Abstract

We present a new biomolecule detection method based on nanoparticle counting via a micropore, which can detect ultra-low abundance biomolecules. In this method, aptamer (single stranded oligonucleotide or peptide) modified microparticles with attached complementary sequence (CS)-conjugated silica nanoparticles (SNPs) were used as sensing materials. Target biomolecules (e.g. adenosine) induce conformational dissociation of complementary sequence - aptamer complex and release SNPs from the microparticles. A resistive pulse sensor with a micropore is then used to detect the released nanoparticles. From the number of the released nanoparticles, biomolecule concentration can be determined digitally.
