One-Step Manufacture Of Nanowire Biosensors
One-step in-situ synthesis. Each nanowire is fabricated on the device in seconds and is functionalized as it is grown. There is no need for post-synthesis modification or placement. Easy manufacture. UC's methods are compatible with current fabrication technologies and could be used to develop densely packed arrays of heterogonous probes on an array. Instantaneous, specific, and label-free detection. Biological targets selectively bind to the wire's functional groups, leading to a rapid and easily measured change in conductance. Versatility. The UC methods could be readily adapted to sense biological materials, chemical species, and gases.
