Abstract

We present a strategy to measure DNA hybridization in a manner applicable to portable sensors. An electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) serves as a transducer for surface hybridization of DNA. The key aspect of the design is the use of a floating-gate electrode which serves as an active sensor area while also connecting the EGT to an aqueous buffer containing analyte molecules. When DNA is hybridized at the floating-gate it shifts the effective voltage used to drive current through the EGT. The sensing strategy can be readily integrated into a microfluidic system and carried over to other classes of biomarkers.
