A miniaturized electrochemical platform with an integrated PDMS reservoir for label-free DNA hybridization detection using nanostructured Au electrodes.

We report the fabrication and characterization of a miniaturized electrochemical platform for the label-free detection of DNA hybridization. The proposed platform is fabricated using microfabrication and electrodeposition techniques. Comprising a Ti working electrode with electrodeposited Au nanostructures, and Pt/Au pseudo-reference and counter electrodes, the device accounts for a limit of detection of 0.
