چکیده

Nanopipette technology has been proven to be a labelfree biosensor capable of identifying DNA and proteins. The nanopipette can include specific recognition elements for analyte discrimination based on size, shape and charge density. The electrical read-out and the low cost fabrication are unique features that give this technology an enormous potential. Unlike other biosensing platforms, nanopipettes can be precisely manipulated with submicron accuracy and used to study single cell dynamics.

Functionalized nanopipettes: toward label-free, single cell biosensors

Nanopipette technology has been proven to be a label-free biosensor capable of identifying DNA and proteins. The nanopipette can include specific recognition elements for analyte discrimination based on size, shape, and charge density. The fully electrical read-out and the ease and low-cost fabrication are unique features that give this technology an enormous potential. Unlike other biosensing ...

Label-free biosensing with functionalized nanopipette probes.

Nanopipette technology can uniquely identify biomolecules such as proteins based on differences in size, shape, and electrical charge. These differences are determined by the detection of changes in ionic current as the proteins interact with the nanopipette tip coated with probe molecules. Here we show that electrostatic, biotin-streptavidin, and antibody-antigen interactions on the nanopipett...

Streptavidin-functionalized capillary immune microreactor for highly efficient chemiluminescent immunoassay.

A streptavidin functionalized capillary immune microreactor was designed for highly efficient flow-through chemiluminescent (CL) immunoassay. The functionalized capillary could be used as both a support for highly efficient immobilization of antibody and a flow cell for flow-through immunoassay. The functionalized inner wall and the capture process were characterized using scanning electron mic...

Nanopipette Array with Carbon Nanotube Tips

Key Idea As an indispensable tool for biological investigations into cells, the micropipette allows sampling and injecting fluid across the cell membrane. This operation, however, requires a high dexterity of the operator in order not to damage the membrane and since it is a serial process, it is highly time-consuming if the number of samples grows. To increase the productivity of the sampling ...

Single-cell intracellular nano-pH probes.

Within a large clonal population, such as cancerous tumor entities, cells are not identical, and the differences between intracellular pH levels of individual cells may be important indicators of heterogeneity that could be relevant in clinical practice, especially in personalized medicine. Therefore, the detection of the intracellular pH at the single-cell level is of great importance to ident...
