  • Patent number: 10889854
    Abstract: Present invention disclosed a novel method for detecting and quantifying target DNA from the biological sample. It provides a method of amplification of DNA sequences with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and its easy and accurate detection and quantification by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique. The target LAMP DNA is bound electrostatically with [Ru(bpy)3]+2 on the carbon electrode surface, and an ECL reaction is triggered by tripropylamine (TPrA) to yield luminescence. This is a highly sensitive strategy for the detection of sequence-specific DNA from different biological samples at picogram levels. The target DNA of Sus scrofa (pork) meat was detected as low as 1 pg/?L (3.43×10?1 copies/?L) and for Bacillus subtilis DNA samples the detection limit of 10 pg/?L (2.2×103 copies/?L) was achieved.

  • Patent number: 10465244
    Abstract: This study describes about a new electrochemical biosensor using DNA-redox electrostatic interaction and their subsequent non-specific adsorption on graphene screen-printed electrode or biochip. The ruthenium hexamine molecule [Ru(NH3)6]3+, or RuHex, was observed to form complexes with free DNA in solution that adsorbed onto graphene surfaces, enabling the development of a rapid, high-sensitivity DNA biosensor. Reproducible cathodic current signals were generated from these low-cost graphene biochips, both in the presence and absence of dsDNA and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) amplicons. The combination of the DNA-redox molecule complexes and the graphene surface therefore provided a novel detection strategy. This new biosensor was able to identify different meat species based on the isothermal amplification of target genes followed by electrochemical detection with square wave voltammetry.
