In recent years, various isothermal amplification techniques have been developed as alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The integration of isothermal amplification with electrical or electrochemical devices has enabled high-throughput nucleic acid-based assays with high sensitivity. We performed solid-phase rolling circle amplification (RCA) on the surface of a Au electrode, and detected RCA products in situ using chronocoulometry (CC) with [Ru (NH)] as the signaling molecule. Detection sensitivity for DNA and a microRNA (miR-143) was 100 fM and 1 pM, respectively. Furthermore, we conducted potentiometric DNA detection using an ethidium ion (Et)-selective electrode (EtISE) for real-time monitoring of isothermal DNA amplification by primer-generation RCA (PG-RCA). The EtISE potential enabled real-time monitoring of the PG-RCA reaction in the range of 10 nM-1 μM of initial target DNA. Devices based on these electrochemical techniques represent a new strategy for replacing conventional PCR for on-site detection of nucleic acids of viruses or microorganisms.
近年来,已开发出各种等温扩增技术作为聚合酶链反应(PCR)的替代方法。等温扩增与电学或电化学装置的结合,实现了具有高灵敏度的高通量基于核酸的检测。我们在金电极表面进行了固相滚环扩增(RCA),并使用[Ru(NH)]作为信号分子,通过计时库仑法(CC)原位检测RCA产物。对DNA和微小RNA(miR-143)的检测灵敏度分别为100 fM和1 pM。此外,我们使用乙锭离子(Et)选择性电极(EtISE)进行电位DNA检测,以实时监测引物生成RCA(PG-RCA)介导的等温DNA扩增。EtISE电位能够在10 nM至1 μM的初始靶DNA范围内实时监测PG-RCA反应。基于这些电化学技术的装置代表了一种替代传统PCR用于现场检测病毒或微生物核酸的新策略。
