Analytical method using modified scanning probes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present invention provides a method of analyzing for a specific material in a sample using a sensor including a resonating member having resonating properties. The resonating member has a probe and a known material is disposed on or forms the probe. The method includes the steps of positioning the sensor proximate to the sample, detecting a force dependent change in the resonance properties of the sensor, and confirming the presence of the specific material based on the identity of the known material and the detection of a resonance change.

High aspect ratio carbon nanotubes are ideal candidates to improve the resolution and lifetime of atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes. Here, we present simple methods for the preparation of carbon nanotube modified AFM probes utilising solvent evaporation or dielectrophoresis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the modified probes shows that the carbon nanotubes attach to the probe apex as ...
متن کاملAmplification of fluorescence detection of DNA based on magnetic separation.
A novel nanoparticles-based fluorescence detection method has been developed by taking advantage of magnetic separation and amplified fluorescence detection. This DNA sensor relies on a "sandwich" hybridization strategy, in which the DNA targets are first hybridized to captured oligonucleotide probes immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles, and then hybridized with thiol-modified oligonucleotide ...
