- Description
- The response of an Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) sensor using DNA aptamers is affected by many factors, such as DNA density, charge and conformational changes upon DNA-target binding, and buffer conditions. We report here for the first time on the optimisation of an EIS aptamer-based sensor by using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation mode (QCM-D). As a case study, we employed a DNA aptamer against Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA). PSA detection was achieved by functionalising the gold sensor surface via thiol chemistry with different ratios of thiolated-DNA aptamer and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) used as spacer molecules. PSA binding efficiency can be monitored by measuring QCM-D signals which not only provide information about the mass of PSA bound on the sensor surface, but also crucial information about the aptamer conformation and layer hydration.
