Highly Sensitive Microrna Detection Using Gold-nano-particles on Power-free Microfluidic Chip: towards Point-of-care Early-stage Cancer Diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method of rapid sequence-selective microRNA (miRNA) detection with small amount of sample using power-free PDMS microfluidic device and gold-nanoparticles (GNPs). Target miRNA hybridized to probe DNA was labeled by DNA-coated GNPs, which also act as signal amplifiers. This method allows us to detect miRNA of certain sequence in 30 min with 0.5 μL sample volume. This method might substantially contribute to future point-of-care (POC) early-stage cancer diagnosis.

SUB-ATTOMOLE DETECTION OF MicroRNA IN TWENTY MINUTES USING POWER-FREE MICROFLUIDIC CHIP: TOWARDS POINT-OF-CARE TESTING
This paper reports the first achievement in sub-attomole microRNA detection on the microfluidic device realized by laminar flow-assisted dendritic amplification (LFDA). This method allows us to detect microRNA at a limit of detection of 0.5 pM from 0.5 μL sample solution, which corresponds to 0.25 attomole, with the detection time of 20 min. Since some miRNAs circulating in blood have been foun...
