the supporter and is in parallel with the substrate by a predetermined distance; a receptor binding region on an upper surface of an end portion of the sensing plate; an electric or magnetic field generation device that induces deflection of the sensing plate when a receptor bound to the receptor binding region is selectively bound to an electrically or magnetically active ligand; and a pair of switching electrodes that are separated by a predetermined distance and is connected when the sensing plate contacts the substrate due to the deflection of the sensing plate. A target material need not be labelled, a signal processing of a fluorescent or electrical detection signal using an analysis apparatus is not required, and a signal can be directly decoded by confirming whether a current flows through the switch.

Abstract: A quality control method of a DNA microarray is provided which includes preparing a DNA spotting solution containing a first fluorescent dye having particular excitation and emission wavelengths, applying the DNA spotting solution to a substrate of a DNA chip to form DNA spots in which the first fluorescent dye is bound to the substrate, and detecting fluorescent signals from the DNA spots. In the DNA microarray quality control method, since a signal from a fluorescent dye covalently bound to the solid chip surface together with DNA probe is used for the quality control, staining and dye-removing processes, which were performed in conventional quality control methods, are unnecessary.
