Au decorated ZnO thin film: application to DNA sensing

Here we reported the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) decorated ZnO thin films based biosensor for the detection of pork DNA hybridization. Label-free DNA detection is increasingly important in bio diagnostics, food analysis and forensic investigations. The capacitance, permittivity and impedance prof...

description Here we reported the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) decorated ZnO thin films based biosensor for the detection of pork DNA hybridization. Label-free DNA detection is increasingly important in bio diagnostics, food analysis and forensic investigations. The capacitance, permittivity and impedance profiles of the biosensor clearly differentiated the complementary and non-complementary target DNA detection using low-cost dielectric analyzer. In this study, GNPs were used to create an attachment surface between the ZnO thin films and the thiol-modified probe DNA and to enhance the sensitivity of the biosensor up to ~59 %. The ZnO thin films and 35 ± 5 nm in diameters of GNP-coating on their surfaces were confirmed with various types of measurement such as FESEM, XRD, EDX and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
