Mercury film electrodes (MFE) have recently been used in nucleic acid electrochemical analysis as alternatives to the classical mercury drop ones. DNA modified with osmium tetroxide, 2,2'-bipyridine (Os,bipy) can be detected with a high sensitivity at mercury electrodes via measurements of a catalytic osmium signal. In this paper we show that mercury film on a glassy carbon electrode can be used in voltammetric analysis of Os,bipy-modified DNA. Application of the MFE as a detection electrode in double-surface electrochemical DNA hybridization assay involving osmium labeling of target DNA is demonstrated.
汞膜电极(MFE)最近已被用于核酸电化学分析,作为传统汞滴电极的替代品。用四氧化锇、2,2'-联吡啶(Os,bipy)修饰的DNA可通过测量催化锇信号在汞电极上以高灵敏度检测。在本文中,我们表明玻碳电极上的汞膜可用于Os,bipy修饰DNA的伏安分析。证明了MFE作为检测电极在涉及靶DNA锇标记的双面电化学DNA杂交测定中的应用。
