Label-free Detection of Oligonucleotide Microarrays by the Scanning Kelvin Nanoprobe

The Kelvin measurement is a sensitive and label-free method based on work function measurements. Work function, the minimum energy required to extract an electron from a metallic material, can be shifted by ionic charges and dipoles present on the surface. The scanning Kelvin nanoprobe (SKN), a prob...
