Towards a Microfluidics-based Nucleic Acid Biosensor Using Immobilized Quantum Dot – DNA Conjugates for FRET Detection of Target Oligonucleotides

The potential for an electrokinetically driven, FRET-based microfluidic biosensor for SNP discrimination has been explored. The method functionalized the glass wall of a PDMS/glass microfluidics channel with multidentate thiol ligands to noncovalently immobilize MPA capped CdSe/ZnS QDs. Single str...
