  • Rapid Detection and Identification of Bacteria with Graphene Field Effect Transistors and Peptide Probes
    Publication number: 20240053295
    Abstract: A method and system for label-free detection of pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria is disclosed. The method includes fabricating a G-FET/peptide device having a synthesized peptide probe capable of recognizing and binding to a bacterial target; performing electric-field assisted binding of at least one bacterial cell of the bacterial target to the G-FET/peptide device; and electrically detecting the binding of the at least one bacterial cell to the G-FET/peptide device.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 13, 2023
    Publication date: February 15, 2024
    Applicant: The Trustees of Boston College
    Inventors: Kenneth S. Burch, Tim van Opijnen, Jianmin Gao, Narendra Kumar, Juan C. Ortiz-Marquez, Wenjian Wang, Mason Gray
